Best 19" tyres, please.

Hi, do a bit of towing with large caravan, car often loaded right up, tiny bit off roading, only cover 8k miles a year, looking for best tyre for the job, that also looks ok, any advice please, thanks holly.

I vote for standard Pirelli Scorpions, great all rounder. The ATR version even better if you can source them.

Duratracs good for serious off road but I wouldn't run them for day to day driving personally due to noise, wet grip and mpg

I'm on the cooper zeon ltz as they came recommended and they were a lot cheaper for me than the others. No complaints so far.

I'd go with standard Pirelli Scorpions Zeros, Duratracs are a bit extreme for what you're doing, and will take some living with day to day, although they are a great tyre.

Ive just got a set of scorpion atrs from Camskill, they have the same economy and noise rating as the scorpion zeros, so shouldnt effect economy etc.

Thumbs Up


I had major issues just before they were swapped out (at 23k - 24k)
It was a rainy wet summer & they planed like mad...positively dangerous on a greasy road.

I'm not really bothered about how a tyre looks (?)....
To me they have to have:
a) grip to get you there in all conditions....dry, wet, snow.....all types of roads
b) have good attributes for braking
c) be reasonable off road (my D3 goes off road rarely)
d) achieve a realistic mileage -v- realistic cost

Scorpions failed miserably on (a) & (b)..... How they look & how much they cost didn't come into it
I currently have Wintracs....may try Nokian next
 BREXIT - done properly.

I take your point some may be a bit extreme, The rims currently have 255/50's on, my local tyre centre has suggested Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season 265/55/19 , has a different profile will these be ok, thanks again Holly.

After reading on here

The following for duratracs I may try these next time....
The main thing for me is wet road performance & winter credentials

Having said that a D3/4 will do amazing things on bad tyres.....except stop on a wet, greasy road.

The Scorpions I had were the OEM ones that came with the D3..... These are the usual 30% off road ones

If I drove the D3 more I would opt for two sets of wheels summer / winter......but the wheels I need for winter tyres would be 18" - which don't fit the V8 brakes I have

no more serious than a good All terrain tyre IMO, wet grip is up there with the best A/T's as well, naff all diffrence in my mpg since I have been running them for the past 3 & 1/2 years Thumbs Up

that's the correct size, the 255/50/19's are incorrect and probably underrated on the weight rating too.

As far as I know it's 255/55/19 thats the correct size for a Discovery
