Wanted - 19" or 20" wheels & tyres

Looking to replace my existing wheels with new ones. Open minded regarding the style but want something fairly classic looking.

Ideally looking for brand new/delivery mileage Scorpion Zeros as a complete package.

Don't confuse "Mud & Snow" (M+S) with winter tyres - they are very different!!

So are the tyres that duckworths are offering any good for general motorway and town use summer and winter?

Not planning on using these off road much.

Sorry to ask all thes questions but I want o be sue they're what I need.

Regarding road noise the tread looks quite chunky compared to others I've seen. Does this particular tyre cause much road noise in comparison to others?

Also how much mileage is typical for these? I've heard some people only get 15k miles and others can get 30k...

They aren't a chunky all terrain tyre, they are a road-biased pattern.

Mileage depends on how you drive

How do these compare regarding road noise?

I've heard the rubber is a little softer so would expect noise to be less?

Compared to what?

I have run 19" Scorpion Zeroes on a D3 and didn't have issues with road noise.
