Hi,
We have these fitted to our Land Rover Discovery 2 that regularly tows 3tons. We live in Italy 2000feet up on the Appennines and can experience 3+ft of snow during winter. There are areas/roads here that require you to have either snow chains or 'snow tyres' before you can proceed. From my research before i bought snow tyres, persuaded by my wife who objected rather too aggressively that she would refuse to get out in the snow and fit snow chains when needed, that these tyres were the most popular and now i know why. They're great. Snow tyres, we are told, are normally a soft compound and can wear considerably when on dry tarmac - see wet tyres on F1 cars - ours are wearing, as we speak, just as well as 'normal tyres'. We have done over 12k miles and i have yet to witness a reduction in tread depth.
PS; No i do not work for Pirelli.

I have these tyres on my Discovery II and they are awesome. They have done just over 25000 miles (they weren't new when I got them!) and there is still a few miles left! The grip is fantastic in all conditions including super slippy ice. I would recomend them all day long. My use is general road use on M, A & B roads including a fair bit of towing. They haven't even punctured on me, not bad considering their mileage.

I bought these tyres for my RAV 4 3 years ago now and I'm very impressed with them. Tyre wear is excellent and they are still well above legal requirement, especially the back set. I'm only replacing the fronts this year to give me deeper snow traction. I have had these on the car all year round and they provide very good grip in all conditions. 80% my driving is on B class back roads which are often quite slippy and I've always felt in control. I do drive aggressively as I'm always running late and these tyres have got me there without any fuss. They give good feedback and any break away is progressive. Maybe they aren't for your car but they certainly are a sound choice on the RAV 4. I have nothing bad to say about these tyres.

Best winter tyres I have used in eastern Europe, hard ride but can deal with extreme weather and poor roads. I tried Vredensteins but took them off after 2000 miles.
