4-5mm should be OK on the front ( I'm on that all round) if they are the same tyre model. AFAIK the power split is 50/50 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Appreciate this is an older thread, but I'm looking to prepare for an essential investment of 4 new tyres on my 2011MY 4.4TDV8, and have been looking around at the options and came across these posts. I want to remain faithful to the original size, but something slightly more chunky than the knackered front Conti Cross-Contact UHPs and dubious rear Accelera Iota rears she came with. Anyway, I digress, came across this chart which some of you might find useful!

@wynno, am just putting 2 new Pirelli verde all season on my rear at £143 each, fitted. they haven't been too bad but edges on the front we'e worn to the minimum (I do tend to heavy/fast corner). The fronts lasted just over 25,000 miles and I put the rears on the front (still lots of tread) last month. |

I think the Scorpion Zero are a newer version and are better on fuel and noise but slightly more expensive Chris

Verde all round and very happy ( apart from the price) for an all season tyre. When you say you want something ‘chunky’ do you ‘need’ proper off road capability? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

£390 for 2 seems very good Merchy for Michelins.

@Merchy - those Michelins have a distinctive tread pattern - the FFRR is no sports car, but they will almost certainly have different handling characteristics to your other 2 tyres. Not seen those on a FFRR before.

Alistair, I know what you mean about distinctive, I did have one of those 'ohmegawd' moments when I first saw them, but as I wrote, I had no real choice in the matter at the time.

@Wynno , my brother has Goodyear Wrangler Duratek. He lives in the peak district and wanted them for the snow. Fit the chunky look criterion. Do your own research, obviously.

I've just gone for four Goodyear Eagle F1 SUV and they are really decent. Grip the road well, some screeching when cornering hard which lets you know they are close to the limit. Christian.

Merchy, I had them tyres on a Santa Fe [I know] and had to do an emergency stop on a very slippy winter road and they gripped that well the ABS didn't even kick in. |

Kevinp thanks for the comment, that's re-affirmed my decision to put the same on the front |

Merchy those Goodyears are on offer at the moment at a well known high street tyre outfit with a blue logo.
