About these reviews

Tyre reviews recording 285/45 R21, across tyre brands and tread ranges. Each review identifies its tyre range.

3/5

So far, they have been excellent. Took the car and caravan through all sorts of weather and road conditions down to Southern Spain. Will be getting two more when we need them. You can't take a chance with tyres; if you buy cheaply you will get a cheap quality tyre. Is it worth the risk or would peace of mind be better?

5/5

Pirelli Scorpion Zero

As described and expected.

4/5

Pirelli Scorpion Zero

These are useful for smoothing out bumps on roads in our area that are in bad condition. I pity those that have to use low-profile tyres. To deal with potholes and avoid them, a strong sidewall is essential.

5/5

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season

They are really great and extremely durable when used with electric vehicles.

5/5

Pirelli Scorpion Zero

My vehicle came with front Toyo tyres which lasted 60,000 miles, so that was decent. However, I did not feel safe driving on wet roads, as it always felt like I was sliding. Since I changed to Pirelli's, I have never had any problems, and these are great tyres.

5/5

Pirelli Scorpion Zero

I have not tested the tyres with snow yet, however, I have tested them on several different weather conditions and they have done a good job.

The tyres are working really well.

Great tyres! I'm really happy with how they handle in both dry and wet conditions.

Hankook DynaPro HP2+ (RA33D)

Based on the reviews I decided to give these a try. So far they feel good and reasonably planted on the road. Also a bonus they are quiet on the motorway.

285/45 R21 is a large SUV tyre size. This is fitted as standard on the Mercedes-AMG G 63. The numbers indicate the following specifications. The "285" indicates the width in mm. The "45" indicates the sidewall height as a percentage of the tyre width. So, in this case, the sidewall height is 128mm. "R" indicates a radial tyre and "21" means it is on a 21-inch rim. This gives an overall diameter of 790mm. The sidewall protects the rim from damage on uneven surfaces. We supply 285/45 R21 tyres, including the XL versions, on Tyres.co.uk.
