Seeking advice from you experienced people out there.
My Freelander (2001 model) is currently running on Michelin Syncrone P225/55R17 and I have been told the tyres are 8 years old and the vehicle has done 87000k's and I find that amazing. The tyres have just about had it and I need to replace them sometime soon.
I have had these quotes from the local JAX dealer here in Lake Macquarie.
1) Maxxis $230 each.
2) Bridgestone $260 each.
3) Michelin $330 each.
I very rarely go off road and as you can see from the tyres on the vehicle at the moment, it has been set up for maximum comfort on road. ( I bought the vehicle for purposes other than heavy duty off roading).
Can anybody advise on a good tyre (I think the Synchrones would be hard to beat) and also a good price? :confused::confused:
