Re-shod
Just got a set of Grabber AT 255.55x19 fitted in place of the original Zeros which had done about 28k miles. Had a set of Wintracs on the car but one got a puncture so it seemed like a good time to get Quickfat to put the ATs on the original D4 rims replacing the Zeros and swap them onto the car.
I thought I had left the back window open when I got on the road, just shows how quiet the Wintracs are!

Happy to take the blame for snow and lots of happy peeps on here
It was snowing at the time and I did feel somewhat foolish having my Wintracs removed, but one of them needs professional repair and besides, it gives me a chance to try out the GG ATs in snow. 2016 D4 Landmark SDV6 (Euro6), Zanzibar (late run D4)

Sadly it was Scottish April snow and turned to slush then puddles very rapidly so I didn't get the chance.
But today on dry roads with corners (A70) I am impressed with the cornering. They are more positive than the Zeros were as they used to give a kind of sag or slop into the corners which the GG ATs do not. I ran the Zeros at the full load pressure recommendation on the door sticker, 36F/42F, and I have the ATs at the same pressure just now.
As a footnote, running the Zeros at that pressure, they wore perfectly evenly across the entire tread on all 4 corners which was what I was aiming for after the terrible scrub-off of the outsides on my previous RRS. Still only did 30k -ish miles though.
