I think they are at pretty good price....less than £140 a corner....and they will not be used for any extreme off roading so hopefully they will be ok.

My 2005 s/c has had them since new and I hae replaced them faithfully at all too frequent intervals after the shoulders have ben scrubbed off and the tread has evaporated overnight. I am sure they are great tyres but I can not get them to last very long and have always paid north pf £285 for them. Now replacing all of them with Toyo Proxes S/T. I may as well scrub the corners off these at half the price.

Not good on snow / ice as I found out!


Driving at less than 10mph on snow on a road and the car slid sideways down an embankment. Came to a rest against a small fence, on the other side was the River Thames. The RR slid around trying to drive back up onto the road.
I am convinced it was the Conti tyres that caused both issues, not the lack of the car's ability.

Driving with Pirelli Scorpians for the past year and in the wet, they feel much better than the Conti's although not tested in the snow. Current MY2020

They are expensive premium tyres and great for summer/road work but will scrub outer front tread with heavy use as previously posted. If Land Rover fit them in the factory my guess is they are a good tyre.

I liked the Scorpions in the snow (both here and in Europe), they were predictable and seemed to grip well - although the Vred's will be better.
