I’m running 21” Pirelli Scorpion Zero Noise cancelling tyres at the moment but had a puncture in the shoulder on the rear last week.
The spare wheel has a new Scorpion Verde fitted. I bought this wheel and tyre separately to the 4 and it was a bargain. I don’t think it’s ever been on a car.

I could really do with replacing all 4 now as they are starting to wear and the MOT station pointed out a cut in one of the front ones.
The Verde are a lot cheaper than the Zero so I’m wondering what you fine people think of them and how do they compare? 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

I recently replaced my Scorpion Verde's with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV. I found them better grip in the wet and was lucky to hit a flash sale at Blackcircles and got 15% off.

There’s 15% off the Verde at the moment at National Tyres. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

I was going to stick with the Verdes on mine, but these are cheaper and three peaks rated, I’m tempted…

I got the Pirelli Scorpion SF2 (19") on mine since last December and am very pleased with them.
Lovely quiet they are too.
Paid €200 per corner including everything.

Definitely silent Pirelli’s for me 👍

I replaced Verdes with Zero and think the extra cost was worth it. Slightly quieter, more comfortable and they feel much better when pushing on a bit. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

P Zero PNCS on mine, 20K miles in and they've been superb. Great grip wet and dry, superbly quiet. Great tyres. I've done plenty of muddy-field work with them including towing and they've done that without any issues as well. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.

I can vouch for AT3s not having wet weather grip. I actually changed mine after an emergency stop, or should I say attempted emergency stop.
I have got Verdes and am delighted with them. Quieter and smoother than the AT3s as well

Many people like the AT3's because they are cheap and 'look the part' on a 4x4 and almost certainly have never had to do a proper emergency stop in the wet....... 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Ever tried an (attempt) at an emergency test stop with BfG M/T (m+s) tyres in the snow on a real Defender?
There comes a point where you'll ask yourself if it's worth it keeping your foot on the brake pedal
