How's she goin' eh?
But at some point it melts underneath and becomes smaller then the bed. Then it moves around and makes noise. OCD people go insane

I've tried to lose wet traction in my Michelin ATs (for uh, testing purposes) and can only do it when I push enough where I'd lose traction on dry concrete, too. And these aren't even rated that high for wet. I did manage to skid somewhat easily in 2-3" of water.

Um, no offense to you, but there are plenty of tires that are not like this, that sounds like a horrible tire! You might absolutely love a better tire. The Alenza, for instance, is a great dry/highway tire, and still has good wet and decent snow traction.

They came on the first set I bought to put on my 2005. Then they came on the 2010 FX4 and my 2014 of course has them.
Now that I know I'm keeping this truck, I won't be putting Pirelli's back on. I haven't made a decision yet, but I definitely know it won't be the Scorpion's.
At the very least and it's nothing to brag about. I can speak from experience about how these tires are.

Thanks for all of the great input. Born & raised in Michigan and drove those winter roads for many years. Been living in Alaska for the last 11 so I know winter driving and agree with all of you about not driving like an idiot. Wasn't sure about the pickup aspect but you guys have enlightened me. Thanks again.
Best combo I've found are Blizzak studdless snow tires and about 360lbs of sand in the back. It's as close to driving on dry pavement you can get.
