Hi Bandit, are these on 17" wheels? Any problems with clearance?

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Loire Blue

Friday I had the new Hankook Kinergy 4S All Season Tyres fitted to my Standard 17" Rims these tyres seam to be the best I have ever had very quiet on the road and great grip off road.
I can't be bothered changing from winter to summer tyres anymore. Might be me just being awkward as I get older I have even started to restrict my wifes spending!. Very Happy





The Hankook Kinergy 4S H740 is an all-season tyre which has been manufactured to provide a multi-performance balance. The use of different sipes allows the Kinergy 4S H740 to have excellent summer and winter tyre capabilities simultaneously.

Hankook has designed the tyre with a high-grip silica compound for improved traction in wet and snowy conditions, and the design also lowers rolling resistance. The polyester tyre carcass line has improved sidewall stiffness to make it more robust and durable, which is further improved by ultra high strength bead wire.

Steering responsiveness is ensured through the use of high-hardness bead filler, which also assists with improved handling for motorists.
•Cutting edge manufacturing technology employed to deliver outstanding performance, stability, and grip.
•Tyre durability and strength maintained through a jointless cover reinforced belt.
•Broad-lateral grooves in the tread pattern for excellent snow traction performance.
•Excellent performance across a variety of conditions.
•10% braking reduction on snow and 6% improvement in the dry.

Ok I admit to not bothering to change over to winter tyres this year - it has been mild, stayed on the Goodyear rubber she came with, then again the winters are Goodyear, and the muds are Goodyear MTRs.

But restricting the wife's spending, your a braver man than me Bow down

SWMBO has agreed that next year we can take the van to Croatia - I believe you can still get MTRTs in Croatia Very Happy Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

Hi, they're 245/70, not 75, always getting mixed up. There''s no clearance issues and fit in spare well, yes on 17s. You can get the AT3 in 245/75R17 as well, reckon they'd probably be OK clearance wise, but not sure about spare well.

Thanks for reply. I will be fitting the 245/70s when my 235/65s are worn out. I will be selling my summer tyres and wheels and staying with the GGS all year.

Can you post a new thread about the secret to your success with that please Laughing

Back on to topic I'm looking to change the 235 50 R18 Continentals on my recently acquired Kuga and was looking of a budget at around £100-120 per tyre fitted. Am going to go with an All Season tyre (no off roading) and was looking at the Pirelli Verde All Season. Anybody recommend this or another all season tyre at this price. I did really want the Goodyear or Nokian that came top of the Autoexpress test but it looks like they don't do these in 235 50 R18

I have just had 4 Pirelli Verde All Season fitted on my 19" wheels, soooo much quieter than tha Continentals it had, however, they also feel softer and a little wallowy, not as re assuring in fast corners but they may need a few miles on them yet, probably only around 100miles at present so too early to call.
Pleased I went for them and I would certainly recommend them unless you area boy racer Thumbs Up

Had a set of Scorpion Verde All Season on for 18 months and around 12000 miles (size 235/60 1Cool and they're wearing well, are SO much quieter than other tyres I've had and I've no issues with grip or traction in dry, wet or on wet grass - nothing too challenging attempted!

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will probably replace them with the same when needed. 2011 SD4 HSE Auto

Cheers for the advice - Pirelli Verde All Seasons it is for me

So I scoured the usual suspects on t'internet and surprise surprise Kwik Fit proving the cheapest - £116 per tyre. Being in the NHS we get 20% discount so I rang my nearest kwik-Fit. Nice chap, asked me straight away what the online price was and that despite a current 25% off offer on Pirellis he knew he couldn't beat it. Came back with a quote of £180 odd per tyre then told me to order them online and book it with them!

Hi guys.
I've got 17 inch factory fitted freelander alloys currently, can I fit 245/70/ R17 without any clearance issues as the factory standard size is 235/65 r17 .

Was hoping to fit some BFG or Cooper ST'S in this size.

Info and advice welcome.

Thanks
