2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Fuji White

Range Rover Tyres

Hi Guys,

Rather annoyingly I have a nail in the front tyre of the wifes Rangie L322 currently Pirelli Scorpion Zero they were nearly worn out so I think I will replace rather than repair. They have seem to worn out quite quickly and they are pricey best quote is £142.00 per corner fitted.

What's people view on other makes, I've had Generals UHP before but keen to get any feedback on other tyres.

Cheers

C

Everybody says General grabber At are very good.

2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

A few years ago I had a V6 Touareg which ate tyres, being 19inch there wasn't a massive selection at the time. It devoured sets of Brisgestone Potenza, Pirelli P Zero, Michelin Latitudes and the final set I got the most mile out of were Goodyear Wrangler F1

Have you had a look here to see what's being said about tyres for a Range Rover? http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyres_For/Land-Rover/

Come to think about it I originally had 18 inch wheels on it and they were fitted with Goodyear wranglers on the car I assumed they were standard fit back in 2004 when the car was new. I then changed the alloys for 19's and inherited a set of Pirelli Scorpion Zero's

I think LR changed their standard fit to Pirelli Scorpion's somewhere around 2005 etc..

Had Scorpions on the D3 and got about 11k out of them <- Rubbish tyre on a heavy car

Then has 2 sets of Gen UHP each lasted about 24k only pain was being directional for swapping about, very road biased.

Got Goodyear Wranglers on the D4 showing some wear at 10k but only on front shoulders <- these seem like very good tyres to me and would get these again

Well as ever all the bills seem to come in at once so I think I am going budget tyre route to get through its MOT and see how we go.

On a budget those UHPs are hard to beat
