what all season tyres for discovery 4?

[petemurphy]

Hi,

I have a discovery 4 thats needing a tyre refresh.

The current ones whilst fine on the road struggled with the snow and ice this year so would like a little more grip but dont have the room or inclination to keep 2 sets of tyres.

currently has pirelli scorpian zero 255/50/r20

I do a mixture of mainly country pot holed roads, and main roads, motorway. I don't do any off roading ( sshhh ) but am often in a field for parking for various country events so they do need to deal with some mud.

Thoughts on what ones would be best? also wheres best to buy them am in oxfordshire if it makes a difference.

Thanks

hmmm just found out my current tyres are summer tyres that may explain a lot! theyre scorpion zeros..

whats the difference between scorpion zero all season and scorpion verde all season anyone?

thanks

Bump for some further thoughts...

I'm in a similar boat to the OP, with a bit more towing in mud involved. Much as I like the idea of a full AT tyre the compromises on road aren't worth it IMO. Looking at this: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2018-Auto-Bil... the AT3 is significantly worse than the more road biased tyres (unsurprisingly...) in almost all circumstances but particularly the wet.

I'm currently running Goodyear Ultragrip performance SUV winter tyres and haven't found them wanting, even off road where I did a trial and got as far as any other LWB landy. But I know the dry/wet on road grip is compromised.

I'm eyeing up the Quatrac 5. Or sticking with what I have.

i went for the pirelli all season in the end - mainly as i need them for wet road driving like today! would have liked the look of some chunkier ones but new range rovers come with pirellis so there must be a reason!
