“What tires? What tires are you guys using on your Atlas? My factory tires are getting low, probably going to need to get new ones mid to late summer this year. I only use the factory 265/45R21 Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season during the warmer months. During the winter I have a different set that I use. 2022 VR6”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
