Tyre advice required please

1 rear tyre either has leak or slow puncture. Tread apx 4mm now. Looking to replace rears only, if possible. All tyres are Scorpion Zero. Handbook advises change in pairs - do members concur I can change rears only? Best price fitted at present is National Tyres or Formula One , fitted balanced etc £116 each (for Scorpion Zero).

thanks

depends on the tread depth of the good rear tyre I guess. 1 or 2 mm shouldn't make that much difference I don't think.

but if they are 4mm as you say then there will be about a 5mm difference with the new one.

change both especially at that price... I like Scorpion Zero and the Verde all season are even better IMO

I have just replaced all four Pirelli Scorpion Zeros with Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season. Instantly car is smoother to drive and fuel economy appears better.

Thank you, if I put a pair of Verde on rear I could keep the zeros on the front?

Simple answer , Yes you can . The Freelander 2 is not a " real" full time 4x4 . As it is predominantly a front wheel drive biased vehicle with the Haldex cutting in to transfer more power to the rear in certain conditions fitting an "Axle Pair " will not be a problem. The difference between the worn and unworn tyres will not cause you any issues like they can in a Subaru or a " real" Quattro ( not the pretend haldex Audis Laughing ) . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Thank you for the information - now looking at Verde all season, appears that there are 2 different compounds B C 71 and C C 71

I know it probably chnges all the time but last time I bought tyres (about 4 months ago ) blackcircles had the best deals and more places that would fit them. I have noticed that a few of the places near me that used to fit Asdatyres don't do it any more. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
