Best Tires for the Land Rover Discovery 3

These are one of the default AT tires for a reason. I haven't used these off road extensively but they have seen a few rock covered trails and plenty of rough gravel roads with no issues. Mud traction is just OK but of course these aren't mud tires. Snow, slush, and even deep snow traction has been great, but grip on ice and hard packed snow is much less impressive and reminds you these aren't proper winter tires. This might be a compromise most AT tires make, but it's bad enough I wouldn't recommend these for someone who just wants all weather performance for a street driven truck/SUV. If you need a durable do anything on/off road tire, especially in warmer and drier climates, these would be a great option.

I found the tire a little noisy compared with the last brand, I was very disappointed with the wear on these tires, 11500 miles (18000 km) on exactly the same road surface as my last set of tires of which I had 26,000k the continental is not a cheap tire, it was recommended by Norauto in Lugo, Spain.
It is not a tire i would recommend after this use, I am a careful driver 70 years of age, the vehicle has never been off road and it is used as my daily commute i do not exceed speed limits.

We drive on all sorts of roads including gravel and use the Land Rover for day-to-day, some longer trips and a bit of towing (such as boat trailers); I like the feel and balance of the tire, with good comfort and low noise (even compared to earlier more road-biased tires), and our fuel consumption has not worsened. I was slightly concerned that an all-terrain would feel clumsy and loud, but there are no downsides, and hopefully these Falkens will last longer and will be tougher (more puncture proof). Lastly, I'd add that these were very cost effective compared to the competition.

I drive a Land Rover Discovery TDV6 and bought my 255/60/R18 112H XL Scorpion A/T + tires on 313,000km. I do off-road trips with my club although recently not so much and the tires worked great. They are quiet on the road and perform off-road remarkably well although in sand driving especially on high sand dunes, the tires are not really suited for that although the vehicle is heavy which may have something to do with that as well but otherwise, I could go wherever I wanted.
The downside is that after just 50,000km, the tires started delaminating causing a dangerous situation for myself and my family. I was advised to change them as I could have a blow out at any time. This was happening on three of my four tires and after phoning Pirelli, I was bascially told that unless I can produce records of my tire rotations, they would even entertain looking at the tires. I orginally bought Pirelli tires because I expected backup service and by not getting it, I simply took off the tires and trashed them although there was still good tread on them.
I have switched to Dunlop and what a difference, it feels like I am driving on silk now. Sorry Pirelli, but your service stinks, at least here in South Africa.

Just a fantastic all-rounder. Quiet on the motorway, grippy off road, great manners on road. And a bargain too.

Ran AT on previous disco 2 and fitted these on Disco 3 when I changed. Great wear done 30k and fronts have about 5mm left rears about 8mm. Good grip until pushed hard then tend to understeer but what can you expect with a near 3ton discovery. Good in muddy grass never failed to be my caravan off a field and it's weighs 2 ton. Does hit the fuel consumption I loose 2-3mpg round town which is only down side the old AT on my disco 2 never made a difference but these are a little bit more aggressive. Will buy again when fronts get a bit lower

Really good tires for a very reasonable price. My wife’s new Sportage came with these tires and we were very happy with them so I decided to give them a go on my Discovery. A surprisingly reasonable price first of all was the first bonus. I find them really good in all weather conditions. They handle well at high speed and they seem to be wearing well after about 10,000 km. very happy to recommend them.

Haven't winter tested yet but took them over the main range and across Davies Plain. On road they are great. My previous tires where the Pirrelli Scorpion ATR and they were great but these are as good or better on-road which shocked me. Off road dry they are great. I haven't done much wet driving yet but will update.

These tires are shocking I'm running these on my discovery 3... I had a set of different tires on before and I got told buy these the tire fitting company said go for these gt radial adventurous honestly for £490 there the worst shocking in the wet crap on any road surface even in the dry you go round a roundabout my abs kicks in these tires have no grip I go to a 4x4 course and honestly off road these are a bad tire a bit of wet grass sloppy mud these tires Don't grip there 100% a waste of money the only good thing is they don't hum on the motorway but that's the only good thing about these tires honest answer... Crap.....

I bought a set of these tires, about 2 years ago i doo 2000 miles per month to work every day I got 48,000miles out of my last set I have a discovery 3 which as you know is a heavy 4x4 these tires a brilliant in the snow Great off roading never once had a puncture no damage to the tire walls just worn down through to my tracking was out I bet I would of got 60,000miles to a set of these easy, I'm running gt radial adventura atm shocking we do offroading at a 4x4 course and these are bad don't buy gt radial for your 4x4 dangerous tires, definitely just waiting on my new set of 4 renegade at5's to turn up they are an amazing not over priced well worth the money....
