Steve ray:
BFG's are better. Not much difference in price between the two brands.

The Cooper STT mentioned are the MT version, not a patch on BFG MT's although you did say that you were after ATs, which should be a good choice for most requirements on a Freelander

V8MoneyPit:
We fitted 215/75 BFG AT's at about the same time as Tony.... I think he waited to see how we found them If I remember correctly  :lol:

They are quiet on the road and handle all we need to throw at them (which includes some seriously sloppy mud around our land in the winter). They are slightly taller, but the speedo still reads just under what the sat nav suggests we are doing.

Ours is pictured in this thread (the black one.... well, the dirty grey one!):

Sorry to hijack,the wifes TD4 needs new tyres is it just 215/65/16 or can we go a touch bigger with no mods,she is mainly a tarmac landy.

roscoe:
In my Freelander handbook, it says always put new tyres on the rear wheels, not the front?

Is this correct?

V8MoneyPit:
There was something strange with earlier cars that wore out the rears in a strange way. They ended up making a knocking noise just like a dodgy CV joint. Replacing the rear tyres solved to problem.
