Hello and welcome from Freel2.com (thanks for plaque mounts)! I run my G4 F2 on MTRs and they are excellent on and offroad. You might struggle to get them in correct size though.

I´m sorry!!! I mean GYWrangler MT. Free2 G4 had MT but I think this tires destroy the car!

Free2 is not an offroad car and this tires are for offroad.

So I am in doubt....

I´ll be very glad when someone puts video of Free2 including GoodYear MT!

I would like to see how they works.



It is impossible to find something form Mongolia Recce or something like that.

Unfortunately only Discoveries and RR.

Hi moon 13,



Both stu007 and I have Mongolian recce F2's that we run on Goodyear MTR's. We do not have any issues with the tyres and would not change to another type. If you can get hold of these tyres you will not be disappointed.

Moon13,



There are a few videos on the Internet with the F2s in Mongolia doing what they do with MTRs!! And as mole says they are a good tyre.

You are right, they are good... but I thik in case of harder terrain the Freelander is going destroy.

It is my opinion.

I´m sorry but I didn´t find any video where is freelander... let me know! Thanks

I have swapped from 18" Goodyear "standard" to 17" Mud terrain tyres, with a change of wheels.

On standard tyres the FL2 can be chucked around on wet/dry tarmac in a very sporting manner.  Good on slippery surfaces (wet grass), and in deep snow as long as there is more than 3mm of tread left. OK in mud up to a point, not in the same league as the MT in deeper mud or loose shale.

The MT are good on dry tarmac, and OK on greasy roads.  They cannot be provoked to aquaplane, but they do make a noise. The MT have lost 3mpg off the fuel economy.  The MT do not seem to self center at speed as well as the standard tyres, ie can be twitchy at autobahn speeds, but fine at 70mph.

As I do enjoy driving off road the MT suit my driving. They also give the car a more purposeful look.

Will not be going back to standard tyres when the weather gets warmer - that says it all for me.
