Has any one run these on their cars? I have them on the rears. They appear to have fairly low miles. Scorpions are truck tires, so I am not sure what to make of it. Pirelli's web site calls them all season sport truck tires, but looking at them I am not so sure.

My fronts need replaced, and are currently BFG KDWS. I don't like to have mixed sets front and back.

The joys of buying a used car. :D

They are slightly wider/taller than the stock rears and slightly lower (but not by much-149 mph) speed rating. I'd just run 'em. Maybe get p-zeros in the correct size for the front?

Does the car have traction control? That can complicate things. If you don't have it you can just get a maching pair for the front. If you do have it, you must maintain the stagered tire sizes front to back even if it means running two different treads.

I have p-zeros on the front and they are pretty great so far.

I had Pzero nero's. They get LOUD as eff at about 5 or 6/32s.

I put Pirelli Scorpions on my 2000 SUV.......:mad2:
They were great for about 15,000 miles then they got to be THE NOISIEST tires I have ever owned.
I got rid of them well before the tread was gone because of the noise.
WAY TOO MUCH $$$$ for the crappy performance.....THEY SUCKED!
Because of those Scorpions, I won't buy Pirellis again!

Scorpion is their SUV line of tires. Why bother when there are other choices especially if your changing from the factory size anyway.

Scorpions are NG - I had same results as Joe Walsh!

Short term, I think they will stay, but long term they are going to go. I will have to take a picture, but they look sort of wierd on the car. The center of the tire has reasonable tread, but the shoulders have small lugs almost. I guess it would be ok on a truck, but it is odd on the car.

When you get into the tire size on the Marauder your in the "sport truck" or "SUV" range.

They have a fair amount of tread left, but look odd to me.

They are pretty bad. When I walked up to it the first time, before I looked at them and saw they were truck tires, i wondered if they were some kind of crazy snows with the huge side lugs.

I might run them through the winter, as they are supposed to be all seasons, but they will have to go by spring.

I am already learning that. I am still trying ot get my mind wrapped around the better alternate sizes.
