Mud and snow is just a geometry thing, not a specific performance indicator in the way that a "proper" winter tyre is (the snowflake and mountain symbol):

Not driving the RRS as a sport car, but I put summer tyres in summer and winter tyres in winter, the extra safety make it worth the "hassle".

I decided on winter tyres last winter becuase the RRS was new to me and I really didn't want to plant it in a hedge (a common sight in snowy conditions is 4x4 on summer tyres sat in hedges because their drivers forgot about physics) or, worse still, be sitting there going nowhere in snow

Had opportunity today to test my new 20" Pirelli M+S tyres in snow - totally useless

My Vredestein's were brilliant in 4" of snow today, (20's) even when pushed to the limit, more than capable, highly recommend. |

Had a play today in the work car park. Got a nice little bit of oversteer with a good bit of steering and throttle to get it moving.

M+S tyres should be great all year round; I had Grabber AT's on my Disco 4 and they were very good. But...noisy and used more fuel...

There are quite a few members on Disco3 forum who are running Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme tyres year round and claim to be getting around 40K miles to a set.........in contrast to the Scorpion Zeros which usually go by about 15K. 12MY RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux Sumatra / Black + contrast/ Grand Black
