So i know the scorpions are a crappy tire, i knew that i would replace them before i bought the truck, however i didn't think they were this bad in the dirt. I had them in snow and with 4x4 they were fine, nothing to write home about but they got the job done. Until today that is.

I have a rather skinny driveway, and in order to comfortably fit the F150 and the Mustang side by side, i park the F150 with 2 wheels on the dirt. It rained a bit last night, turning this dirt a bit damp, but no problem for a truck, right?

Wrong. I got about 5 feet up my driveway, and got stuck. Literally stuck. One wheel on the paved driveway, one on the dirt is enough for these tires to give up. I didn't bother putting it in 4x4 and just parked in the driveway, but not before i managed to park the mustang in the exact spot the F150 got stuck. I will grab that picture later, for now i leave you with these. Guess i will be making a discounttiredirect purchase in the next few hours.

The whole picture, one tire was in the mud you see, one on pavement.



Apparently this is enough to get stuck in...

EDIT: Made it in the Mustang. haha.

Hah, I remember when I got stuck with my Pirellis.






Naturally, it took a lot of washing to get that mud off.

We were having fun until I drove into a swamp that I thought was hard ground underneath 6 inches of water. Never doing that with my personal truck again, lol.

Did you use the E-locker?? I'm not saying they are a great tire but in 4x4 or even with just the e-locker they've done pretty good.

With that said my toyo proxies were better than these and they are far from a mud tire, haha. They were on an AWD Silverado SS though.

I don't think you can lock the diff in 2wd though can you? Even so, i could of just thrown it in 4x4 but not the point.

You can lock the diff in 2WD, I do it all the time. Go to the truck apps screen, then the off road screen, and while in park on that screen click 'ok' and a bunch of descriptions for each function will show up

News to me. I guess i'll have to next time...

Still can't believe i need to lock the dif to back up into my driveway. Kinda funny.

My 2014 Platinum came with Bridgestone tires.
