SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle, and the image that first comes to mind while thinking about it is a large vehicle with high ground clearance. However, a luxury SUV is much more than that, offering rich interiors, advanced technology, and cutting edge safety features. A vehicle like this is often high-priced, as it is often projected as one that symbolizes elite status in society. Luxury SUVs such as the Range Rover are of a large size, and offer several features to pamper occupants. However, these large vehicles also require the best luxury SUV tires and given below are the best ones money can buy.
All-weather tires are suitable not just for dry and wet weather, but also for moderate to severe snow. Featuring a tremendous average SimpleScore of 9.5, the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive features an innovative rubber compound that allows it to generate tremendous traction in dry, wet, and winter weather without losing tread life. Continuous sipes are helpful for generating excellent grip, and the tire is good enough for an average traction SimpleScore of 9.8.

Four wide grooves are present to ensure great wet braking and prevent aquaplaning for good wet traction. 2D and 3D sipes here generate more biting edges for increasing traction, thereby allowing us to award 8.6 as the average traction SimpleScore.
