Can anybody with Pirelli Verde tyres let me know what their opinion of them is please? Road noise is my main worry, are they ok or did you find them a bit noisy?

As winter was coming on I decided on Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres 235/55 R19 105V (Volvo, Extra Load, All Season)
I chose these V rating as they had a very good record for wet grip, and reasonable noise and MPG figures.

Sorry - doesnt answer the OPs question but I can concur ; Michelin Cross Climate 2 SUV are the quietest of all the tyres I have had on my three FL2s Jules

Just saw your post Devonjas,

I originally had Continentals from new…..as I remember we’re ok….
Replaced with Goodyear Wranglers ….ok as well….road noise wise ok….as I remember
Replaced with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R19 105V XL………noise seems ok but best thing is the wet road grip….very sure-footed…..much better than the G/Year.
I wanted to fit Scorpion Ice Tyres….had two sets on my previous D2 TD5……were marvellous in wet /ice/snow……but were just too expensive. Pity because they didn’t seem to wear any quicker than summer or all season tyres & weren’t any noisier. I’ll check price when I have to change present tyres next year.

The is for the replies. I will go for the Pirelli as I have been offered them at £129 a corner all inc which is a fair bit cheaper than the Michelin. And the feedback here hasn’t been too bad about them

I used several sets of the Pirelli Scorpion Verde on the four Freelanders I've had over the years.
Both 18" & 19" - I found them to be very good tyres overall.
I usually swapped them out for winter wheels and tyres, during the cold months.

I also didn’t get on with Pirelli Scorpion tyres. They went hard and showed signs of cracking between tread blocks at 3 years old. CrossClimate2 have been fitted for 18 months and are fine.

I have just bought a set of nearly new Continental Crossclimate tyres on nice rims for £100, they will do me 18'ies as well. If noisy, I will turn the radio up, best fix for all those transmission noises as well. I am going a bit deaf from the present tyres on the A47 old road and the pot holes too.

Do you mean Continental Crossclimate ?

Cross Climate is a Michelin tyre Jules

You are right Jules, thank you. All these frequent renaming of tyres is confusing. I have just had to move them to find something in my storage container. They are Jaguar wheels, so I think F-Pace. Better check that they fit. Another Ebay punt, perhaps gone wrong.
