Best Performing All Weather Tyre for RRS

I have 20" alloys and do not know what is the best performing tyre available.
I have tried which.co.uk but they do not do larger tyres.
Any help?

By the way I am based in Dublin Ireland. 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE

Proper all weather / all season tyres are rare. Most 4x4/SUV tyres are marked as M&S but this doesn't mean they're all season, just that the grooves between the tread blocks are a bit bigger than normal tyres.

For true "all season" use, you're basically looking at the Pirelli Verde All Season:

This is the tyre that is being fitted by Land Rover to many of the new range of vehicles.

Some people, particularly on Disco3, run the Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme winter tyre all year and report that it's fine - I would think that it depends on your driving style though. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I don't like the idea of running winter tyres in the summer as they are a softer compound & wear out quicker,,I left my winters on a merc sprinter we used for mobile fitting over the summer & the hot Tarmac against the soft rubber just chewed them off in no time.

As I said, it probably depends on your driving style and use. For someone doing most of their miles up and down the motorway it'll probably make little difference - assuming the wheel alignment is ok. For someone driving around town, on twisty roads or, dare I say it, "making progress", the wear rate will be much more of an issue.

The Disco3 people who do this seem to find decent wear rates which suggests that they potter about or do big motorway miles. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Australia 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Bonatti Grey

Just fitted a set of Genuine 20" 2015 wheels and 255/55/20 Pirelli Verde All Season Tyres to my 2006 RRSs/c.
Having just completed a trip in Warm/Hot conditions (30c) they performed very well and are quite and smooth riding.
The only drawback ?? is the size of the tyre means that the speedo is under reading i.e. @ 100kph your actually doing 108kph Shocked
Terrific for fuel comsumption not so good for speeding fines. Overcame that by fitting a modern upto date GPS Whistle

You'll probably find the speedo is actually more accurate now, as they will over-read normally. Wink Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Just adding to my previous post on this matter.
Just did a 1600 klm round trip from Melbourne to Bathurst on the weekend on the Pirelli Verde All Season tyres.
They performed really well in different weather conditions on all types of reasonable surfaces including paddocks.
They were quite, except on the concrete sections of the Hume freeway in New South Wales, but that might be a problem for any tyre.

Someone commented that Bridgestone Dueller HP Sports are grippier on wet and dry road. GT are supposed to be the successors of UHP so no doubt that it's the better M+S tyre from General. I would personally be interested in a comparison with Pirellis Zero Assimetrico, over the disco3 website the feedback is that Pirellis are better than GTs.

Similar here. I got a set of 20" wheels from a 2014 RRS II with Michelin Alpin Latitude 255/55R20 110V tyres on them earlier in the year (good deal buying winter wheels in June!) and having just put them on my 2010 TDV8 have realised in hindsight they're "too big". All I'm really concerned about is the insurance aspect - I'll have a trip out with the GPS to do some speedo calibration, and they ride well and there's no rubbing at full lock or anything like that.

EDIT: For reference, after much searching and reading around all season tyres etc... I decided to just call my insurer (eSure) who had no issue at all with the slightly different tyre size provided the tyres had legal tread etc...
