As part of the process of getting my recently acquired TD6 up to a better standard, I'm looking to get a new set of tyres fitted. When I bought it, there were three different makes of tyre fitted, none of which I'd heard of - although I hasten to add they were a) all the same size and b) all had fairly decent tread depths.
My local tyre fitter, who has looked after all my previous 4x4s, has got two types I'm considering - Pirelli Scorpions or Kumho Crugens. I've done the search thing and the Scorpions appear a lot, but there's no mention of the Crugens. I only ask if anyone in the forum has had any experience of them because the Kumho tyres have a better set of markings than the Pirellis, and the dB level is exactly the same.
I used to run Kumho tyres on my Discovery and Pajero, so I'm pretty close to answering my own question, but I'd appreciate any feedback. L322 TDV8 4.4 - current

I have run the Pirelli on several vehicles and they are very good. Good grip in wet, quiet, long lasting __

j_rov - Yes, the Scorpions seem to be very popular and they're only £10 each more than the Crugens; part of me likes the fact that it'll be Pirelli visible on the sidewall and not Kumho . . . but I'll wait and see if anybody else chips in. L322 TDV8 4.4 - current

Both will be fine. At £10difference I would get the zeros, but if it were £40difference then I would be happy with the kumho. V8 or else ...

Thanks for the input, folks - I'll go with the Pirellis! L322 TDV8 4.4 - current

Scorpion Zeros.

Very excellent round black things

Have them in winters and standards on 3 different sets of wheels, my fave in terms of noise, grip and wear There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
