At least you will be able to cut in what ever tread pattern you want |

I had been using Michelin Cross Climate's for the past two years and found them excellent but didn't wear as well as I had expected. The inside shoulders had worn significantly after 26k miles but generally a very good tyre especially in the wet. Never used in anger apart from towing a caravan across a grass field or a little beach combing |

I note that Volvo recommend this Noise Reducing Pirelli Scorpion Zero on the Volvo XC60.

Hi, did you get your tracking/suspension bushes checked when fitting the new set of tyres ![]() or you could be replacing them early again, if all is good they should wear even ![]() . |

That was my experience of the Pirelli Scorpion Verde in the non all-weather version. Changed to Vredestein Quatrac 5s and been happy ever since (now on my second set), with the first set having had two that did 51,000 miles and two that did 41,000 miles. The Quatracs come with the “three peaks and snowflake” symbol and have served me well on wet and sometimes snowy Highland roads. 2010 model year FL2 TD4e GS - now at 142,000 miles, 62,000 of them mine. Previously: ‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW ‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol ‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever! Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch) Series III SWB Diesel |

Times 2 on this. I had the same on my FL2 last month and had to get both lower suspension arms changed as the bushes were shot - tyres gone on the inside edge '000's of miles ahead of the rear tyres instead of about the same time ... serves me right for not getting the bushes checked when I last changed the tyres (or at least, getting a full alignment check which would have highlighted the issue) - the previous ones were a bit more worn on the inside but the tyres were at end of life anyway so I didn't pay enough attention. I'm on the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes now, out in the rain and roundabouts around Milton Keynes - helped by now having wheels all properly aligned - no complaints at all. 2009 Freelander 2 HSE... had an engine transplant and staying for the 200,000 mile mark - at least!! 2002 Jaguar XK8 Coupe... very different to the Freelander, just as pleasing for us! |

Opted for. The Michelin Latitude Cross from Costco in the end. Nice chunky look without too much compromise, and with what looks like twice the tread depth that the Cross Climates came with!
