Best 4x4 tyre replacement

Have you looked at Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Weather , My 2013 FL2 HSE SD4 has them. Factory fit I believe.  (18" Wheels)

Yes we have looked at the Pirellis and they do seem good.  However I've read reports of them not achieving good mileage for a Premium tyre. This has reinforced my own opinion of Pirellis as I've previously been disappointed on that score with their Cinturatos on a BMW.

I wish mine were only £540 for 4 ...... 

I've always used Goodyear Wranglers and they've been fine.

It’s what you’re expecting from them too. I run on Town & Country-General Grabber AT2’s. They were £560 supplied/fitted/ balanced. I can’t fault them for either on or off road, not over noisy at speed either👍🏻

What’s on there now, they’ve lasted 5 years for how many miles ? I’d consider the same again if I got 5 years and was happy with handling.

 I decided to try a budget tyre with the criteria that they must be  made in Europe after past experience on a second car (now gone) After a bit of research found a brand called Tigar SUV from Serbia, Michelin own the brand and have invested over $200M in the factory in 2014.

I could not find any real reviews of the tyre but decided to risk it and try a set at £77 each from ATS (again Michelin owned) They are not all season but are M&S rated in old school terms which is unusual for this size.

So far so good at 5000 miles in, very quiet and grippy in the wet. Not sure how they will wear but will keep an eye on it. I mostly visit CLs so soft ground performance is needed so far visits from Feb through to now have proved mud traction is ok to good, on the road they are quieter than original fit Bridgestones.

Always booted my CRV with Dunlop Grandtek ST30's, about £130/tyre fitted from Blackcircle.  Achieve close to 30k miles and that is with towing at least 80% of the time

Hi,

Just replaced all four tyres on my 2013 Freelander with Goodyear Wranglers from Blackcircle at a cost of £430.  Same tyres as those fitted from new with a mileage of 45000, 35000 of which would be towing.  Very pleased with new tyres as they are quieter than old ones which obviously were worn although ATS did say that they were still legal and would have done another 2 to 4 thousand miles but changed as coming away on a five week touring holiday with caravan.

Did consider the Avon’s but tyre fitter at ATS said that Goodyear’s were the better buy even when he knew he was not supplying but would be fitting.

very pleased with Blackcircle.

Thanks for all the replies so far.  Food for thought. The existing tyres are Goodyear Wranglers which have been on since new and covered 34k (mostly with the car's first owner). They are quite noisy on the road so hence my thoughts about changing manufacturer.  But it is a minefield so will give it a while before I make a final decision.
