Had them on a MY17 2WD XC60 and on my current XC70.

Vredestain Quatrac on my dads XC70 and Cooper Weathermaster on my XC90 are better by some margin IMHO.

However you will find the Scorpion's a substantial improvement over the factory Continentals if you have them - but your economy will drop 2-3 or so.

That is a good price but check the dates....

Thanks for input and advice about checking the dates.

It's a used xc60 I bought from a garage and they put some ditchfinders summer tyres on before it was sold to me. I want them swapped out asap.

They also offered Goodyear winter tyres for £100 a corner but dont fancy swapping in and out of summer winter tyres.

All season seems a good comprimise for conditions here in the UK.
