That's what I narrowed the tire for me. Regards Sal

Last year I bought a (2019) TRD ORP and my intention has been to essentially turn it into a TRD Pro without paying the Pro premium.

Today my wheels came in so I went down to Discount Tire to have my stock wheels/Blizzaks switched out for the new summer set up.

I went with the relatively new Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires in stock size and these tires are mostly what I wanted to post about since I haven't seen many people on this forum using them. I wanted a street biased AT tire that looks good, behaves well on the pavement and that would do fine for some very mild off roading. I don't go mudding or rock crawling, just a little running around the UT desert and dirt roads/fire roads for camping.

This is pretty much how Pirelli marketed this tire so I hope it will be a good fit, designed for a similar market segment as Nitto Terra Grappler. I don't want to start an internet pissing contest but frankly I just have more faith in Pirelli as a tire company than Nitto. I'm hoping the Scorpions have better wet handling than the reports I've heard about the Terra Grapplers. Time will tell, hopefully I'm right, maybe I screwed up - we'll see.

In the first 50 miles of mixed city and highway driving up to 75 mph I can tell you two things:

1. They balanced well - the ride is smooth, no wobble, shimmy etc.
2. They aren't a loud tire. Obviously this can change over time but right now they are no louder than the Blizzaks I had on over winter or the Bridgestones that came from the dealer.

Obviously I haven't had the chance to use them in varied conditions or put many miles on them so the jury is still out but so far I don't have any complaints. I'll try to update this as the miles increase but that will happen slowly, it's a second vehicle for me and my accord gets most of the commuting miles.
