Land Rover Discovery 3 tyres

Interesting to read the answer to the LR Discovery tyres question....

My D3 was factory fitted with Pirelli Scorpion P zero M&S tyres.
I've had the tyres changed twice now, first time at approx. 28k for another set of P Zeros, then at approx. 59k for a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATRs.

I've read that the ATRs should be good for 40k+ miles so looking forwad to a few more miles. Personal experience with the ATRs so far is excellent, on road and off in mud and snow and ice, and the alps over Christmas.

An excellent tyre and choice/recommendation for the D3.

Thanks for confirming. Must be why LandRover fits them to the test fleet.
