Scorpion AT+ or Wrangler HP?
Totally different tyres I know but I have narrowed down to these.
I can get 4 Wrangler delivered tomorrow for £420
The Scorpion AT+ are £546 delivered later in the week.
Wrangler were OE for some LR but I do like the look of the AT+ and the ATR is highly rated.
I like the price of the Wrangler and I am concerned about the ratings on the AT+ but it seems many aggresive tyres have low wet grip ratings yet in reality they perform well.IID PRO

Just purchased and fitted 2 Scorpion AT+ so you can guess where my vote goes
IMO tread pattern looks great

I had a D4 delivered with Wranglers. No doubt whatsoever in my mind that they were the very worst tire I've ever had. Used them brand new in rain and snow (I know they're not a winter tire) and they were shocking compared with Pirelli Scorpion on my other D4 (both ordered at the same time, so no idea why the difference). I found that road holding in the dry was also far worse.
My view is based on two almost identical cars (an HSE with the Pirellis and the SE with the the Wrangler) with same mileage and driven the same way.
I've since switched to Pirelli ATR and much prefer them over anything else.
Hoping to try the ATR+ soon.PAGODA

I've ordered the Scorpion AT+, I think they are coming from Germany. The price has been fluctuating daily by up £20 a tyre but I got them this morning for £135 each delivered which I think is a good result. The tyres alone are £166 from Black Circles and the £11.50 delivery but that is next day delivery and I do use them for my other tyres.IID PRO

Strangely I went the otter way, put a part worn set of Wranglers on at 6mm replacing a worn out set of Scorps and they were a mega improvement on the Scorps. Until I put ATRs on. The discerning tyre.
