Fitted as standard equipment on many Evoques. Fitted a new set on mine 18 months ago. Been absolutely fine with them apart from getting an unrepairable puncture on one of them after less than 300 miles. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

The Scorpion Verde All Season are my preferred tyre and caused me no trouble at all and lasted longer than the original Continentals. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

That is a good price for the set. I had the scorpion verde set and after 34000 miles one of the tyre broke the side wall so I replaced with a new set of Michelin cross climate.

Thanks for the detail too. It's certainly a point to consider. On BlackCircles with an offer code, the set of 4 comes to £527.92, close, but still with a wedding this year every penny is counting.

Dakers,
https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=176 Based on this I checked to see where my Pirelli's were being made and I checked where the tires that Tire Rack had been tested were made. The Pirelli's that I bought were made in the U.K. and I think that the ones that the tire rack was unhappy with were made somewhere else (not in the UK or Italy). So I took a chance made my purchase and I've been very happy. Having said all of that Pirelli has also introduced a + version Origional - Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season New version - Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus I looked at the + version and I didn't get it because its not as good in the rain (longer life, less rolling resistance and worse in the rain) Overall I've been very happy with mine Good Luck Paul |

Just for an update I had the Cross Climates fitted this morning. In the end managed to get the price difference down to less than £60 between those and the Scorpion Verde All Season, and decided it was close enough to make the jump. |

Had the CrossClimate on my Subaru Forester - would have happily replaced with the same when the time came, but sold it in the meantime. Good all rounder in my opinion and at the time scored well in reviews. Got a deal with Black Circles and triple? Tesco points which worked out about £25 I believe |

What actually is the factory fitted tyres on a Freelander, or do they differ between models? If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Interesting the difference between the objective and subjective scores, particularly the two elk tests versus the “handling” figure. I never felt confident with the Verdes on the front (I tended to get random “Oh !” understeer moments on bends) and replacing these (I chose Vredestein Quatracs) transformed it immediately. All the tests seem to say that Verde should be much better than it actually feels! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

I haven't driven on the roads in the U.K. (Passenger yes, but Driver no) so it is difficult for me to know for sure that what I am about to write is valid.
