Goodyear Adventure with Kevlar
Just wanted to tell someone who would understand....the wife doesn't. I am SO happy to be rid of my Scorpions! This is the happiest day of truck ownership since the day I brought it home.
No more slipping from a dead stop. No more loud hum on the highway and I suspect much less 4x4 in the winter. I'll be sure to update that part once the snow hits up here.
Went with the Goodyear Adventures in the OEM 20 size. Was going to get the Michelin M/S 2 but got a good deal on the goodyears. Plus they have a slightly more aggressive tread so imo they look better. Hopefully they don't kill my already not so great mileage.
Anyway, I'll send an update once I go thru some decent snow.

Nice choice! I was at the store with my mind set on getting the Duratracs and ended up letting them talk me into the Adventure All Terrain. The owner had a Platinum with then and the service adviser had them on his Expedition. Both had nothing but good things to say. Before biting the bullet I went back and did some research and saw enough good reviews to go back and buy them. I had Firestone Destination A/Ts and they were great until the sidewalls started to crack. Based on specs/reviews I believe I made the right choice. The Adventure also has a bonus 60k mile tread warranty.

Here is a quick picture of them on his Expedition. I really liked the tread design and all of the siping that they come with. Hopefully the perform as well as they look.

Those are good looking tires! I wanted to get them but I ended up getting Cooper AT3's for $55/tire less so I couldn't justify that much difference. I will be interested to see how these perform for you.

Probably next year I will replace them - with the Adventures of course.

I was the same price with an alignment. Not a cheap tire, but that wasn't my 1st concern. Hopefully they hold up for me. It's been raining here for 2 days and no spinning from a dead stop on wet pavement like the Scorpions. That's a nice treat.
