Best all weather tyre for an X-Trail?
My X-Trail is fitted with 215/60/17/H Dunlop ST 20 Grandtrek on rear and Bridgestone Dueller HP Sport on front (which need replacing soon).
I am considering either these or Pirelli Scorpion STR or General Grabber AT2 as replacements to cater for year round use in all weathers, including limited track and gentle off road work across a farm. I had AT2s before and they were very good, but are they far less fuel efficient on long road journeys?

Pirelli Scorpion are fantastic, but there are five different types.
The most recent addition is the innovative Scorpion Verde™: the first high performance “green” tyre, specifically for SUV’s and crossovers.
Scorpion ATR is the all terrain tyre; versatile in all situations it is precise on the road whilst having excellent off road capabilities.
Scorpion STR is for modern SUVs; designed for mainly on road use, but also suited to moderate off-road use.
Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, with its sporting performance, is the best choice for changeover and dynamically tuned cars. .
Scorpion Ice & Snow is ideal for luxury SUVs when driving on snow; noted for its speed ratings up to 240 km/h, it ensures excellent comfort and driving pleasure.
