My 19's are shod with Continental Cross Contact UHPs. Primarily a road tyre but good enough for most situations. Especially as the Freelander 2 Terrain Response system will get you out of most situations if you let it. Just don't Rev it too much & let the electronics do their job. |

Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres here. Excellent in dry and wet conditions and quiet on the road too. |

I've been looking at the Pirelli Scorpion verde all season and reading the reviews, people either rate or slate and the same with the Michelins too, and tha conti cross contact also. Why isn't it as straight cut as it used to be!!!!! |

The Pirelli Verde rates well in both economy and grip and is a premium tyre. What's not to like?

I have Pirelli Scorpion Verde on mine, have had them around 6 months, initially they were very quiet, of late they seem noisy?

Weird. My experience is exactly the opposite. I find the Verdes streets ahead of my old Conti Cross Contacts in every department. Ain't subjectivity great? 😆 |

I've got Goodyear wrangler all weather on my Freelander and my wife has General Grabber AT's on hers . The Goodyears are more road biased than the Generals whereas they are softer riding with more bodyroll. When I come to replace my tyres it will be with Goodyears again , but I do like the chunky look the grabbers give the Fl2 .

Yes, that is a good point, mine are the 'all season' derivative. |

Aaaaah now we could be getting somewhere then, I was looking at the "all season" but when you looked at the review sites the same answers and same people's reviews came up for both Verde and Verde all season, that kinda makes sense with the conflicting reviews then, thanks for clearing that up. |

I used to get 30,000 miles out of a set of Pirelli Scorpion STRs on my old D2. That was changing the tyres as they dropped below 4mm and deffo by 3mm. |
