Does anyone know what the factory fit tyre is on an SD4 please?

My first FL2 ('07) came with Michelin. My second ('10) with Goodyear. Between, I upgraded to genuine LR 18" alloys and they came with Pirelli Scorpions. No complaint against either
If LR are anything like their customers, they weigh up all of the options and go for the best deal of the day.
My opinion; proprietory brand tyres are all much of a muchness in UK, on road driving. Although, should I keep this one up until a tyre change is due. Michelin shades it for me next shod.

Hope this helps. Best Mike. Firenze Red XS TD4 01/2013 . Averaging 1800 miles per month. My 5th Freelander in 11 years. Devotee?

My scorpions are on 17,000 miles 3 mm left. very even wear across the tread or so my dealer said at last service. they phoned saying the tryes would not last another year, should they put new on  At work

GS and XS come standard with 17" wheels, as did SE
I have had 3 new FLs's all GS including current SD4 GS all have had Goodyear Wrangler.
All SE's and now XS come with Continental.
Talking only about 17" wheels it seems that 5 spoke GS always have Goodyear and 10 spoke SE and XS always have Continental.

2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone

At least they come with tyre brands youve heard of and not such things, as Sang Yongs and Fung Ko's  I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt.

2010 Freelander 2 XS Stornaway Grey
2010 Aston DBS Morning Frost
2010 Bentley Continental Brooklands Green

My SD4 HSE new last week has Pirelli Scorpion Zeros

Standard 18" wheels

Are they any good?

I had some Scorpions for about 4 months and they were very quiet compared to the previous Wranglers. Sideways grip in snow is supposed to be a bit suspect but I ran them through Yorkshires good downfalls with absolutely no problems at all, they were great in the snow. Only downside is the tread gap tends to pick up small stones so when you hear a tick tick tick check for stones first Got some Continental cross contact on my new HSE alloys which are even quieter still, but they don't look as 'meaty' as your Scorpions.

Edit picture below : Top Scorpions, bottom Conty Cross Contacts (More 'rounded' edges) both 18's.
