At least you will be able to cut in what ever tread pattern you want Common sense isn't very common.

I had been using Michelin Cross Climate's for the past two years and found them excellent but didn't wear as well as I had expected. The inside shoulders had worn significantly after 26k miles but generally a very good tyre especially in the wet. Never used in anger apart from towing a caravan across a grass field or a little beach combing but would definitely go back to them. The spare was a brand new Pirelli Scorpion Zero so decided to buy 3 more and use a cross climate as the spare. The Zero's get a good rating as well so will see how they go with towing but in our climate in NI don't expect harsh Scottish winters |

I note that Volvo recommend this Noise Reducing Pirelli Scorpion Zero on the Volvo XC60.

Hi, did you get your tracking/suspension bushes checked when fitting the new set of tyres or you could be replacing them early again, if all is good they should wear even . my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars! But its now gone way up Norf |

That was my experience of the Pirelli Scorpion Verde in the non all-weather version. Changed to Vredestein Quatrac 5s and been happy ever since (now on my second set), with the first set having had two that did 51,000 miles and two that did 41,000 miles. The Quatracs come with the “three peaks and snowflake” symbol and have served me well on wet and sometimes snowy Highland roads. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto Previously: 2010 MY FL2 TD4e GS - Now gone at 199,500 miles, about 135,000 of them mine. ‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW ‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol ‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever! Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch) Series III SWB Diesel |

Times 2 on this. I had the same on my FL2 last month and had to get both lower suspension arms changed as the bushes were shot - tyres gone on the inside edge '000's of miles ahead of the rear tyres instead of about the same time ... serves me right for not getting the bushes checked when I last changed the tyres (or at least, getting a full alignment check which would have highlighted the issue) - the previous ones were a bit more worn on the inside but the tyres were at end of life anyway so I didn't pay enough attention. I'm on the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes now, out in the rain and roundabouts around Milton Keynes - helped by now having wheels all properly aligned - no complaints at all. Lexus RX450H - 500 mile a week commuter- I just couldn’t trust in a newer RRS or DS for that…. 2009 Freelander 2 HSE... 155K miles, we’ve done 135k of those, has done brilliantly on the commute and staying firmly put as car two in the household 2002 Jaguar XK8 Coupe... fun, fast, ours for 12 years and owes us nothing - so staying with us too… |

Opted for. The Michelin Latitude Cross from Costco in the end. Nice chunky look without too much compromise, and with what looks like twice the tread depth that the Cross Climates came with!
