With an overwhelming number of really great at tires out there it's hard to find the perfect one. The same review site recently mentioned the new Pirelli Scorpion XTM A\T that seem to click all the boxes for both on-road and off-road. Currently driving a Trailhunter 4Runner and the Toyo Open country tires. While the Toyo tires are actually really good on road, driving in the San Juan mountains of Colorado on trail they weren't great in snow and slush. I know an upgrade would be BF Goodrich ko3s but I'm concerned about the extra weight and difficulty in balancing them. It looks like the Pirelli scorpion tires clicks all the boxes, anyone have any experience with these? So far it looks like the tire reviewers really like them but they've only recently become available in more sizes.

Dueler A/T Ascent is a sore miss, and approaches near Blizzak levels of grip in the snow:

that poor rating on the Falken Wildpeaks is disappointing.

I agree, I've watched several other reviews with similar results and it's disappointing.

even more disappointing is seeing that I need 15 inch wheels for the Mickey Thompsons

I guess I will keep the Falken Wildpeaks I have on my 6th gen for now but next year I will probably replace them

Well the Mickey Thompsons at that size are unnecessary. That is unless you drive your vehicle 100% off-road.

oh I realize that..I just couldn't find any to fit the OEM wheels on my TRD ORP

That is wild. Blizzaks are SO good. At here in the PNW, above like 3000-4000ft.
