Down to 3mm on the fronts and 5 on the back, 18 inch pirellis, amazing tyres, still excellent ride, no noise, still perfect balance and grip.

Now the amazing bit, 63,000 miles (not km,s) and not driving miss daisy as my brother in law calls me.

Normal driving, admittedly a lot of highway/motorway and towing

Will definitely replace with same again Very Happy Very Happy[/size]

One of the happy owners, ordered June 2011, delivered Wednesday 8th February 2012, now 97000 miles. Scorpions lasted 78'000 miles.

Pure TD4 5 door, fuji white, ebony interior, Pan roof, Front fogs, spare wheel, privacy glass, towbar and black roofrails.

Cars got to go back to company March 25th 2015 Sad

Westy that was what I liked about the Pirelli Ice and Snow tyres I have for winter - they run significantly more quietly than the Continentals - so much so that a passenger who travels regularly in my car commented about something having changed because she noticed it was quieter than she recalled!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

So you are looking at £255 - £300 for a Pirelli 20"

Anyone with prices they've paid for 18" and 19" ???

My continentals have completed 32000 miles but it looks like the fronts will need replacing soon as down to 2 mm. The rears are at 5mm so plenty left in these.

Retired! SD4 Manual, Prestige 5 door, Havana with Ambiance interior, plus lux pack and spare wheel.
Arrived! SD4 Auto, Autobiography 5 door, Kaikoura Stone with Tan interior, HUD/Solar glass, ACC, Lane Departure warning, Sign recognition plus spare wheel. Built 16 March. Collected 2 April.
