Anybody running the Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires? If so how do you like them? Any pics?
I was looking at new 285 tires and Im happy with the Nitto's and would like to get them again but there on back order and the pirelli's are available.
Thanks!

I got'em in 265, they're AWESOME! Real smooth and quiet on the road. Lots of grip, real good handling for ATR . Real tough offroad. What I really like about them is the speed rating is above most A/T tires.

One thing that I saw when I was doing research on tires was that the Scorpions would develop flat spots if the truck sat for too long in cold weather which would make a vibration going down the road.
