The only thing "rubbing" related I've had is on the front with full lock right turn and always reversing, but never really been a problem, I'm just aware.

That's interesting about rubber density, I really didn't consider that.

I would hope that the density of the rubber in a tyre made in a well regulated mass production process would be consistent beyond the ability for it to alter enough to upset wheel balance with a bit of wear. Given that off road tyres are more roughly used than road tyres (hence the name and if you aren’t using them off road what a waste) I’d guess that changes in balance are more down to missing bits of tyre or bits of gravel wedged deep into sipes. |

I can say what ever it is, sadly it's not just gravel and small stones.

At the time they were not available in the size I needed without swapping the wheels too (. 255/55 R19 )

I've just fitted Avon AX7 ATs 255/55 r18 (235/60 r18 are usually standard on mine) and I've had no issues of rubbing, both on-road and off-road. BTW they performed very well on the off-road trail at the Simply Land Rover meet at Beaulieu. -------------------------------------------------------------

This will be considered a modification by your insurance company and it could easily attract a substantial increase in premium.

A change of wheel type to another Freelander 2 wheel of different size is different to prove as a modification. However a change in tyre size to an non factory size is considered a modification, so the insurance company should be informed, which may incur an additional premium. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate.

Been running 255/55x19 Michelin all season tyres for two years no issues only improvements in grip and looks much better |

My last Freelander 2 came with 255/60 r18’s, in place of the standard 235/60 r18’s and they seemed okay.
