Freelander 2 tyre profile
Discussion
Have a FL2 with 235/65x17 tyres
I am wanting some Cooper AT3 tyres and I can get either 235/65 or 235/70 and fancy the 70 as they will, to me, look better and fill the arches more.
Both tyres are the same speed rating but the 70 profile has a higher load rating.
At 70mph with the 70 profile I will be doing 72
Any thoughts as to which to get

Don't forget that your speedo will be reading over by as much as 10%, so at an indicated 70, you might really only be doing 65. By changing to a higher profile you will be correcting this to some degree.
I have considered doing something similar, but am vary of how insurance companies would view it, in the case of making a claim.
