Best AS Tyres to replace my Pirelli Scorpion AS 20”

[Dougiep]

So looking to replace tyres on my Wolfrace 20” 8.5J rims. Currently running Pirelli Scorpion AS 245 45 20 on the front. Happy with the size and like the rim protection, but there are chunks coming out of the middle of the outer blocks which isn’t great so am looking to change to a different tyre. Seem to be able to get Continental All Season Contact 2s, Michelin Cross Climate 2 and Goodyear Vector 4Season for a similar price, but only the Contis are listed with rim protection. Is this standard on the other tyres?

For all seasons I'd look at Vredestein tyres

Quick update. Went with the Continental All Season Contact 2s in the end as 1) these were available for fitting locally and 2) seemed to be more suited for milder UK climate. Will give more updates as we get on, but look good on the rims for now.
