2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Waitomo Grey

I’ve run mine all summer as well.
I was hoping they would wear out so I could fit some AT3’s.
Have done around 30k on them and they still have 4mm+.
Great tyre and I can’t fault the grip in summer or winter. D4 2016 Landmark, Waitomo Grey.
D3 2005 HSE, Bonatti Grey, now sold but still comes back for servicing.
Defender 2002 Td5 Commercial, had a hard life but slowly being restored.
I only work so I can afford to repair my Land Rovers!

Wise words to Michelin: use a proof reader!

Winters ready to go on SWMBO’s car, will bung them on when I get a nice day. Better doing it when it’s nice than when it’s ffffffreeeeeeezin. New rubber all round, they really went off at about about half worn, we didn’t even know her car had a traction control light.

Winters do have a "change at 4mm tread depth" recommendation which is about half worn for car tyres (approx. 8mm when new). Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

They were a little short of the 4mm wear indicator band but I was amazed at how quickly they went off. Brand new tyres will fix that, went for the same Conti T280s (I think) as they have been absolutely brill in proper Heeland winters.
