This is the only tyre I removed and replaced when they were hardly worn: the handling is downright dangerous in even the lightest snow, and in rain: the car simply did not know which end was the front. I replaced them with Michelin Cross Season 2s, where have been superb for the past 30,000 miles.
The P Zeros are utterly unsuited to this vehicle.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Land Rover Discovery 4 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These tires have the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) and M+S markings, but they are definitely not suitable for icy roads, glare ice, or black ice because they lack adequate siping. Their off-road traction in snow is good.
Excellent fitment for my Land Rover, very quiet and has excellent road manners. Seems to be wearing well, starting at ~7mm from fitment down to ~6.8mm 4,000 miles later. These are an excellent road tyre, but I do not recommend taking these off-road as the tight tread pattern seems to be keen to attract small rocks in the tread, and the compound seems relatively soft and easily distorted by sharp objects.
Once the weather changed my opinion on these tyres changed drastically, the car would dangerously aquaplane on the slightest amount of water and became difficult to control in bad weather, made driving extremely uncomfortable. The slightest amount of mud at the side of the roads was also enough to cause the wheels to lock up under slight braking, I drive mostly on country roads in the Scottish Highlands. My wife's VW Tiguan on Uniroyal Rainsport 5's does not exhibit these traits on the same roads, a far more safe and confident drive.
At my work we have a discovery 4 as well and it runs on Goodyear duratracs and does not exhibit these handling traits in poor weather so it can be directly attributed to the tyres.
Also they are wearing fast, 5000 miles done and 5mm tread gone from the front so its time to change before the winter, 3mm left on the front and 5mm on the back and they have been changed for Goodyear's as I've never had any problems with them.
However it does not matter, because the tire is discontinued AFAIK.
Tyrewear is slow and hard enough on rocks not to worrie about sharp edges pierce them. Looks nice on LR4 with sidegrip treads.
The tires have good traction and all the things that you desire, but the road noise from them in the cabin is just a terrible drumming noise that drives you nuts. I've driven about 40,000 km on it and enough is enough I can't stand it anymore.
I'll either go to Toyo's that I've had for years on our other vehicles or Pirelli's but not Hancook anymore.
