I have the A/S Pirelli Scorpions on my current SUV and they are great. I can only imagine the A/T ones. The only negative for my Scorpions is that they supposedly wear faster, but it looks like the new ATRs are the highest rated on tirerack.

18" Scorpions. Going into my 4th season with lots of tread left.

I run 18's and I can go pretty much anywhere. Your winters are going to be worse than mine, but I go skiing at 4000-5000 feet with up to a foot of snow and have no problems at all. With 18's, it doesn't look at pathetic as it does with 17's. Good luck whatever you choose.
