Tyres For the Gaylander?

Got the Freelander at the weekend, in need of new shoes at the front, Can you advise as to what to put on her?

She has 215-65-16's on at thew min, are these the correct ones? or would you advise any others?

Thanks for the help guys

these will be on road mostly....

I was astonished by the insurance costs……£12 a month

Yes that is the standard size for the 16" rim

You can go to a 70 or even 80 profile for a bit of lift !!

Personally Im a fan of matching rubber all round but whatever you get, if youre only getting 2 - stick em on the rear !!!!!

Yes, must put the new rubber on the rear.

I've got some Goodyear Wrangler AT/R's on her. Works pretty fine for me. And they look nice too...

michelin latitudes are fine on mine

I have the standard 60's STR's on mine. What sort of lift do the 70 or 80's give?
Tx.

Sure ill be corrected if Im wrong but I think you ll get about 1" to 1 1/2" lift with the higher profile tyres

ive got bridgestone dueler h/t on the front and cooper discoeverer a/t on the rear(incase i get stuck)195/80/r15.

Like the look of these tyres. Assuming all 4 the same, does the higher profile have any bad effect on the transmission?
