Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT 275/50 R22 Land Rover Defender 200 miles December 1, 2025
Dry grip is equivalent for an All Terrain, handles a little better with a superior sidewall feel to others that I have used, Toyo, BFG, Goodyear Wrangler, Nitto.
Comfort is better than the Michelin Primacys that came on the car. Noise is very low. I'm in a Defender, and the wind noise surpasses tire noise.
Had snow last night, and they performed well. Little to no slippage and very little ABS engagement.

Tires have 200 miles on them will update later on.

Toyo Observe G3 Ice 275/50 R22 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 650 miles December 19, 2024
I rarely leave reviews but I absolutely hate these tires. I put them on my 2019 Sierra 1500 Denali (275/50R22) I normally buy Michelin or Pirelli tires but I had been hearing good things about these Toyos from the Dealership so I decided to get them. A huge mistake. I live up north in Canada and I have basically no traction on snow or ice and the winter isn't even bad yet. My all seasons perform better than these. I got them studded as well. If I could return them I would. I do not recommend at all, they are terrible. I can't really afford another set of winter tires (paid about $1400 for the tires) but these are so bad I'm going to go buy something else. They are fine on dry and wet roads but not the best.
