Has anyone every tried Pirelli's Scorpian ATR tire? Seems like a great all terrian for a DD with a good ride....

My cousin has those on his pick-up they seem like a fair tire they ride nice and seem to be good off road but that is the limit of my experiance with them.

They are ok, pricey too. For AT tires I would recommend Bridgestone Dueler AT/s (REVO's or 695s) or Dayton Timberline A/T's

DONT DO IT!!!!! i got them and i hate them, they are horrible in the snow and they dont clean out very well from what ive seen on mine, they are so bad that i can feel the snow caked on them because they dont clean out. so with light snow just imagine how they would be with mud

Stay far far away from them. They are total crap tires. They sucked on and off road and found them subpar with rain and snow. I am glad I was able to get rid of them so fast.

They are nowhere near worth the money. I switched from them to Yokohama Geolander ATs and i love em to death. They have handled great on several 400 mile trips from Va to NJ, and I have put em through the mud several times and they did pretty good. Can't talk bad about em when they get ya as far as a 05 F250 Powerstroke on 35s.

I really like mine. I just got a brand new set of 4. It rides smooth, quiet. I had no problems in the recent rains in SoCal with traction. Haven't taken it 4wheeling yet though. For street use, they're great so far!
