SCRO approved winter tyres for 2018, which might be notionally helpful to someone.

Strange the BFG KO with no snowflake is on the list but the KO2, which carries the snowflake is not? Confused James

I states “Tyres specially design for winter use...”

Just seems a bit of an odd qualification to add, if general all terrain or mud terrain tyres can have similar cold weather performance


Edit: I think pretty much any manufacturer can slap a M+S symbol on their tyres, provided they claim it has better performance than a normal tyre.

However, to get the Alpine symbol requires objective testing and specific construction in line with UN regulations.

Maybe the stro are trying to impose some rigour, without insisting all tyres have the Alpine symbol? Or maybe this list is just out of date? Or they have different testing requirements?

The list is good for giving you an idea of what each manufacturer produces for the specific area

I'd be looking at what conditions you want to drive in first.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 covers just about any kind of driving conditions on European roads for the Defender at least.

With our up coming winter drive i've spent days reviewing the tyres available ( non studded ) and these come up tops everytime.

Doesn’t come in a Defender suited size I think. The LT2 however does.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
