Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT rated 78% while driving a Unknown Nissan Titan Pro 4x 2024

I think the Pirelli XTM AT’s are at the top of the list for comfort (P-rated, SL) and road grip so far. Much better response and feedback than the OE General Grabber APT’s (same size: P275/70r18). Tread pattern and sidewalls are aggressive but not blocky. Likely will not test in ice/snow, but 3PMSF gives some indication. For a solid 80-85% highway and 15-20% off road, they seem to fit the bill perfectly. Recent purchase. Will update after 10k+ miles.

QUIET QUIET QUIET! Very Quiet tire for the tread design, snow performance could be better but a great all around tire to towing and daily commuting, Rain performance was fantastic. Off-road performance has been very good as well in sand and gravel with mud holes.

Put on my Ram 3500 just before going cross country with my 5th wheel trailer. No issues with dry or wet traction. The steering response/handling was better and the ride was much smoother than my Falken A/T tires. I'm glad I put them on before my trip and will most likely buy again.

These tires came on my 2023 Chevy ZR2 Silverado. Three days after buying this truck I had to drive 1- hours across the eastern US that finished with a snowstorm that was not predicted. As I was traveling at 50 mph due to conditions, a car spun out on the freeway about 100 yards behind me. I wouldn't have known the roads were this slick because I had plenty of traction and zero issues. Yes, the tires only had 500 miles on them, but this was quite impressive. The Goodyear Territory MT's look essentially like a Duratrac and perform in a very similar manner. These tires are very light at 45 lbs each for this tire size. They provide a comfortable ride on the roads with very good grip in the wet and the dry. They are inexpensive at 265.00 per tire. On an off-road trip in New Hampshire, airing down to 18 psi gave my truck a very low riding height and the soft sidewalls made driving feel very squishy. I had a hard time feeling what the tire was doing, but also where it was tracking. This tire did really well over baby head sized rocks, 3-4 ft ledges, icy trails and 5 ft deep water/mud bogs (trucks with Nitto's spun out in this section). Where this tire failed was in rock gardens where the 2-ply sidewall was no match for the rough granite trails of the Northeast. Fortunately it was cheap to replace. As with the Duratrac's, this tire gets noticeably louder the more miles you put on it. These tires do not come with a mileage warranty, and at 24,000 miles, they are seemingly twice as loud as when I first started driving on them. I had Duratrac's on my 2019 Silverado and switched to the mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's which were a significant upgrade. For this new truck, the Mickey Thompson's are 26 lbs heavier per tire than these Territory MT's. So the search for a suitable replacement continues...

Have only had the tires for a couple of weeks. First run at highway speeds revealed a shake from the rear. Went back to tire store, Discount Tire, and they re-balanced the rears. They were out apparently due to balancer problem. Road tested again and could now feel a slight shake in the steering wheel at highway speed. Back to the store and found right front tire had a bad belt. Tires were purchased through Tire Rack and they shipped a replacement immediately. If replacement is good we should be ready to go. Tread design very similar to my previous Michelen set and looking for good service from these.

Was a better tire than the factory ones, just didn't get the mileage out of them that I was wanting, even though I rotate and balance them every 5K miles

These tires were one of the best I have run on my last 3 F250 6.2L trucks (2017, 2019 & 2022). Very well rounded performance.
I work in the oil field, with lots of stop and go on gravel. I drive lots of mud, deep deep snow, gravel and a light mix of highways in Canada.
I was very pleased with the winter performance, these tires grip very well in snow and mud. They do lack on ice grip but this is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
The whisper grooves keep the tire noise tamed but not entirely muted. They do have a slight constant noise but this does not bother me.
I found the tires to be exceptionally durable, not chipping away and destroying the tires as I drove them on lots of gravel. This is a common problem we face in the oilfield.
I would recommend these tires if your interests align with mine in this order:
1: Mud and Snow performance - EXCELLENT!
2: Tread life - EXCELLENT! They hold up to chipping from stones very well.
3: Cost - Affordable, $1850 CAD installed and balanced when I got them.
4: Ice - Drive accordingly to the road conditions - This is my least important factor. These tires are not disappointing on ice but they definitely lack here.

I drive about 50% highway and 50% gravel using my truck to check wells. Meaning I stop and go every few 100 meters on gravel and we chew tires up faster then the normal person.
These tires inspired confidence in snow and mud, they fall short on ice as expected but this is not a huge concern to me. The seemed to pack snow into the tread that held the snow on snow traction i require at work.
Since my work pays for tires this allows me to try a new tire any time i need new shoes. And these were the best tread life i have ever had. The tires had over 70000km of abuse on them under my F250. I usually only get 40000-55000km per set. Putting these well above the pack
Other tires ive used include:
Mickey tompson baja atz - lasted 40000km before having dangerous delamination on 2 tires. Loved these tires up to that point.
Toyo at2 extremes - ran 2 sets. Both averaged around 50000km. Durable casing. Great tires.
Toyo at3 - these tires are much softer then at2 and didnt last as long. Roughly 40000km. Overall a good tire, just expensive.
Hankook dynapro at2 -lasted 60000km. I didnt enjoy these tires, they are terrible in snow and mud. Good on icy highways. For my use case i wouldnt get them again.

Fantastic all terrain tire. Very aggressive looks and tread pattern but still very well mannered on the road. The road handling is much better than you would expect. I would say that these tires are far superior in almost every category to the BF Goodrich K02's that were on my truck previously. For off road capability, these tires are absolute monsters! I will definitely be purchasing these again when I need tires.

This is the 4th set of Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar Adventurer tires that I have had on my trucks. I use them all year round and get about 40,000 kilometers on them before I install new tires. The traction, especially in wet conditions, deteriorates after the tread is half worn. I like the quietness and good mileage.

Michelin has always been know for their high price and great quality. That is word of mouth. I bought my first set of Michelin tires and they are the worse tire I have every bought. Road noise is like a mud tire, I go stuff in my own drive way that is gravel. ( Never happen in 22 years with any other tire) For the first time ever I took off from a light and the tires spinning and it's only raining outside. These tires are the worse and dangerous.

Love the tire on my 2018 Nissan Titan pro4x. Got 70k out of each set. At 143k and about due for a third set. Mostly highway driving with some dirt roads mud and the occasional Texas snow thrown in.
