From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The General Grabber A/T2 (and its successor, the ATX) is widely regarded as a high-value, rugged all-terrain tire that excels in snow, ice, and off-road conditions. While most users praise its aggressive aesthetic, durability, and superior winter performance compared to more expensive competitors, some report issues with road noise, fuel economy, and a tendency for the tread to retain small rocks.
Pros
- Exceptional traction in deep snow, ice, and mud
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium brands like BFG
- Rugged, aggressive aesthetic with effective rim protection
- Strong durability and long tread life for many users
- Surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride on pavement for an all-terrain tire
Cons
- Tread pattern prone to picking up and throwing small rocks
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy (MPG)
- Occasional reports of premature tread wear or tires going out of shape
- Increased road noise, particularly as the tire ages
- Some users report poor wet-weather grip on specific road surfaces
Observations
- Heavy-duty truck owners (2500/3500 series) report good stability while towing, though proper inflation pressure is critical to avoid a 'floating' or swaying sensation.
- Users on smaller SUVs or crossovers occasionally report faster tread wear and higher noise levels compared to truck applications.
- Load Range E variants are highly recommended for those frequently towing heavy trailers to maintain structural integrity.
The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus is widely regarded as a high-performing, versatile tire that successfully balances aggressive off-road aesthetics and capability with refined on-road manners. Users frequently praise its exceptional wet and winter weather traction, noting that it remains surprisingly quiet and comfortable for its category, often positioning it as a superior alternative to more common industry competitors.
Pros
- Excellent traction in snow, ice, and wet conditions
- Surprisingly low road noise for an all-terrain tread pattern
- Strong off-road performance in mud and loose gravel
- High value-to-performance ratio compared to premium competitors
- Aggressive, aesthetically pleasing sidewall and tread design
Cons
- Occasional reports of difficult balancing or persistent vibrations
- Some users noted a slight decrease in fuel economy
- Minor instances of tread chipping or cutting under heavy use
- Inconsistent ride comfort reported by a small minority of users
Observations
- Users with full-size trucks and SUVs (e.g., Silverado, Suburban, Tundra) frequently highlight the tire's ability to maintain a quiet cabin during long-distance highway driving.
- Owners of off-road-oriented vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and Nissan Xterra report significant improvements in handling and confidence compared to stock or dedicated mud-terrain tires.
- One user noted a significant installation challenge when attempting to fit R16 tires onto 18-inch rims, emphasizing the importance of correct sizing.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
