Even though it wasn’t my intention to hijack this thread I think I just did. After my wheels received positive comments I will need to buy 4 tyres 275x40x22 and obviously the right load rating etc for the car. Price isn’t really an issue, I was thinking Scorpions but where the best place to get ‘em fully fitted. Geoff |

I’ve just replaced my 22” Scorpion Verdes with Scorpion Zero (all season, ncs) and Asdatyres was the cheapest at £1,025.

I’m looking to buy new tyres at the moment and have found Tyreshopper to be cheaper than National Tyres, even though they would then be fitted at National Tyres?!?!?!? 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀

In 275/40/22, the Scorpion Zero AS NCS are £235.25 fitted at F1 Autocentres. I usually find these are the cheapest on premium tyres...

The Verde is £235 (zero is 280), but still a very good price |

Does anybody know if the Pirelli PNCS Tyres are available for a L322 (ie 19” wheels)? If so where did you find them? |

I know this is an oldish threat but I finally bit the bullet on some tyres and just bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion zeros for my SC - £660 via Formula 1 and grabbed some cashback via one of the sites as well.. Asda tyres were same price but no cash back option. Old tyres were the same but old enough to be cracked and new tyres have already improved the economy if that was possible and feel much better. I did look at the PNS version but didn't seem worth the extra spend versus what it would save based on my research. |

So once again my tyres are down to the markers on the front, getting fed up with this ,I buy premium tyres, but they just don’t last.

Get the cheaper tyres .... cause they're cheaper ! But seriously, I *personally* think from my experience that: The absolute budget (like accelera iota etc) tyres start off OK, but they soon loose their suppleness, and as a result they can become a bit less grippy on wet roads. I live in the west of scotland, it rains, a lot, and I found that when pushed (like on a roundabout) the accelera iotas would start to slip sooner than mid/high tier brands. That being said, I found they were far from the ditch-finders which forums spout them to be if you drive sensibly. Going into the middle tiers - I like Kumho. Have been consistently decent in all weathers, and in summer and winter tread patterns. Its probably worth spending a little more to get into the bracket above budget. High end - Beyond pirelli, i'm not interested. Conti have been a disappointment, cracked in the past, and didn't last long wear wise for other tyres. Similar with Dunlop. I cant say thought that I've felt that the high end tyres have ever offered performance which merits the increase in cost over the mid range stuff personally. So with all that in mind, I fitted relatively cheap 22" Radar AT5's! cause i'm a daftie. ( but in all honesty, they've been great so far )

Ive just swapped from Contis to Pirelli PNCS for the lower noise benefits and am pleased so far.
