hi all
i know this has had extensive coverage but i thought id share my findings.
i bought 4 x 18in alloys for my range rover recently with 255/55 scorpions 2 of which were zero's and the other 2 s/t, i put the zero's on the front and it wandered really badly, so i replaced steering damper but no difference, i had a look round threads and founds zero's not getting a very good report so i swapped them round today what a difference.

problems i had
wandering in and out of tramlines m62 was the worst in the 50mph average speed area quite scary.
bad vibration from 65mph onwards.
accelerate it pulled right
decelerated it pulled left
all over the place driving over man holes.
braking was pot luck at which way it would pull

all of this is now gone!!

any body know why the zero is so bad surely there should be a warning that these are not recommended for range rovers!!:confused:
 
I had similar even on 4 ST's, dumped the lot for Geraral Grabber AT2'S , never looked back. Balancing has to be spot on whatever tyre.

Stu
 
Got rid of my Pirelli's and got myself some Michelin lattitude cross and its all going ok but they seem to be a bit noisy above 70mph.but i hope thay last longer than the others only got 15000 miles out of the pirrelis
Will be driving though to Malaysia via Russia and China starting this Friday.

PLease, Please, Please let us know how your journey goes. Sounds like its going to be fun !!
 
I can't praise General Grabber AT2s enough, quiet, grip well wet or dry and astoundingly good in snow and off road for a road-biased tyre - to top it all they're reasonably priced!
