Tyre size increase
jimny33:
i love how it looks
How does it corner on the road...its just I was told I shouldnt go wider than a 205 tyre on the 15 inch landy rims as it makes the handling go soft?
V8MoneyPit:
Having driven it a bit last night and this morning, I would say the ride quality is better than the Goodyear Wranglers. It is possible it is a bit more 'wallowy' on the corners, but it has been slippery so haven't given it too much stick yet. But you make allowances for more aggresive tyres in the way you drive the car. I can't see it being a problem.
And going into the field last night to feed the dog meat, sorry, ponies :lol: there is a slight side slope on a corner where the Wranglers would slide, but it was absolutely rock solid with the BFG's :D

Well I've bitten the bullet and bought a set, in the end I got them from Havers £376 fitted and balanced, JSF wanted £410.
I had them fitted yesterday afternoon and have done 100+ miles on them so far and all I can say to all other Freelander owners out there is BUY THEM NOW your car will be transformed.

Well done.... better late than never :lol:
The fields are *really* boggy at the moment and the Freebie takes it all in it's stride on the BFG AT's. It's one of the few to be seen with great clods of mud up the side and on the bonnet :D Sarah came home one day and told me I should be proud of her because she managed to cover the front with mud :lol:
Doobreydog:
It is amazing how a freebie with its limited ground clearance and reputation among other LR owners is often the one to get over an obstacle (whatever it might be) and others struggle or fail....I have had to limp home a few times as escort for "proper LR" that have had problems :D
Big clods of earth look great unless you are on the edge of the edge at Stannage with a passenger trying yo jump ship :twisted:
