3.0 Sport Tyres

Just wondering what tyres other than the Pirellis anyone has tried on their Sport. I find the road noise on the 21" Pirellis a bit much and was wondering if anyone has tried anything else that are a bit quieter. 2008 Factory HST- Sold
Arrived 2016 HSE carpathian grey

Mine are Michelin latitudes on 20" rims, which I deliberately specced!

Quiet is bliss................ and also very progressive when they break away. MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

On my 22inch rims I have Continental CrossContact LX Sport 275/40/22. They came as standard on the car.

They contain Conti-silent technology which is a layer of foam on the inside of the tyre to reduce noise.

Tyres seem pretty good so far. 2016 Range Rover Sport SDV8 HSE Dynamic (Indus Silver/Santorini Black Pano Roof, Ebony/Cirrus leather, custom grey Style 508 alloys)

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I have the same setup as DrFox on my L494 and was not happy with Conti's based on previous noise and excessive wear experience, so far they have been as quiet (despite being bigger than any tyres I have had on any previous car) and so far in almost 10,000 miles on and off-road motoring no signs of wear. The best 20" tyres I have had on an RRS were the Pirelli's that were fitted on the TDV8 RRS, even after 28000 miles they had worn very evenly and were down to about 6mm all round. I had 20" Michelin Latitudes on my 2nd Evoque, they were quiet and in 12 months/8000 miles on and off-road use they looked unused 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Australia 2013 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Lux Java Black

I had the same Continentals on my SDV8 DrFox and had to replace all 5 tires after 4 days on Fraser Island, The first popped on a inland track and the other 4 had stress fractures,
I now have coopers which have a slightly larger side wall but have been fine offroad and ok onroad.

The Continental CrossContact LX Sport tyres are a road tyre and for "light" off-road use.

I am not surprised they didn't perform well on Fraser island, especially with such a low profile. 2016 Range Rover Sport SDV8 HSE Dynamic (Indus Silver/Santorini Black Pano Roof, Ebony/Cirrus leather, custom grey Style 508 alloys)
