So far I've been very happy with them - exactly as expected compared to previous revo's I've had... except the ~3MPG loss I took. I was expecting about half of that loss.
How does Pirelli consider the Scorpion ATR an all terrain tire? I think its a good highway tread pattern, but in mud? I like it in rain and on pavement they are very quiet, but when I need to replace them, I won't be buying them.
You should probably do more research on tires, to find what will specifically meet your needs. There are road focused all terrains, dry-focused all-terrains, mud-focused all terrains, and hybrids of all of these categories with equally confusing names and descriptions. Also may be important to remember that all off-road focused tires will perform sometimes very poorly on pavement, if that is at all a concern. It really comes down to your use case what will make sense, there is a good use case for the Scorpion ATR just maybe not for you.

I didn’t especially like the Hankook tire that came on my truck and didn’t even make it 30k miles, so I think it’s pretty common to be disappointed in OEM tires. In the end it’s what Ford chose to install, not anyone else’s decision.
