Hi
Verde all season are available in 255/50/R20 (as well as 55) profile, if you search around. I just bought mine from quikfit.
I wondered , like you about mixing as I had two almost new tyres on the back. In the end I went for 4 verde all season because of information I found regarding running different tyres on the front and back which is a compromise apparently. I used one of the back tyres as my new spare and will sell the other shortly.Gary

I've run the Scorpion Zero and more recently the Scorpion all Season. If it was a choice between the two i would take the all Season every day of the week - no question.

As you probably read above, Andy, I've now take the plunge on the Verde all seasons. First day driving on them today. Seem quieter and a softer ride (on exactly the same pressures). Didn't notice an improvement in MPG which some have reported. If anything it got slightly worse. We'll see how they get on this Winter.
Thought I'd raise this thread as it's 18 month or so on & wonder if opinions suggestions have changed.
I'm due to take delivery of a D4 shortly with the Landmark rims 255 50 R20 Y. Unfortunately it's had a set of Landsail's put on it which I don't hold much hope of offering either a pleasurable ride or acceptable grip.
I've had Scorpion's on the D3 which I was happy with & also AT2 which were fine but rather noisy in my opinion.
The car will be mainly on road with the occasional excursion across a field with a trailer / box.
Whats the consensus from you guys for a middle of the road tyre for the D4 Landmark?

I’ve been wondering about Scorpion Verde all season. Reports on here are very good. Last a long time and good in Winter conditions which my Zeros were not. Not so good in mud though it appears but that doesn’t worry me.
I have them in 255/55/20 on my FFRR. I like them, can’t think of any negatives to report, seem to wear well. They are also better in the mud than you’d imagine, but that’s largely due to the brilliant TR system.
This was much more muddy than it appears in the photo (excuse the grinning eejit):

Does anyone have Landsail L588 tyres fitted to their Discovery?
I was making the assumption that they were a cheap budget tyre & wouldn't provide much in the way of performance or ride. However, reading various reviews online they seem to get some positive feedback although not specifically on a Discovery

Fitted by dealer, not my choice. Never off roaded them but ok on Tarmac. Never felt unsafe when driven like I've nicked it but have worn more than I'd have liked... possibly related to aforementioned driving style. .
