My FL2 came with Contis fitted, but whilst cleaning it yesterday noticed that the spare is actually a Wrangler!

[quote="Gambba"]Gilfishman,

Was your car new or secondhand?

If secondhand how many miles has the car done, and did the dealer tell you that the tyres had only been replaced 3500 miles ago?

If new wouldn't you have seen that the tyres were worn and dirty...... [/quote]


It's a march 08 reg and shows 3,500 on the clock didnt realy notice at the time as they were painted with the shiney black tyer paint.It was bought from a land rover main dealer and had one pervious owner.

Jules, I got the car brand new with less than 10 miles on the clock, so seriously hope that the tyres weren't changed.......

It looks like the dealer has swapped your tyres for some worn items.I had the same problem when buying an ex demo Discovery a couple of years ago.I checked the car over and test drove and agreed to buy.The salesman then said it had to go through the workshop and have a valet.Luckily, before I handed over the cash, I checked the car again and noticed they had swopped over the wheels for some scratched ones, probably from the Land Rover Experience cars. Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

So which are consider best value - Contis or Wranglers?
I will no doubt need to replace mine in another few thousand miles, so can either remain with Contis and an odd Wrangler as the spare, or switch to Wranglers and have a full set of the same!
