All terrain tires

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
Agreed with everything here.

And while strange, it is common to have a non-standard version of a tire for use as the OEM tire on a specific vehicle. The Cybertruck was one of those as well IIRC. Something about it being a normal tire, but with already-reduced tread depth for better mileage? Either way, its surprisingly common.

I do hope that we get these options from the factory:
  • "burly" All Season Tires
    • Likely the best choice if you don't think you'll ever really go off of pavement (or gravel).
  • "On Road" Biased All Terrain Tires
    • A good choice if you predominantly drive on pavement, but do actually venture off pavement enough to pay the efficiency hit. I'd call these the "I drive on lots of crappy forest service roads, but don't do "trails" with the vehicle tire.
  • "Off road" Biased All Terrain Tires
    • You actually offroad/take it on trails with some regularity. You want the grip, and durability of real AT tires.

I'd probably be most interested in the "on road" biased AT tires. Because while I do actually get off pavement, since I'm not doing "trail riding at the moment, the on road biased AT's are probably my jam.

My Jeep has a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's that fit the bill pretty well (and are actually quite quiet for what they are, way quieter than the Duratracks I had on them before), but I'm not set on them at all. But would probably want something in the same realm as them as my preferred tired. But the BFG AT3 is great as well, and I wouldn't be unhappy with that.

Example of "on road" biased AT tire.

I had these on my Power Wagon. They were a good tire, especially for a HD truck.

Depends on where in my ranch I am. I have managed to get stuck in black dirt, and wet clay, and watched others get stuck axle deep in soft sand. My whole life has been learning curves of where not to drive in certain conditions. But the wet grass issue was just embarrassing. I was not dug in, just had -0- traction.

My SxS, old Jeep and Tacoma tend to do a lot better than full sized trucks, or worse yet 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. They tend to float over bad patches rather than dig in and stop.
