Tyres for UK seasons

Post by HDPete » Sun Feb 16, 2020 2:35 pm

I’ve had MPSS4 for a while and they’re half worn. I’m noticing horrendous issues with the car being thrown away from or drawn into the verge when the road has a mild puddle.

Is it just the sheer size of tyre and a characteristic, or would an all season tyre be a better try like the Pirelli Scorpion ? (Just fitted these to my Range Rover and it feels great on the same stretch)

In my opinion all season tires are crap, Best Buy winter tires for winter and summer for summer

If the car is pulling on puddles I would get the suspension geometry checked before changing tyres - these beasts are very sensitive.

Thanks chaps. I did wonder about the tracking as I know it’s sensitive, I’ll give that a try.
