2010 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Santorini Black

Hi all,

I know this might sounds like a daft question, i need some tyres on my Freelander......im going for GG ATs. Anyway obviously my budget is massively limited, do i hold off buying the GG AT and go for some winter tyres or would it be recommended to get the ATs and then when i can afford it some extra wheels with winter tyres on?

Kent. Snow?

Yurp, enough to go sledging in Feb 2012 and plenty more in Jan 2013 which meant it was 4x4 only into Canterbury from our village., so obviously a trip to te seaside was in order... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9tVomoumrs

Only a tickle in Jan this year though, but we made up for that by driving to the Alps in Feb

Not cold enough to bother yet here. If I were doing a lot of night-time driving I'd put them on now, but as it is I'll wait a couple more weeks. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

On the dusting of snow we had last year I would not recommend General Grabber AT's. They don't like the snow and they really don't like light icy patches you would find on country lanes.
