Sorry to put up another tyre related question but for the SVR on 22" Wheels whats the difference between the tyres fitted as standard and the ones you can spec for free called Summer tyres under options ?

LR usually fit All Season tyres for all year compromise. The Summer tyre option is just that, a summer tyre giving better grip in warmer, drier conditions. Effectively it's a sporty tyre option. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

If your SVR is on 22's then they only fit 295/40r22's & you haven't got much choice in tyres as you can only get Conti's or a budget tyre.

unless you put 285/35r22's but then only Pirelli

or a all season tyre would be

or go to 275/40r22's & you have a even wider range of tyre

Thanks it’s for a new order it doesn’t specify the brand for either option but on my build sheet it has the summer tyres which I didn’t specifically ask for.

Trying to figure out if I should be asking for the standard tyres or summer tyres.

I specced my SVR with all season tyres. As i use mine mainly in Europe the M+S tyres make mine legal all year round.

Thanks I think the summer tyres will be ok for me in the UK I don’t expect to goto Europe in winter. Would be helpful if what tyres you were getting was mentioned though.

Have you tried asking the dealer? I know it's a long shot but they might be able to help.

I can't believe I wrote that...! 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

How many SVRs will be taken off road? Almost no standard RRSs go off road. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I got mine stuck in a potato field 2 years ago, it took a fwd tractor to tow me out,
I felt a right idiot

The M&S won't cover you legally in the mountains. You must have a tyre showing the snowflake.

Our son and family live close to Geneva on the French side of the border. we visit regularly including the winter. My experience is that in snowy conditions going up and down steep slopes on anything other than full winter tyres can be a nightmare hence I have a set of wheels and tyres for winter use. FWD doesn't improve the grip of the tyre on the road, it assists traction. All the locals switch to full winter tyres. Whilst not a legal requirement my son tells me that insurance companies in France are very difficult with claims where in an accident and a suitable tyre for the conditions is not fitted to the car.

I agree if in the mountains regularly winters are a must.
Chips if you have the M+S and chains in the boot you will be fine. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.
