Just wondering who did the alignment check for you and what system did they use?

If it's both tyres on the outside it's one of three things:
Alignment (too much toe-in/not enough toe-out)
Something slack in the steering allowing the wheels to move independently, although that should be checked as part of alignment
Enthusiastic cornering - the FL2 is basically a front-wheel-drive car and they always get a bit of tyre wear at the outer edges if driven hard.

If alignment's been done it's probably the third of these (as Boxbrownie said). 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.

I always thought people were kidding when they said taking corners too fast would cause that kind of wear. I'm probably guilty of that and also have the wear! Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

If you want to see how to feather the outside edges of your tyres, copy this example.

FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 76k+ miles) (MY2015)

Been discussed before. http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic29205.html

If wheel alignment done, full 4 wheel, just due to heavy cornering.

Rotating tyres seems to be the way to mitigate Andy
Freelander2 HSE (59 Plate, MY10 spec)

Our later Fl2 (MY2014) doesnt seem to roll in corners as much as our previous ones . I dont know if its because they put some of the Evoque suspension (struts maybe ?) on it during the models last days or its due to the 19" wheels and lower profile tyres. Jules

trolley, How many miles have your front tyres done?

Just beware that swapping 'wedged' front tyres to the rear will cause droning due to the difference in diameters across the tyre width which is probably why LR don't recommend rotating tyres.

It's funny that you mention that, when I changed my last FL2 MY11 for my current MY14 XS I immediately thought that it felt different and slightly firmer somehow. I am on 17" wheels with identical tyres to previous FL2.
