Freelander GS


Picked this up last weekend, 07 plate and high miles of 167,000 but been very well looked after. Can't believe how well it drives. Running Nokian Rotiva AT tyres at the moment, will need replacing soon so keen to hear recommendations/searches on the forum. Have to say I'm really impressed with it, my first step into Landrover ownership.

You're correct, that's one of the pics from the advert. It's been snowing since I got it, ideal timing really!

Lots of chatter on tyres so do a search via the tab. I m now on CrossClimtes, a little more expensive but I am a happy enough bunny. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Another option, especially for the snowy weather is Nokian Weatherproof. I loved the drive they gave when I had a pair on the front my 1st FL2 but they did wear out quite quickly. Although, other people have got good mileage out of them.
Congrats on your purchase. I hope it works for you. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Scotland 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e GS Manual Zermatt Silver

I am more than happy with Quatrac5’s on my GS. Performed well on snow and ice over the last couple of months on remote Highland roads at night, yet also good on a quick run down onto Motorways further south. I’ve been running these for a number of years on the Volvo and really impressed by their all-season ability, especially in snow and on very wet roads with a lot of standing water. Not an off-road tyre, though, if that is what you really need. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Proper ' ansome car. I do like the look of the GS wheels and sensible rubber for a 4 x 4. My vote is for Nokian Weatherproof - leave em on all year as you gets lots of weather up there no doubt.
