All Season vs All Terrain Tires Tested: Do You Actually Need an All Terrain? Not ranked

The Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is a road-focused all-season with far more off-road ability than it looks. It matched the all-terrain in the sand, was quicker on hard dirt and went everywhere the XTM AT went on the trail, while being better in the wet and dry, quieter, more comfortable and cheaper to run. The catch is durability: after the same off-road work it looked worn out while the all-terrain looked fresh. Buy it if your truck mostly lives on the road and only sees occasional dirt roads and easy trails.
