I drove in the worst of the snow we had in surrey last year on my scorpions and never lost traction, even on steep inclines. I have total faith in the tyres capabilities. They were great on my Disco 3 too. If they are standard fit from the factory, believe me Land Rover have tested them to the extreme. 2018 Range Rover Autobiography

...or maybe snow boots? (google - Weisssocks) - I have heard good reports about these, apparently they're very easy to fit. |

I currently have Pirelli Scorpion Zeros on the front and my original Michelin Synchrones (they've stopped making these as they've been superceeded) on the back which have now covered 46k miles (fronts lasted 44k). The Michelins seemed to corner better for my money (which is strange as they are harder wearing so I would have expected the softer Pirellis to do better), but I am always heavy on cornering so the Michelins worked well for me. Got the Pirellis at the LR Main Dealer who did a great price on them (as cheap as virtually all the internet sites I checked). Steve
