Will these fit a 05 freelander?
There is a note saying spacer may be required on later models.
Not worth buying if thats the case

I have them on my 2001 TD4 if thats any help?

Singvogel · Mar 12, 2013

I can't understand why anyone would say that you need spacers for these?????

matt1295 · Mar 12, 2013

thats my tyre size on my 2000 model

hsp · Mar 13, 2013

That is a standard FL size, I have that too, FL1 1998, 1.8 petrol

Big Uli · Mar 13, 2013

Thanx guys

I think it is cause some things are changed after the 2004 models
Not sure but it said so in the listing so I thought I double check
Looks like the seller is covering his back just in case

215/65/16 will fit all FL1's provided they are fitted to the correct wheels for the year of the vehicle. It's the standard size for 16" wheels.

You can go to 215/70 R16 without any trouble, this gives you access to more AT tyres and makes the speedo accurate (mine reads 1mph fast which is perfect.)

Big Uli · Mar 13, 2013

It all depends what these tyres and wheels end up going for.
Not buying if they are going above a certain amount as the tyres aint exactly what I want

I arrowed it down to Falken , Maxxis and General Grabber tyres in my search for some beefy tread that is good and not going to break the bank as I also will change the VCU.
Falken and General are in top of the list in that order.

WLJayne · Mar 13, 2013

Both very good tyres if you can't stretch to BFG. Falken's aren't quite as good under wet braking as the grabbers, but they are a bit cheaper at most places.

Personally I would say go for the grabbers, they are a great tyre from everything I have seen and read

.

Big Uli · Mar 13, 2013

The grabbers look better too
It's these Falkens I put on top of my list after spending a few evenings weighing up tyres
Falken LA-AT T110

Rough road driving sounds just right for what I need
That bit of off roading I will ever do shouldn't be too much for those tyres
Probably some green laning at times

I really don't want to do a lot of rough off roading as my lively hood depends on me having a van

WLJayne · Mar 13, 2013

Well Falken's are good enough for NASCAR

.

Big Uli · Mar 13, 2013

Right,thats it, I'm getting grabbers

Nascar

Load of rubbish
