Best tyres to put on a D4

Need a couple of new tyres on a 2010 D4 HSE I am buying. Dealer says I can choose from Michelin, Goodyear or Pirelli
Car will be used on road 99.9% of the time and then 0.1% mounting grass verges in country lanes Very Happy

Any preference & why?

I've always liked Michelin tyres on my cars and vans as I've always had decent wear and performance out of them, but I've never had them on a Disco. Pirelli's tend to last about 15k so IMHO or expensive. Maybe drop Andy at AJS a pm, he'll be in a better position than most to give advice. Club Exped trailer

Wales 2009 Discovery 3 TDV6 GS Manual Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3

Spikeytop.

As the Goodyear HP is no longer available and as a suitable alternative I put Goodyear Efficient Grip on the front last week at £124 + Vat each. Seem ok, quiet on the road and a smooth ride, from the manufacturers information they should also be better on MPG. I use the D3 mainly on the road but some grassy fields while towing my trailer with sometimes up to 3 ton on the back.
