Good point. I think the problem is that winter tyres last for 2 or 3 winters so most people will have little experience of changing to different brands.

I'd seen good reports about the Goodyears and have used various Goodyear tyres over the years and found them to be decent. Our Skoda currently has their OptiGrip tyre fitted all round. A decent tyre and actually did pretty well in snow a couple of years ago. I have no doubt that a dedicated Goodyear winter tyre would be a top performer. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Thank you guys,

I think I go for Michelin Latitude Diamaris. Anyone here who thinks I make a bad choice?

As oldcro says, make sure you have ordered the right tyres.......................

If you have gone for the Alpin thats fine for a winter tyre but the Latitude is NOT a winter tyre.

Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme is a very popular tyre, we have been selling and fitting these for many years, alkso worth a look is the Quadtrac 3, a very good all season tyre.  Please call us 01737 241370 for the quickest response

Thank you Mr ?,

I am looking to buy the best winter tyres in the world ), the best winter tyres for UK roads.

I am not paying myself, my boss is going to pay, this is why I want to find the best winter tyres.

Which one do you recomend as the best tyre for UK roads? I will be driving around London 3-4 hours per day and once a week going to France.

Thank you very much for your time.

I have got to decide today what winter tyres:

Number 1 is Scorpion ICE + SNOW 275/40 R20 106V XL RBL - Manufacture part number (sku): 1678900

Number 2 is Scorpion Winter 275/40 R20 106V XL Energiesparreifen - Manufacture part number (sku): 2180000

NUmber 3 is Latitude Alpin 275/40 R20 106V XL GRNX - Manufacture part number (sku): 717481 /|\

The LR approved winter tyres in 275/40/20 are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 suv and the Continental CrossContact Winter. Just in case you wanted to know. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I out on general grabber AT's last year and have found them to be absolutely fantastic in all conditions MY10 HSE 3.0 TDV6 : Santorini Black : Ebony Interior w/Anigre wood : Privacy Glass (total) : Sunroof : Sidesteps : Hybrid TV : Detachable Tow Kit : Spare Wheel Cover : 22" Dished Supersports

Almost very right and correct

I called LR and they said that the ONLY and ONLY approved winter tyres are Continental CrossContact Winter tyres and Michelins.

I decided and ordered the Continental CrossContact Winter from a local garage for £1,116.
LR asked for £379 per tyre

Thank you all.

VERDICT: best winter tyre does not exist

Get the one you are happy with but DO JOT GET THE WINTER MICHELINS.

Just ordered the Pirelli Ice and Snow 255/50R 19 107V. They will be fitted next week. Read good reviews on them with the only downside that they wear quickly. I guess the softer the rubber the better the grip but also the quicker wear. Will use them to go skiing every weekend in the French and Swiss Alps. Gone:
2010 Bali Blue, Reverse Camera, Winter Pack, Privacy Windows, Sunroof, Steel Tread Plates.

You don't NEED to fit winter tyres to an RRS, the Terrain Response works very well even on 20" wheels and tyres. I ran the length of the UK from Southampton to Stirling the day that Basingstoke got cut off from the rest of the UK on my 20" summer tyres and drove from Gretna to Stirling in up to 4" of the white stuff on the M74 without any incident, some of the "designer" SUV's (notably Q7's and X5's) were mostly stuck in it going nowhere because they were running high speed ULP road tyres.
I did run mine after that on winter tyres and also run my current Evoque on a set from October to March, but they are not a necessity in the UK 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
