Pirelli Scorpion ATR review

[rhyary]

I put on Pirelli Scorpion ATR last week and took a 400 miles trip.
Some of the trip was in hard rain. Tires were great. No off-road yet.
Better then the Michelin LTX they replace, but the LTX were old.
The ATR do not skip while going thru a turn at 55 miles per hour and encountering a bump. Also they are inflated to 35 PSI vs the LTX which at 35 PSI were skipping so I had to run the LTX at 32 PSI which was too soft.
The only draw back is a somewhat higher road noise and some vibration going into the cabin on specific roads.
I selected the Scorpion ATR because it seems to me that they will be a better road tire then other all-train tires. My primary objective was to get a road tire that can do off-road.
Will let you know how they do in the snow when we get some.

As a reminder, I am running the OME OEM hight suspension.

Tread pattern...pics?

I would like to see what these look like. Got tread pics?

This vibration you described, is it balance or tread reacting to road?

You can see the tire on www.tirerack.com
The wheels are balanced.
The vibration is more like a buzz that comes form the tread.
After few days with the tires the buzz is less noticeable but compairs to the LTX it is there.

Are the ATR's a P metric size or an LT size? If they are a P-metric then 35 psi is fine, if they are a LT you need to add 10 psi to the stock pressure to have them be properly inflated, so 42 psi minimum for a stock size replacement.
