I'm running Pirelli ATR. Great on the road etc, but I'm keen to get slightly more aggressive tread for off road. They have done well thus far, just adjust my pressures and use technique. Due to my location I have no data on snow performance. MY11 SD4 SE Auto |

First, don’t underestimate your FL2 when running on standard road tyres. Land Rover Experience run all their vehicles on the tyre they came with, straight out the factory - and they don’t get stuck!

I had latitude cross before the grabbers and tyre wear was not good not a lot of mileage from them |

How about shopping around for a cheap set of 17" FL2 alloys already fitted with part worn winter or all-season tyres to run in the colder months? There are plenty around on ebay and gumtree at the moment for the same money (or substantially less) than what you'd have to pay for a new set of Michelins or Pirellis.

Thanks for all the responses, lots of valid points for me to consider. I’ll keep an eye out on eBay for some spare wheels. I need to get a spare wheel for the boot anyway. |

Bog standard Pirelli Scorpion 🦂 ATR . Will handle anything you are likely to do in the U.K. in a car That you care about . Twice in the last month I’ve hauled the FL2 out of treacherous mud ( crossing ploughed field With ruts that were scary deep)? . They are more than good enough for snow , I’ve used the brand and type for 8 years . like you inaccess our propert on an unmade track. They are also as quiet as a road tyre , steer well , handle the wet at sensible speeds for the size of the car . The new tread pattern is cool looking if that matters , and they have a good rim protection bead . Proper things . I’ve got the dogs |

Im running Nokian Weatherproof - have been fine all summer - very good in the wet (A rated wet performance) which we get a lot of. Just waiting for the snow to arrive.

They might not get stuck, but they don't always stop very well though. My recently purchased FL2 had 2x new budget tyres and 2x worn Scorpion all seasons. I decided to match the new budget tyres with another two, as I have seen reviews that rate my budget tyres rating as being quite acceptable, and I already own another car with a set of winter wheels if the LR2 is no good in the snow or ice.

GG AT3 great on long motorway trips and equally as good on my lanes and fields.

How severe is the off road driving you need to do?
