This link seems to sum it up; M+S are NOT snow tires!!!!

My point, if I did not make it well, is that the tires that came stock seem to be more a summer tire than an all season and the vehicle was purchased in PA. Other SUV's I have purchased came with All-season tires that were measurably better in the snow. Just surprised the stock skins are so bad in the white stuff......kstatenupe said:When did LR start stocking their trucks with Snow tires? It's not like the only cats they sell to are people in north and south poles.
Sorry you didnt have a good experience with your truck.
That's interesting they say M+S on them, I'm curious to hear what other '10s are coming with. IMO, all-seasons = summers in the snow anyway. Good to hear you picked up a set of winters! :thumb:BWB RRS HSE said:the tires that came stock seem to be more a summer tire than an all season

I will say this is going to be my 4th winter with the same tires and they last forever. I do about 16K miles per year, probably half that in the with the snows on, and the wear indicator that runs down the center of the tire with the 4mm, 6mm, 8mm readings. The 6mm is still very visible.
I have both, WRs on the Rover, Rs on the Audi, I'm only going to be running the WRs on the rover from now on, including summer driving. They Audi on the other hand, I'm going to have to do winter and summer swaps.Phil07_RRS said:like the others i picked up a set of Nokian WR tires and have had nothing but good results. My 07 came with summer tires too.
I got these same tires for my 2010 RRS SC. The original "summer" Michelin tires were horrible in the snow (after driving through it here in MI for one day). Got these Michelin Latitude Alpin tires from TireRack with the "snow and mountain" logo on the side and it is a night and day difference. Talk about grip and complete power through deep snow! You have gotta switch to snow tires to really enjoy the snow and the power of this beast of an SUV!BWB RRS HSE said:Thanks for the advice guys. Ordered up 4 of these (275/40/20) from TireRack this morning. According to the Michelin website - they have really good braking performance and are Winter certified with the "snowflake".
