Can you recommend some 4x4 all-season tyres?

The tyres fitted to my daughter's Freelander 2 need replacing. She lives in the sticks and needs a good all-round tyre. We do get snow in our part of the world. Recommendations, please? Thank you and regards.

Go for a 4x4 all-season tyre like Michelin CrossClimate, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season or Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. I believe these all come in the standard size for your daughter's Freelander 2. The benefit of the Michelin and Pirelli tyres is that they're also currently part of a deal on Kwik Fit, so you'll get 10-15% off the price depending on which you opt for. I'd lean towards the Pirelli as the Michelins don't handle snow as well as rivals, but the reviews here suggest Pirelli handle the snow well: www.blackcircles.com/tyres/brands/pirelli/scorpion...n
