Hi. Appreciate this has been done to death but things do change over time. 2013 L320 SDv6 on standard 20" rims. I run at 36psi on all four corners under advice from my Landrover/Range Rover specialist.

I had Grabber GT 275/40 R20 106 Y fitted a couple of years ago and have been very pleased with them. They run smoothly and quietly and feel secure on the road.

Not everyone wants Chinese ditch finders on their 2.5t SUVs, that's the problem. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Could you elaborate on why the pirelli is "crap" and which particular version of tyre as I have run them for years with no issues, also not sure the michelin would be the ideal choice for Scotland being a summer tyre, depending on where in Scotland the op lives I guess though . Cheers Col |

That Michelin is a tyre designed for sports cars allowing for occasional track use. Great on a true sports car but seems a bit overkill for a big old leany, floaty, heavy SUV.

My Volvo XC60 came with Pirelli PZero and they realy lasted. However they were unreliable in the turns, even in the dry. After changing to Michelin Pilot 4 it was suddenly a whole different car. It handled much better, more reliable/predictable and less cabin noise. Also the consumption went down with .3 liters/100 km. My previous and current RRS both came with Continentals: Fast and uneven wear. And so I changed to Michelin Pilot 4 again with the same drastic improvement. The only thing between the car and the road is the tire. Therefore don't try to safe money and only buy the best. SW Sometimes it is not enough to do our best; sometimes we must do what is required. 2005 RRS HSE 2.7 TDV6 Now: 2016 RRS HSE DYNAMIC 3.0 TDV6 Last edited by SkyWalker on Tue Jan 30 2024 4:42pm.

I’ve run the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV for a couple of years after a long time on OE Conti’s. Frankly, they are brilliant on the road. The thing I noticed is how easy they were to balance. Not the cheapest but, easily the best. Cheers,
