March 15, 2023
Sorry, generally we can't advise on size swaps, I'd recommend checking out a Caddy specific forum as someone has surely done it (maybe with a different tire!)
Can I use this tires for Land Rover Freelander 2004? 235/60 R16

As long as the Avon Ranger is made in the correct size and load rating for your vehicle there's no reason you can't use the Ranger.
Is the Avon Ranger for commercial vehicles? We have a VW Transporter 2013 High Top Auto Sleeper conversion and the gross wait fully loaded is a approximately 3500

We have the Ranger listed as an SUV tire but there's no reason you couldn't use it on a Transporter assuming you can find it in the correct size and a high enough load rating for your application.

they are on an old discovery only used on the farm on the south downs. the 85s are for the extra ground clearance, remoulds are cheaper on the farm amongst the sharp flints, i get good grip in bad conditions of road. Good compromise between road and rough terrain.
I drive a 2001 TD5 D2 with a 2 inch lift. I can not fault these tires for normal road use and occasions off road work. Very good in the snow and wet. I have been advised that using these tires for a trip to Moroco may not be a good idea due to them being a re tread.

These are a heavily treaded all terrain tire. They are designed for the rough, They came new with 12mm of tread, they are 3 peak mountain snow rated. They are the same pattern as BFG all terrain MK1 at a fraction of the price. I paid £60 each. They have seen snow, mud and heavy rain over the last 12 to 18 months. I live in the Welsh Hills. The roads are pretty poor. These tires are excellent. They grip in all conditions. They will push wide in the wet, but that's to be expected, they are not a high speed tire. They are relatively noisy compared to road biased tires, but not excessively. They don't make long journeys a drag. Fuel wise I have lost around 2mpg compared to the nexen Rodians that came on the Jeep. I have run them for 14 months and have lost 2mm tread. On motorway, and rural roads, back roads and off road tracks. They have a really stiff sidewall, they were hard to mount and had to be warmed to flex and be able to fit on the rim. However they balanced easily. Really good quality remould.
They started with over 12mm of tread, they are remoulds using the old bfg all terrain pattern, they are 3PMS snow rated. I have run them on motorway, back roads, snow, deep muddy fields and confirm, they defy all expectations of a remould. They balance well although are difficult to mount due to a really stiff sidewall. They are obviously noisy compared to a road tire, and slightly more than the Goodyear Wrangler AT that was originally fitted. Fuel economy has dropped only by 1 or 2 mpg. In snow they are strong and grippy, no squeal in rain, mud they just dig in, used recently to recover several cars bogged in at a camp site. I have run around 6000 miles, barely a mm has gone from tread.
i have run these on my range rover on and of road very happy with the results superb tire just a shame i cant get replacement anymore when i find a tire that fits my needs i like to stick with it
Just had 4x Avon Ranger Tires fitted, they suit my car very well with a good chunky tread. I will always fit Avon to any vehicle I own they are a very reliable tire.
I replaced my original fit tires on a 2liter Qashqai being pleased to find a British made tire. However although their were characteristics are great (35000 and still some left)after about the first 20000 miles they became extremely noisy at all speeds and different road surfaces. I checked with Avon Technical and the supplier but no explanation other than a vague reference to "constellating" and an invitation to replace them at my expense in order to return to Avon for testing and report. I decided to "live with it" until the next replacement (now coming up) but am reluctant to go the same way again.
I am playing around with tires to find the best for my Freelander and have found these to be as good as Continental All season tires, and even better on the bit of frosty tarmac we have just seen. A British made tire at least as good as the big name @ a fraction of the cost.
We have had Michelin, Good Year and Pirelli nothing matches these! No matter where we go what we pull the never seem to wear, this is our second set of Avon's and if were a bit late they will take corners surprisingly hard surprising us and others!!. Dry or wet they never let go! The side walls hold up well considering the disco ways 2.7 ton. It has never been stuck although we haven't really taken her off road properly the tires will cope with wet grass, messy mud ruts and snow! which is all we need really. They are very quiet long journeys are no problem 80-90 mph. Overall excellent think we have found a tire for life
This a update to my previous review, a year further on and the tires are still looking great very little wear showing after nearly 10.000 miles.
The heavy snow we had here in South Wales over the winter gave me a chance to chech these out in 4 wheel drive and they performed excellently......Highly recommended.
