Hello,
Need new tyres, as after 16,000 miles the Scorpion Zeros are on their way out.
Any suggestion on replacements that will last longer. 95% of the time used on road.
Many thanks

I have just ordered General Grabbers AT3. 275 45. 20 £535 del. from AJS Tyres Reigate. Was going to wait for the 255-55-20 but they are not out till April now.

The AT3 are really good all round tyre and last. Road noise is 74 decibels. My front scorpions are nearly shot at 14k miles

I have Scorpions (can't recall the exact model) on my AJ petrol FFRR and got over 30k out of the last set (which was why I replaced like-for-like) - you must drive yours hard!

The Disco 3 & 4 is know to be harder on tyres then the RR and RRS due to the extra weight.

Have you checked your tracking? Ours are only half worn at that mileage.

Had a set of AT3’s fitted to my RR Sport. So far no complaints. Slightly more road noise that the Pirelli’s but that’s more than compensated for by the reassurance off-road. It will be interesting to see what kind of mileage I get out of them.
Also went from 255.5019 to 255.55.19 and that has transformed the ride somewhat. The car now drives a little more like a Range Rover in terms of ride comfort at the cost of a small decrease in handling stability.
