United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Firenze Red

My first FL2 ('07) came with Michelin. My second ('10) with Goodyear. Between, I upgraded to genuine LR 18" alloys and they came with Pirelli Scorpions. No complaint against either
If LR are anything like their customers, they weigh up all of the options and go for the best deal of the day.
My opinion; proprietory brand tyres are all much of a muchness in UK, on road driving. Although, should I keep this one up until a tyre change is due. Michelin shades it for me next shod.

Hope this helps. Best Mike. Firenze Red XS TD4 01/2013 . Averaging 1800 miles per month. My 5th Freelander in 11 years. Devotee?

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Fuji White

GS and XS come standard with 17" wheels, as did SE
I have had 3 new FLs's all GS including current SD4 GS all have had Goodyear Wrangler.
All SE's and now XS come with Continental.
Talking only about 17" wheels it seems that 5 spoke GS always have Goodyear and 10 spoke SE and XS always have Continental.

18" and 19" I do not know. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

If I were a betting man, I would put my money on the HSE fitted with the standard HSE wheels having Good Year Wranglers fitted, if it was a lesser model with with upgraded wheels to 18" (Iffy's) then the chances are they will be Pirrelli Scorpions, 19" wheels normally tend to have Continental Cross Contacts.

The Wranglers though are a better wearing tyre IMHO and give better grip in the winter than the others, again IMHO. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

At least they come with tyre brands youve heard of and not such things, as Sang Yongs and Fung Ko's Rolling Eyes I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt.

England 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

I had some Scorpions for about 4 months and they were very quiet compared to the previous Wranglers. Sideways grip in snow is supposed to be a bit suspect but I ran them through Yorkshires good downfalls with absolutely no problems at all, they were great in the snow. Only downside is the tread gap tends to pick up small stones so when you hear a tick tick tick check for stones first Thumbs Up Got some Continental cross contact on my new HSE alloys which are even quieter still, but they don't look as 'meaty' as your Scorpions.

Edit picture below : Top Scorpions, bottom Conty Cross Contacts (More 'rounded' edges) both 18's.
