Pirelli Tires
#11
I just took the Pirelli's off my truck a few weeks ago and went with the Cooper Zeon LTZ's and I love them. My experience from the ATR's is that they wore faster than I expected and I really didnt have a problem with traction. Never really took them offroad since I have a 2WD. I wouldn't say I didn't like them but I probably wouldn't go back with Pirelli. I hear good things about the BFG's too, little pricey though

The traction is ok but they are the most vibrating tire I have ever seen. Also they wear extremely fast on gravel. Was going to go with the Coopers, but a guy got new michelins on his truck and his set of pirellis from the factory had more tread than mine and they were free so I figured I would put up with these crap *** tires till next summer and hope money is better then.

I bought a set of the Scorpion ATRs used with about 10K miles on them for $300 when moving from 18s to 20s. I've put another 35,000 miles on them and have no issues. The 'squares' come from a flat spotting tendency many have reported - especially in the frozen north, but I've never experienced it here down south (LA).
They're quiet, ride smooth and I've gotten very good wear out of them - I do rotate routinely and watch the pressure.
I'd love to find another good set of used ones to replace these with so if anyone is selling, let me know.

I just replaced a set of ATR's with another set. I love them. I live in Southern Ontario where it get cold. I have no flat spot problems. Great traction but to help things along I put 300 lbs of sand in the back and my truck drives like it is on dry pavement.
See my thread on Tire Flaws I bet folks the are having trouble with these tires are being sold New but Old tires that have been sitting for a few years. If you bought them from Sears this could be the problem. Check the manufacturing date on them.

Ive got the ATR's on my truck and i hate them...noisy(relatively speaking), traction blows when the road is wet and so far, they're proving to have not so great tread life.
It will be the last set of Pirellis i put on a vehicle...
