After 36k miles on the BFG KO2s they were getting rather lumpy, noisy and down to about 4-5/32nds so it was time. Did a lot of research and found the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus in the stock size 315/70R17 - and decided they were a good choice for my driving style.
Pirelli’s new SCORPION™ ALL TERRAIN PLUS offers light truck and SUV drivers a durable, high performance driving experience in a wide range of challenging on or off road conditions. The product feature a self cleaning pattern aimed at increasing integrity while delivering excellent wet, snow, and mud traction.
These are E-rated tires, so heavier duty sidewalls - not the best for MUD and crawling, but then again my truck is 90% road so I won't be that concerned. The tire comes with a 50k warranty as well, as compared to the BFG KO2 - with no warranty.
The feel on the highway is excellent, and these tires are nearly silent. Maybe it was just the wear on the KO2 but it was like riding in a 747 - you had that constant drone of the tires...
A little cheaper than the KO2, and 50k warranty - plus all the features - time will tell if these were a good switch!
