Just a quick poll to see who runs a/t or road tyres , thought it might be interesting to see how many of us opt for a/t

I'm on Goodyear wrangler A/T SA

both my FL1 I ran on GG A/T2
my first FL2 was on GG UHP
2nd was on GG A/T
3rd is on brand new Pirelli Zero's fitted by the dealer before I bought it


which option do I tick ?

My 19" alloy have Continental Cross Contact which are Mud & Snow rated! The 22" alloys have Pirelli Scorpian Zero's that are also Mud & Snow rated! Very happy with both tyres  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

I though the Scorpion Zero's were summer tyre only ??? don't think mine are marked as M&S so I may have to go outside and check

They were a new tyre when I got mine! They were not advertised as M+S but as they were my summer rims I was not bothered to be honest! Obviously it's a bonus that they are.

I know its brand new but don't think its a Pirelli, no idea if its a Muck & tyre though

Cooper Zeon LTZs in 285/50/20 ..... classed as a 'Sports AT', therefore good both on and off road.

 FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Had to vote "winter" as there's no option for "all season".

Anyway:-
Nokian Weatherproof on the front.
Pirelli Scorpion Verde on rear.

Nokian weatherproof all round since mid November- very impressed so far very good in the wet and dry not bad on wet grass but no snow so far this year

I've winters on at the mo,Pirrelli Scorpion ice and snow, fitted to a set of Evoque 19" wheels. Typically the temperature has stayed above 10 degrees apart from the day I swapped the wheels over.

Are M & S branded tyres classed as summer, winter or all season tyres ?

"What are �M+S� tyres?
�M+S� tyres, or Mud and Snow tyres, have been specially designed to improve your car�s performance in mud and fresh or melting snow. �M+S� relates to the tyre�s tread design which generally has solid grooves and/or the tread blocks are spaced further apart than those on standard tyres. Some �M+S� tyres are also all-season tyres, suitable for all year round, however their performance is not as high as designated summer tyres in hot weather or Cold Weather tyres in cold weather. Not all Mud and Snow tyres have been tested as Cold Weather tyres. On the other hand, all Cold Weather tyres carry the M+S mark."

So it's about as clear as erm Mud?!


I'm on Nokian Weatherproof all round as it saves any confusion!! Been on since the end of October and so far seem to be doing the job. Still waiting for any snow but if they guarantee we don't get any that's fine by me as people round here panic if someone spills white paint on the road!! FL No 1 - 2012 (MY2011) XS manual Firenze Red - Gone
FL No 2 - 2012 (MY2012) XS manual Barolo Black - SWMBO wanted one too!
FL No 3 -2013 XS SD4 Auto Santorini Black
Series III SWB Hardtop - long gone
110 CSW V8 - long gone
Discovery 1 200Tdi - long gone

I'm curious as the Nokian Weatherproof is a directional tyre, what do people have as a spare?
