Original thread
Over time many contributions have been made to this thread and I an consolidating all pictures here on the first page:
Kumho's Road Venture MT KL71
quote="lighthammer"]Here's why I like Pirelli so much...
A side-by-side comparison between my brand-new Pirelli Scorpion ATR and my dad's 4-year old Pirelli Scorpion STR:
He's got about 45,000 - 55,000km's on those Pirelli Scorpion STR's (which he bought in Pricesmart back in 2007) and he does 99% highway driving. He doesn't drive the L200 hard, and he does the alignment/rotating regularly, roughly every 7,000 - 10,000km.
Every review I've read has praised the Pirelli's for their outstanding tread-life, plus that lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
The Scorpion ATR's have a treadwear rating of 520. I didn't have a ruler or caliper on me at the time but I used a $0.25c piece to show you how deep the treads are:
The outside treads
The center treads
And for comparison, the tread-depth on the Dunlop Grantrek AT20's (highway tyres).

I will need to outfit my L200 with some new rubber, not too long after I get her.
current tyres are the original showroom Bridgestone Duelers on the original rims
what economy class tyres would you guys recommend
usage as follows:
mainly street
off road occasionally
need to maintain traction in the wet
I want something that will not cause me to be stranded in the occasional bit of mud or sand
Not talking bout serious off-road rubber - the kinda thing TTORC men does use to cross river and thing
don't have too much of an idea of the $ so guide me here
avg around $700 - $800 or less
Posted it here to avoid it getting lost in the Diesel Maintenance thread and be easily found by others needing the same info
Lemme hear you guys

what u guys think? any1 had any experiences with this tire?
i doubt i cud do any serious off roading with this tire, its more suited for highway driving..still looking most likely i would have to buy A/T tires online

Pirelli Scorpion ATR's - 265/70R16
Got it from Automotive Components, who are the authorized dealers for Pirelli in Trinidad.

I chose this tyre for several reasons. The main reason was that it's overall diameter (235/60R16) closer matched the factory tyres that came with my Grand Vitara. The benefits of this are better acceleration and fuel economy. Also, it had excellent reviews no matter where you looked..
The main downside is that it is very short! Especially when compared to what you guys typically use.. So ground clearance for me is compromised..
