I was recommended these Tyres by my fitter,who is a mate.
I was a bit sceptical to say the least.But as they were £40 per tyre cheaper than Pirelli Scorpions I wanted replacing, I had them fitted.
I have to say after 8000 miles I am more than happy.
Hardly any wear is showing.
Brilliant in the snow we had last year.
The car feels like its on rails.Much more confidence than the Pirellis.

These are my choice for summers. I have found them to be better than the Michelin Pilots they replaced. These are quieter, have loads more grip, so much so that I have not found the limit of their adhesion in the dry.
When you look in the mirror during heavy rain they throw out more spray - which in my book means they are moving more water off the road surface. This is confirmed on country roads with large/deep puddles - before I new I was "lifting off" - now I am never caught out and feel more secure.
Passengers have commented on the reduced road noise and comfort.
So far 30K miles and some life left yet - no reduction in grip felt either.
I will definitely buy these again.

These tyres were fitted new when I bought the car in early January. They replaced worn out Michelin Synchrones. Was not sure about getting budget tyres fitted for free and nearly paid the £75/tyre difference to get Land Rover recommended tyres fitted. Up to now I can't fault them. I have done a mixture of daily driving on dry, very wet and frosty roads including several two hour motorway journeys at 80+ mph. I also go shooting and they have handled all the muddy farm tracks, hill descent control and three point turns in five inches of slurry. I measured 9mm of tread when new. So far I can't fault them as I have never had any others and can get them for £75 fitted. Would definately buy them again.

Inherited a front set of brand new Accelera Alphas when I bought my Freelander 8 months ago and was forced to replace a set of very old rear Michelin's with the same tyre type. I'm glad I did because on the Freelander there seems to be little penalty in using a tyre that costs almost a quarter of the recommended Pirellis. The tyres are quiet and handle dry weather to the limit of the car. Having travelled through some miserable weather this autumn I was expecting poor results in the wet but have not witnessed any unusual or enexpected traits and surprisingly they work much better offroad than I've any right to expect. I would definitely buy them again for this car.

The Latitudes have performed reasonably well on / off road and in deep snow apart from poor wear. I still have two Michelin Synchrones on the front of the vehicle that have done twice the mileage and are only needing to be replaced because my tracking has been a bit out and they have worn on the insides (still loads of tread on the outsides). Conversely, the Latitudes have worn evenly but rapidly (they have also been on the front of the vehicle as I swap them around occasionally. Pretty expensive, but the Synchrones were aswell. Switching to Pirelli Scorpion STRs as I can't get Synchrones any more. Wouldn't choose Latitudes again as they're not good value for money and they look like regular car tyres (naff!). Real shame Michelin stopped making the Synchrone... GREAT all round tyre and looked good too.

Were fitted to a Freelander td4 diesel to replace original Synchrones which had covered 78k yes 78k miles.
The two Latitudes, fitted to the front were checked after 24hrs by the fitters due to extreme noise and pulling heavily to the nearside. The two tyres had to be fitted to the rear as driving was impossible. The road noise continued to be excessive and I was advised to "TURN UP THE VOLUME" on the radio!
They reached their wear limit after 11k miles!! Thank goodness.
Went over to Falken and never lokked back.
Incidentally Michelin to whom they were sent back under customer complaint said that they had been over-inflated and did not want to know....Buyer beware and be-warned
