I have the Pirellis on a pure and they still have 6mm of tread on all four tyres after 19400 miles, I am really pleased with both the ride quality, noise and grip and they a M&S, mud and snow and not Marks and Spencers

Hope this helps

Thanks looks like Pirelli are the ones to have then.

I went to polygon for driving school. I have pirelli on my dynamic and I had shortest braking parh among all cars including BMW 1, honda accord, some
Toyotas, skoda...

I saw several MY13s at my dealer and all of the ones that had opted for the 20" style 6s had Michelins (I was particularly looking at those as I too have opted for them). Most of the pre-MY13s with these wheels seemed to have Continentals. Personally I would be delighted if I got Michelins as I had a set on my A4 and the rear ones lasted 50k!

My Transit has done 116k miles on the same set of rear Michelins in 3years, the fronts are lasting me 60k miles

Saw my first MY 13 as I walked past the dealer today. I think the integral badge on the grill looks absolutely fine. Not so convinced with the new style 5's (sparkle finish) it was running on. The diamond turned 5's add just something extra IMHO.

The trouble with diamond cut alloys is that when scuffed/damaged repair/refinishing is quite difficult, though it can be done.

Maybe JLR had received some complaints or new style were cheaper to produce.

That's progress or is it evolution?

Got Pirelli Scorpion's Verde let hope they wear well.

Hello everyone!

I'm a newbie on this forum, but recently got our MY2013 Evoque Coupe.
While my car was washed at dealer's corner, I've shot the small video, comparing 2012 and 2013 seat motors. They have really revised that stuff
The time in this video is for "full-back" to "full-front" positions. Maybe add or remove half a second as I did not bother to align two videos perfectly together.

That's a really useful video - to be honest you'd probably be better starting a new thread to post it as it's likely to get lost in this long, general thread.

I also think it's worth doing
