Grabber GT or Scorpion Zeros
First time posting so I hope I'm doing it right! I need some help deciding on new tyres for Discovery 4, nearly all road use with the odd grassy field and occasional trek day. Good grip in wet weather is quite important. I seem to be going round in circles, but think I've narrowed it down to Grabber GT or Scorpion Zero based on many hours reading through the posts. The only thing putting me off the zeros is the reported bad wear, but can't find much info about the Grabbers in wet weather. Have Pirelli changed the zero recently or about to change it as it doesn't appear to be listed on their Uk site, and the American site suggests they are an all season tyre! Any help greatly appreciated.

I've got the Grabber GT's on my Disco3 and they seem fine for grip in the wet and in the dry. Don't know wabout wear yet as they've only done 10,000 miles.
On previous Range Rovers (P38's and L322's) I've had the Pirelli's and I like them too - wear didn't seem to be a problem - I know I got 45,000 miles out of the last set, although they do start 'tramlining' in ruts and over white lines towards the end of their lives.

You would not be disappointed with the General GT.
Had GT's for 20k and all is well. The rubber fell off the scorpions while I looked at them , leave well alone. Mark

Thank you all for your help, Grabbers it is. I take it Land Rover won't be funny over the warranty if I use non 'LR Approved' tyres.
