Pirelli Scorpions in the rain

[alaskaman]

ok. finally rained in Sacramento. usual tests.

40 to stop - no slippage (new pavement)

40 to stop - abs kicked in twice (uneven pavement)

tried to break the rear free in 2WD mode coming on the freeway and from a stop. grip was tight could not swing out back end.

start from light with full throttle. no wheel spin.

can hardly wait for snow.

Thanks for the update. How they do in snow is my concern. The only other concern is how well they do after 35K miles, in bad weather.

I am interested in trying them on my '07 Sport. Oregon gets snow and all kinds of stuff, even though this is my daily driver. I see chain notices on the way to work in the city down south. Will see if my 4X4 is OK for that stretch of road.

weather service forecast is for storm here and in the routes to Reno/Tahoe. If so will post details on performance and pics.
