New Members Say Hi! / Need help choosing tires.
I have two sets of wheels/tires for my Golf — one with General Grabber AT3s and the other with Pirelli Scorpion Verde.
The AT3s are currently on the car. They’ve performed really well; most of my driving is on country roads and light trails, and they handle snow and mud surprisingly well.
However, I’ve never driven them more than 50 miles on the highway. I’ve read they’re not ideal on ice or for braking on wet roads. How safe would they be for a long winter highway drive?
There’s so much mud here right now that it wouldn’t make sense to change them until the trip begins. I usually put the Scorpions on for long highway trips, but only in summer.
The AT3s are clearly better for twisting country roads and snowy conditions, but for a 600-mile (≈960 km) high-speed trip, would it be wiser to use the Scorpions?
