just got 4 steel wheels of fleebay and fitted with 195/80/15 insa turbo dakar tyres for winter and maybe a little off roading tried them on and wow what a change,no tightness whe when pulling away and less tightness when on full lock.put this down to my standard 18 inch tyres being 3/4 worn on front and new on rear,only downside with the insa turbo dakar is road noise:screaming_bug_eye_f

it is always surprising the difference new tyres make to the freelander drivetrain whatever the size.
