Has anyone else fitted these?
I need to replace my Pirelli Scorpion ATRs (which I love!) but since the new one came out, I cant find any anywhere for any sensible price so am looking at the Dueler AT001, Falken
AT3WA, or Vredestein Quatrac 5.
I think the new Scorpion AT + is too much off-road for me; ideally I'm looking for an 80/20 road/off-road split...
Has anyone had experience of the above three tyres?

Hi chaps, looking for advice concerning the Pirelli AT+
How are they on-road, especially in the wet? I'm considering buying a full set of these in the next few weeks for our newly acquired D3.
The ratings would suggest that they're awful in the wet, but all the reviews I read say they're good... bit torn.
I'll be doing mostly on-road miles unless I'm specifically off-road to play, but also want good snow/ice performance and the 3PMSF for occasional last minute weekend trips to the alps and the like
My thoughts were that here in the south-west of England, I'm more likely to encounter wet and flooded roads than snowwy ones.
I'm looking to keep them on all year round as I can justify either one really good set of tyres, or two cheap/part-worn ones.
Thanks!

I have the Pirelli AT+ on my RRS SDV6 and they're fine on road in the wet. If you're mostly on road, I'd say the Grabber AT3 is better although both get a bit slippy in the wet when worn to 4mm although the AT+ is slightly better. The AT3 slightly better when new/only partially worn.. I've had both and think they're both very good tyres. They're AT so not as good on road as a pure road tyre, but if you remember that and account for it, they're both very good tyres. AT3 good in snow. Haven't tried the AT+ in snow but I'd expect them to perform well enough.
Oh, and I've used both all year round and both are fine in summer too.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I don't drive like a maniac so hopefully I won't be pushing it to the limits anyway, I'm hoping that a brand new set of these will perform better than my mismatched and worn aging tyres in any case. I'm normally just low mileage round town then lots of miles on big trips a couple of times a year - Norway last time.
The 3PMSF is a must for me, I think I'll give these a go and see how we get on

I do sometimes release the inner hot hatch kid and the AT+ does respond. It will wear the shoulders if you lean on them too hard, but then they're AT not sports tyres so that's fair enough. Other than that, they're very good tyres.
I replaced the front pair recently and the price had gone up by about £30 so expect a decent bill for 4.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I’ve been driving AT+ since the summer. While the winter hasn’t been much to write about here in Helsinki there has been snow and ice. I decided to not change to studded tires this year and so far haven’t ended up in a ditch
All in all I do like them whether on highway (max 120 km/h), on a smaller trail through the forest. Haven’t ever been uncomfortable with them either and would buy again. Mine are 255/55R19.

They're no longer showing on Cooper's UK website, although they are still on the US site. So likely the LTZ is now an obsolete tyre in the UK. Probably the A/T3 Sport replaces it in the line up.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Shame the Cooper Zeon LTZ are no longer available here, been a good tyre. If BFG A/T where available in a 19" there would be no decision, best tyre I had on other vehicles. Decided to try the Cooper Discoverer AT3 Sport 2 this time round.

Hi all, Have myself a LR3 out in the middle east, and tyres in the 255/55/19 are, basically non existent for A/T.
Are 255/60R19 suitable enough with the same tyres listed in this post? loads/performances etc. I've found a few google searches saying that going to the 60 won't cause any suspension/rubbing issues, but found some weird stuff about the larger profile heaving weaker sidewalls and so not as suitable especially off road. (highway, with sand and rock as the off roading, potentially some through water bits)
Also, anyone fitted 255/60R19 and have a full size underslung spare? any issues in that department?

Hi guys...
Can anyone give some more feedback on the Cooper AT3 Sport2's? Please. I have the Cooper ATT, been great, but need to replace soon, and I think the Sport 2 may be the better tyre?
Thanks
