Best modification to your D4?

Got a set of 4 new tyres fitted to the D4, and I have to say I much prefer the driving experience over the Scorpion Zero. Plusher ride (less crashy over our awful pot-holed roads) and with a much keener turn in even at lower temperatures. It feels like the car wants to go round corners whereas Scorpion Zero were far less eager to change direction. It makes the car feel much more nimble for its weight. If you have 20” wheels, consider these as they are OE JLR tyres fitted to the new Range Rover. As recommended by Harry Metcalfe of Evo and Harry’s Garage fame see his L322 review below on the excellent Harry’s Garage YouTube channel.

Kwik fit did them for £200 per corner mobile fitted with a 10% discount which worked out £720 for a set. Expensive but now I’ve no need for winter tyres. These are definitely a road biased tyre, so not for those who enjoy driving through the bushes. But worth a look if yours are running thin and you mostly drive on the road.
