Pirelli Scorpion Zero Alternatives 20" ??? |
|
Hi
Looking for an alternative, if there is one, for the Scorpion Zero's Fitted, as they are getting to around 2mm after only 22000miles.
I like the tyres, but a bit disappointed with the wear rate.
I do quite a bit of off road stuff (Farmer) and have found the tyres to be more than capable on most occasions, or is it just that the Discovery is just bloody fantastic in the muddy stuff.
The obvious would be the Grabber A3, but I'm still scared from my last experience with my last set of Grabber's on my last Disco, the road noise when they get to <50% is just awful.
Thoughts???
20" wheels..
Cheers guys

Sorry but the AT3 is perfect. I've got 255/55 on my 20's and they look and feel like the business. No gone off-road yet but they look handy. I had the old grabbers on my Sport in 20" and so far these are much better on road than they were, so fingered crossed they stay that way.

Is there an improvement on high wear noise levels?

Camelford Show was almost a washout and the field turned to a quagmire but AT3's just drove me straight out. Near the exit, before you got to the stone track, the mud was about 6 inches deep. .

To Andy@AJS. I v'e got the AT3 in 275/45/20 and the ride is quite a bit harder than previously when I had 255/55/19's. Have you had much feedback 255/55/20 versus 275/45/20's a to the ride difference? .

Another question....
would you recommend the AT3s for cars that don't go off road at all?
Whats the noise / wear rate / economy impacts versus the Pirelli Scorpions?
(I've only taken my off road at Beaulieu, but otherwise my disco is used as a family wagon on motorways/town!)
