Cooper Zeon Sport 4XS on my 2010 Exec.
£95 a corner on mytyres.co.uk
Good reviews, and personally I find them sure-footed, hard wearing, and very good value for money.

Hi,

I have finally narrowed down my new tyre purchase of 235 60 18 to either the Michelin Cross Climate SUV ( as I can’t find the Cross Climate + in my size yet) or the Continental All Season Contact.

But my question is this. My 2014 xc60 se lux nav geartronic Came with 103 V rated tyres from factory from what I can work out and the new Continentals or Michelin’s have a 107V or 107W rating. So does the increase in Load rating ( from 103 - 107) mean I’m going to have a harder ride?

I would be interested to see what load rating people are running on either the Michelin’s Cross Climates or the Continental’s All Season Contact.

Many thanks
Giles

I had the continental cross contact 255/50r19 fitted and they were OK..

I needed x4 new tyres and was thinking on what to fit.

In the end I went for the Avon ZX7, after reading reviews and people loving them on 4x4 cars I would give them a shot.

I Can confrim they are fantastic, they a quite, good grip in dry and wet and look good and not bad priced.

Very happy and I can see why others are too:

bargain of the year for me so far!!https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consum...r.WRLHPAW.html
I’ve done close to 2k miles on these tyres now & can confirm they are excellent, never slipped in the wet (not really a suprise there!) but I do give them a fair test, round corners etc- for a big car they hold ver very well.

Had these fitted last year.

My wife commented today about several cars in front of her spinning out on ice today but couldn't fathom what was happening!

The CCs just stuck like glue on the ice and as far as she was concerned the road was just shiny!

Hopefully she wont get over confident.
