You will get different answers from different people but I use Perelli Verde, I think they are excellent. You would not be disappointed if you bought these.

I would think so, but I am not sure what all the extra letters mean

I couldn't find local stock in Leeds so I went with MYTyres and had a fitting partner put them on

Very straight forward

Not sure on the 17's speed rating but the have some 17's

Those are the size I had on my last car and as Npinks said absolutely no issues,
The ones in the link from Mytyres are only 99 load rating you would need the 108 ones.
In short excellent tyres at a reasonable price. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.

Stop global winging.

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

Another vote for the GT's. Great in the ice and snow, wet and dry. Noise levels vary depending on the road surface but overall I would say they are quieter than Wranglers. I wouldn't stick anything else on mine now.
