Back to the OP with regards tyre pressures, I remember having a similar debate over different tyres for my sierra cosworth. Each manufacturer makes tyres differently and they therefore have different parameters within the overall speed, etc... rating of the tyre.

Some may have softer shoulders than others, I did find a calculator somewhere for figuring out the right pressure given a number of values, weight of the car, etc... but I can't remember where. Also finding the detailed parameters for each and every tyre was pretty difficult.

In other words, the LR recommended pressures are probably only really appropriate for the original fitment rubber, not just any old tyre. 

"Roads ? Where we're going there are no roads." Back to the future.

I went from Goddyear to Pirelli and agree, they are also much quieter and smoother  RRS 2010

the solution is to dump the Contis and get some Toyos instead. They show no signs of shoulder wear and I enjoy my roundabouts  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

To be honest, as long as its only cosmetic, it doesn't bother me.
If it starts to impart performance, then that's a different issue  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I had contis on all my sports, and lasted 5 k miles before showing signs of bald edges. Last time I changed to Scopions and 15000 miles later they still have 3-4 mm on them completely evenly. Contis are soft and give good grip but at 1000 a set. I prefer more mileage per pound. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

I have just sold my contis with 4-5mm @ 20k miles but the edges were feathered by 10k

My previous LR's have never needed tyres changed - 30k + and loads of tread left  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!
