I am in need of a set of tires for my new wheels. After looking at tirerack I have narrowed the choices down to either the Pirelli Scorpion Zero at ~$120 per tire or the Kuhmo Ecsta STX at $88 per tire. Both are V rated and the load ratings are the same. Does anyone have experience with these tires. I will buy them in either 275/60/17 or 265/60/17. My truck is a 2WD which sees a dirt parking lot at most, but I do tow a car trailer with it.

 

Have you looked at the Goodyear, GT2's? I've got 275/60/17's on my truck with a three inch drop in the rear and it looks good. I also tow a 26ft enclosed car trailer with it ...they feel good with a trailer...

No, haven't looked at those. I'll check them out. My truck is stock height in the front with 2" bell tech drop shackles in the back.

 

If you drive hard the Scorpion Zeros are going to wear real fast. A buddy of mine has a set of Kumhos on his 97 Cobra and they have been some really good tires for how cheap they are. I dont know if the STXs are the same compound or tread pattern but maybe that will help in your decision a little.

 

do the kumhos get good traction for a dig? my friend has the goodyear GT2s and they hook damn well on his truck with the traction bars. i got traction bars with my stocker wheels/tires and they will still spin a good bit.
