Have a set of these on the way to replace some majorly worn tires on a Jeep Liberty that we just bought. Was on the fence about getting dedicated winter tires but we do too much winter off road/trail use. Plus these were on a ridiculous saie at tire rack at the moment.
I've been using them for a couple of months now and have no complaints. I'll have to see what they are like in dirt/mud as well as longevity. In the snow they continue to work well.
Great video! We went up the mountain for some snow several weeks back, and I tried my luck in a recreational park parking lot area that hadn't been plowed. I only have all-seasons, but got scared away when seeing what looked to be about 12" of trampled unplowed snow. My Pathfinder did just great in Auto mode in about 6" of snow. I didn't want to press my luck as I'm very inexperienced in recovering, plus I didn't have any recovery gear (not even a shovel). When my all seasons finally wear down, I'll put these Pirellis in consideration. Thanks!
These are good tires in general, quiet on asphalt, decent performance on gravel and off road, good on the snow as well..the only problem: doesn’t handle very well the extreme cold , in Calgary it’s normal extreme low temperatures for several days-30 C or below, and here is when things gone bad, mine lasted for 50K the interior side walls got damaged and started leaking air because the extreme cold, I switch over BFG KO2 to see how they handle the extreme cold
I'm still using them, but there hasnt been much snow yet this year. I have no way to measure it but I feel the road noise has increased a bit over time. Nothing crazy though. Tread wear has been good, and this year so far in the 4 or 5 inches of snow I've had no problems with them. At this point I would buy them again as long as they were about the same price as the competitor tires like the BFG KOs
@@DIYNorth thank you. I saw them and said I liked the look when we were at a garage and my father said "well, I never know what to get her for Christmas so order her a set." I picked my Navigator up yesterday but I honestly had no idea even what kind of tires it had put on. They weren't cheap but usually I drive myself crazy with research beforehand so your video helped ease my mind. I'm in Mass.
@@JimiandSamanthaafter a year with the BF Goodrich, they are way superior, can handle extremely low temperatures, snow and ice with good grip, still looking brand new after 30k kilometres, definitely I will buy BF Goodrich again
Thanks for the video! I was looking at these for my Silverado to replace my open countries, I would love to get those again but I can’t do $1500 us for tires again lol These seem like decent tires though
I haven't had open countries so I can really compare them, but yes these were a lot less than the BFG KO2. I also got a quote from another shop, and the Nissan Dealership did a price match on them.
good tyres but definitely too noisy; also learned that AT tyres don't do well with hard cornering even at proper pressures as the outer lugs really get chewed up; would probably choose Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 next time for an AT tyre
How would you rate braking and turning on ice vs all season? I usually prefer an all weather tire here in Upper Midwest but may consider these Pirelli AT tires
I found them to be very good in ice and snow. My old tires were very bad so I'd didnt make for a good comparison, bad I had no issues with these in any condition.
I read every damn review I could find on these, so I bought a set for my Ram. They are the worse riding tires I have ever ridden in. I took them back in and they found 2 with excessive runout. It helped, but they are intolerable on the highway (over 35). Even sought out a newly paved street and they still sucked. I know there is something wrong with them, but Discount tire can't fix it. Just a vent, venting at Discount isn't working.
@@DIYNorth Appreciate the reply. No doubt in my mind I am getting some defective tires or Discount has no idea how to balance them. You would have to ride on them to believe it.
I dont find them to be loud. Everyone might have their own definition of that and it also might depend on how much sound deadening is in your vehicle, but from my perspective, no they are not very loud.
Looking to get pirelli scorpion all terrain plus 245/65r17 111t for my Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. We have the Firestone Destination A/T @ almost 90,000 miles and it survived 2022 and 2023 Texas frozen solid ice roads. Just trying to decide whether I should try this or get the firestone destination at2 instead. Have you tried driving on ice with the pirelli?
both of the tires mentioned are good. Yes the weather has been alternating between snow and ice for the last 2 months here. I have had no issues with the Scorpion AT plus. They still are not as good as a dedicated winter tire, but for an all season tire I find them to work very well.
Not on my vehicle. Since the video I've driven about 2000km without issues that you mentioned. Most of the driving was through the Christmas snow storms and I had no problems with the tires. I still like them.
I battistrada degli pneumatici invernali DEVONO raccogliere neve fra le scolpiture del battistrada!!! E' la neve che fa attrito contro la neve che ne determina la tenuta .
È più sfumato di così. Puoi guidare su strade in inverno senza neve, in tal caso avere la neve sui battistrada non migliorerà nulla e potrebbe causare prestazioni peggiori. Fattori importanti sono la capacità della gomma di rimanere morbida e un adeguato disegno del battistrada invernale. La guida invernale presenta una serie di condizioni.
No doughnuts? C’mon! Do a doughnut cam next time! This is my first winter driving RWD XTerra, so far so good, but I need to be easy on the throttle, otherwise I lose traction instantly!
@@DIYNorth I know, I’m just teasing you. Yes, the X is RWD, California truck. The good news is it is rust-free as you can see from my videos, but the bad news is it is only for California weather, lol, not for mud bogs and snow piles. It does ok on the street, but not an overlanding truck for sure
@@MaximumDIYGarage If it has traction control it isn't too bad. With traction control off the Pathfinder becomes a bit difficult to handle in the snow.

I think that you'll be happy with them. I still have them and have no complaints.
I figured this specific tire improved the traction of my half ton truck significantly in heavy rain.
I've found they work well in all conditions
Appreciate the video. The deep snow footage was perfect!
Thanks for checking it out
I have these on my two wheel drive, 5 lug, Tacoma.. they do pretty good in the snow.. I was able to drive around in 14-in snow with them..
We just did some pretty long drives over Christmas with them and the weather has been very bad for driving, they did well.
Have the same tires but on a 2002 pathfinder 5speed. Great tires.
I've been using them for a couple of months now and have no complaints.

A shovel is definitely key if you get stuck in the snow.
I think these Pirelli Tires are worth considering for a set of new All Terrain's
Thanks for the review. Amazon has these tires at a good price sometimes. I’ll probably put these on my 21 Tacoma 4wd. 👍🏻
thanks for watching, I've done a lot of winter driving with them now and still have no complaints about them.

I had no issues in Ottawa, but they are new. If i move back to Edmonton I will find out i guess.
Can you give a comparison update for how the BFGs are working?

I havent had the outer lug issue with these.
@@DIYNorth I started driving in a more relaxed way and that doesn't seem to cause any outer lug issue

@@DIYNorth Appreciate the reply. No doubt in my mind I am getting some defective tires or Discount has no idea how to balance them. You would have to ride on them to believe it.
can you tell me how loud are these on the hwy and dry pavement . I hate the howlers i have now and they are not that aggressive.
I dont find them to be loud. Everyone might have their own definition of that and it also might depend on how much sound deadening is in your vehicle, but from my perspective, no they are not very loud.
They are not loud… and pretty good grip on dry and wet pavement, the only issue is doesn’t handle well extreme cold
@@ZMOA2006 Curious, what did you find in extreme cold? I'm considering these for all year use in Alaska... Thanks

considering this for my 2023 Outback, Would you recommend it for deep snow? am from Canada.
Yes I'm still using them.
They were very good in the snow for a tire that is not a specific snow tire
@@DIYNorth awesome thanks. AWD Outback should do fine with them.
Hi.. I am looking to buy this tire. Can you please tell me if there is any vehicle body damage or lean on corners.
Thanks in advance.

They are good tires in general but doesn’t handle well extreme low temperatures…
Did you notice and loss in fuel mileage?
No, but the old tires were trash and might have also been poor on gas milage
