275/55 20 Tyre Review Highlights
Continental TerrainContact HT rated 89% while driving a GMC Yukon Denali

Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 easy going miles
I live in Kansas where we get more ice than snow. The snow grip is so good I sometimes do not install my dedicated winter tire unless I suspect ice in horizon. Driven in all types of weather from heavy rain to extreme hot summers. The tires do very well in wet conditions and noticed no slipping or sliding. During dry the tire does well and has a solid grip even in higher speeds. The wear has minimal with 20,000 miles. They have been very comfortable and low road noise.

I'm actually reviewing the Wingard Sport 3 SUV version of the tire since I haven't found any online and it's a staggered setup with the fronts being 245/55R20. It has been 1 month since I've installed the tires, mostly it has been driving in the dry and wet, so far, we only had 1 day of snow and temperatures have ranged from -6 °C to +12 °C. I drive a mix of town, country roads and motorway. I won't be comparing it to my previous tires because they were installed in different rims (also 20in) and it's not fair to compare old used tires with brand new ones.
The TLDR is I highly recommend this tire and would definitely buy them again.
I haven't found any weakness, very solid performance on all the conditions I've driven so far, never once I felt the car hadn't enough grip, even in greasy conditions. Surprisingly, the steering feedback and car agility is excellent and pretty much on par with my summer Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Regarding comfort, the tires are quiet up to motorway speeds, obviously a bit louder than summer tires, and are very so slightly harder than my summer tires, in sum the overall comfort is very good.
The fuel consumption has also been a pleasant surprise, with lower average consumption of 0,2 L/100km than my previous tires.
The cherry on top is the price; the other options I was looking for were the equivalent Falken, Toyo or Hankook, all of them would cost me at least 300€ more for the set and I couldn't imagine they would be any better. For me this is a hidden gem of a tire, it's not just a great tire for the price, it's a great tire period.
About wear and ice grip I can't say much as I haven't driven it enough and there weren't proper icy conditions this year yet.

Vredestein Pinza AT are great tires. They've treated me really well and I think they'll be hard to beat. I may try the Falken Wildpeak AT4W next.
While they aren't the best in any category, they do really well all around, so they make a great all season.

Had two blowouts on these tires on my Ram 1500 truck, despite good performance otherwise. Not clear what initiated them. Shop said sidewall damage. I will replace soon with something else, despite having 6-7mm residual tread, probably Continental Terraincontact. A/T.

Have had the tires about 5 months, have driven them in rain, snow and ice all with no problem. Tires are quiet but seems as if you can feel the bumps and all tires have 35/36 lbs in them. My MPG has dropped from a little over 20 MPG down to 17.4 mpg. Not sure if this is due to winter blend of gas and winter weather in New England Have 37,000 miles on my F 150 STX and put these on to replace the original Hankkok tires

I have these tires on an F-150 and also in a 255/55R18 on a Touareg, studded in both applications. They are my go-to tire for the conditions that I drive in, which is snow and/or ice-covered roads, typically in a -30 deg F to 10 deg F (-35 to -12 deg C) temperature range. On dry pavement, they are a notably more squirmy than my summer tires. They also cost me 5% in fuel economy. Braking distances are notably longer than summer tires if driving on dry pavement, but I should note that drive pavement is an exception for my location.
These tires are focused on snow and ice, and suffer a bit in other categories as you might expect.
I have no hesitation to buy the best tire money can buy, and have settled on these. I will note that I think they are no better (maybe slightly worse) then the discontinued Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV. I suspect they reduced studs a bit to improve noise or reduce how much damage they do to roads.

Continental Terrain Contact AT is a great performing tire on my Silverado. The highlights are incredible wet traction grip and hydroplane resistance, quiet, good handling, decent ride quality. I am so impressed with the wet grip because I rarely see traction control come on with these Continentals. So much better than other tires I've used. I have also driven on loose dirt and gravel without issue. My only complaint about the Continental Terrain Contact AT is tread life but that may not totally be the tires fault. When I had the tires put on I also replaced the shocks. The alignment was off and chewed up some tire life. However, after getting an alignment I am seeing 1/32 of rubber consumed after 5,000 miles so these would not have hit the mileage rating anyway.

The Hankook Dynapro AT2 are marketed as a all-terrain tire but behave much more like a highway tire. My grip when doing light off road work (mostly loose gravel, pulling a 5000 lb. boat uphill on a steep boat landing) is poor when compared to the grip my Buick Enclave's Michelin Defender LTX's have (while pulling a 2500 lb. boat, a similar load considering the towing capacity of both vehicles).
The MPGs I get and the road noise are very good - but its performance on a variety of terrains, literally what they are marketed to do, is subpar.

The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus XL is a versatile all-terrain tire that excels in both on-road and off-road driving conditions. It delivers outstanding traction on various surfaces, including mud, sand, rocks and gravel, while also providing a comfortable and quiet ride on the highway.
