In general, the Zero is designed for dry tarmac grip. Regards etc.,

Looks like the Zero might be a little quieter road noise, and a bit more fuel efficient looking at the ratings, slightly more expensive as well.

Cheers

£218.40 each for the pirelli scorpion verde is that a good deal

The Zero has sound deadening foam stuck on the inside of the tread area, and is the later version of the Scorpion 'family'.

Chances are the Verde tyres offered will be 3 or 4 years old.

As the Verde is quite an old specification tyre now, if the Zero AS is a relatively new design I'm inclined to think it will eventually replace the Verde as being what would appear to be a slightly higher spec. tyre anyway, so might be worth going for the Zero, but as I say only a guess.

The only slight issue I have with the All Season is that it isn't one, really, as it's not also 3MPSF-endorsed. It will be much better than most road tyres in winter conditions, yes, but if you need to go to places where 3MPSF is required, it doesn't help.

If winter rating isn't an issue, the Zero All Season is LR homologated so should work well with the vehicle. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

If you can still find new Verdes, they should be £100 or so cheaper than the Zeros, and with very little noticeable real life differences, a better buy.

The Pirelli Scorpion family were initially designed and produced specifically to meet LRs specification, and, for my money, are head and shoulders above other similar spec brands for vehicles of this weight.

The problem with Pirelli is that they randomly change what tyres they make in various sizes. The ATR and the AT+, for example, used to be available in LR sizes but not any longer - at least in the UK. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

On occasions in the UK I bought unfitted one's here from Camsikill always found their prices competitive, of course you have to add the fitting charge, but not all places will fit customer supplied either.
