I'm running on the Scorpion Verde all season tyres and they are superb... they will get fitted next time round no hesitation.

I was in Plymouth last night and got caught out in the torrential rain bringing the daughter and grand-kids back from skating.

Some areas of road were flooded and some were shut so we had to take alternate routes.

We encountered many flash flood areas with some areas (at one roundabout) at the bottom of a hill nearly 3 ft. deep! and the wash up the side of the car as we rounded it slowly and carefully to drive uphill the other side was terrifying but it was one of those situations you had to keep going and both the combination of the car and the tyres were excellent.... we never slipped once.

There are many good tyres out there for the XC90 and we each have our favourites and tales to tell ....this is mine and why they will go on again next time.
