Tyrer banks

Can you recommend a brand of replacement tyres for my Freelander – 51,000 miles on the clock - most long journeys to and from the Scottish Highlands from our home in Lincolnshire, often towing a fully laden trailer. Present tyres are 235/65 R17 104V Continentals

Pirelli Scorpions. Relatively quiet on the motorway. Yet good off road in the mud.
