Bridgestone HTs were ok on mine - when they wore out I got a set of cheap 16" rims and put BFG ATs on - these were great.
We currently have Michelin 195/80 R15 XPC tyres on our Freelander 1 that are needing replacement. Unfortunately they are no longer sold in Australia.
What tyres have people found suit best a Freelander 1 that is used on 50/50 gravel & bitumen roads & wet grass?

Thanks Garrycol for your prompt response.
Did the 16" rims alter the speedo much?
Our cars speedo over reads by 5km/h on the 15" rims.

The 15" tyres are a high profile tyre so there should be no change when you go to 16" rims with a lower profile - however I wanted more ground clearance so went to a 225 wide BFG so my speedo did change - but if you went to a narrower tyre there should not be much change.

have bridgestone ats on my td4 am running the 16 inch rims though got about 60000 out of them fantastic of road and in snow also run them on my patrol have a cheep set of 16 on a V6 i just bought thats one reason i got it for tyers as the td4s are almost done
Thanks Entilzh. Unfortunately I can't upgrade to 16" rims at the moment. It would definitely allow more options of the tread patterns available.
Has anyone changed the size to 225/70 R15?
The circumference is very close to the original 195/80 R15.
