Since putting on my freelander 2 would never put any other tire on, good general performance and excellet wear.

What drivers say about their 265/75 R18 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
In order to get even reasonable fuel mileage with these tires, a minimum of 60psi are required, making these tires brutally rough over even the smallest bumps in the road. They grip like glue in dry and wet weather, but sadly I have not had a chance to take them offroad since I got them installed in replacement of the noisy Goodyear Wrangler OEM tires that came on my 2019 GMC AT4. On a smooth highway, these tires disappear and are a dream to drive on. But once the bumps start - things get rough. These are load range E tires, and the high pressures are normal and they love a heavy load, but man you pay a price in rough road comfort. I will probably not buy these again. but instead opt for a load range C tire that can handle lower pressures and swallow up the bumps a bit better.
I used Nokian tires on my Ford F-150 for several years now. In summer I used the Rotiiva and found them to be excellent for handling on rain-slicked pavement and on gravel roads. In winter I have a dedicated set of winter tires on steel rims for our brutal cold, snowy winters in Manitoba, Canada. For winter I have been using the Hakkapeliitta. The Hakkapeliitta tires are the best winter tires I have ever had. Even though the tread looks more like a summer tire, the softness of the rubber gives excellent traction in deep snow and slush and even on ice.
I just put on a set of Nokian Outpost tires for the upcoming season. I am on back country roads for the forestry work I do, and these tires provide that extra bit of confidence on forestry roads which are less than ideal (i.e I would never take a 2 wheel drive vehicle on them even in summer). Yet the tires are extremely quiet on dry pavement, and they don't tend to allow the vehicle to 'wander' on loose gravel roads. The engineers at Nokian knew what they were doing when they designed the tread sipes on this tire. I love the lugs that wrap over the sidewall for a bit of extra traction when the going gets rough!!!! Great work Nokian!!!!!!

About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
