I am absolutely delighted with the COntinental Crosscontact Lx 2. They are just perfect, silent, absolute no resistance to rolling, no vibrations, and they received top notch reviews by German ADAC and Russian auto magazines. The best so far, better than Michelin by all means as I used Michelin Latitude Cross on my Classic and it feels all the time I have no air inside!

Check out Nokian, too. I did not know them until I saw so many of them on the road in Russia. Finland stuff, very good on snow and ice. I saw Volvo XC having them in France.
But again, have a look at ADAC tests at Test- und Verbraucherinformation bei Testberichte.de. The brand is not always consistent on all dimensions/profiles. For the Range Rover P38, in my dimensions, the Continental was the obvious choice at less than 80 pounds per tyre, fitted.
It is for SUV, and summer tyre.
I wanted to fit winter tyres, but in France unless you live in the mountains, you don't need them. It is more dangerous to drive with winter tyres in summer, than with summer tyres in winter.

The Nexen tyres get good results in Germany with a solid 2.0. (Gut).

Try Allopneu. My local garage fited them for 10 per wheel including balancing.
Not sure I agree with that and most auto Mags and manufactures say that in fact it's better to have a winter tyre all year than use a summer tyre in the snow and ice. Of course it's better to have a tyre that matches the season if you have the luxury
Yes, I had a hard time with this too, as I use XM+S type MIchelins on the Classic, and an old Mercedes I have. But the thing is that in Continental Europe, like in Russia for instance, you need winter tyres no question. Here in Western France, I recommend using summer tyres which are great in the wet, and to fit chains for snow and ice.
But the top is of course like for trucks and ambulances to change from November to April to winter tyres. No question. Depends on how much you are actually driving. I don't do enough km to use tyres in 6 months.
As always, I am not a pro, and this is only my opinion after reading about it, and asking garage guys...
