These tires came standard on my Range Rover Evoque P270e Autobiography and are a well matched tire for my heavy plug in 4x4.
Land Rover and Pirelli designed these tires exceptionally well for the Evoque and the only criticism, is they are predominantly a summer tire despite marked “all season” and European driving requires a 3 peak winter accreditation.
Dry weather handling is superb, the tire is well planted in the corners and offers a sporty, confident driving experience.
Wet weather driving, again offers confidence and predictable handling, I have never aquaplaned with these tires in over 12,000 miles and what felt like monsoon rains.
Noise is as expected for a tire of this style and wear is excellent, 3mm in 12,000 miles.
The tire is good visually and has a pleasant tread pattern that suits the car.
Overall experience, a fantastic tire that I wished had 3 peak winter accreditation and if so, I would never change from this tire again…
Confident driving experience and well suited to the Evoque is how I would sum up this tire..

What is a Ultra High Performance tire?
Ultra High Performance tires are the enthusiast's road tire - the fitment for hot hatches, performance saloons and fast estates. They prioritize steering response and grip, accepting a little more noise and wear than a touring tire.
All Season tires compromise between summer and winter ability so one set can stay on the car all year. In moderate climates a good all season tire is a genuinely strong choice; in hard winters or hot summers a dedicated tire still does the job better.

What drivers say about SUV and 4x4 All Season Ultra High Performance Tires
The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.
With only 22,000 miles I don't have much info on longevity, but so far they have been great. This tire is labeled VOL PNCS which means that the tire was made specifically for the Volvo XC60 T8 Recharge MY2024 and has the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System which makes these tires very quiet. Quite noticeable when driving on Battery only. Grip has been great so far, but don't have a lot of driving in the snow just yet.
I needed a set of summer tires so I've got these tires with used wheels for my e-tron 55 '22. I didn't know these tires before and it was a good surprise:
- very quiet, important on an electric car
- good grip on dry surface
- ok on melted snow
- good traction on wet, tend to understeer
- did some light tests on gravel, ok to good (quattro do a great job)
- very comfortable
Only issue I had was a side puncture from a rock on a very dirty road in Corsica. Otherwise, there are quite secure, I tried to push the +400hp from the e-tron on Corsica roads under high temperature and did not get any issue.
I think these tires could last around 50k kms on my e-tron.
Excellent fitment for my Land Rover, very quiet and has excellent road manners. Seems to be wearing well, starting at ~7mm from fitment down to ~6.8mm 4,000 miles later. These are an excellent road tire, but I do not recommend taking these off-road as the tight tread pattern seems to be keen to attract small rocks in the tread, and the compound seems relatively soft and easily distorted by sharp objects.
