Default which tires?

Right now I have pirelli scorpion zeros and I really like them but was wondering what you guys thought about these other brands. I'm considering:


Kumho ECSTA STX 420 A A

Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico 420 A A

Sumitomo HTR Sport H/P 480 A A


LMK what you guys think about these diffent brands, pros and cons. TIA

On my truck ived used the following:
Stock ameritrac Generals 16" = SUCK, way too soft, wore down fast
Falken Ziex STZ 16" = Good tire, cheap, and durable enough.

and for my 20's I have only had one tire, Kumho ECSTA STX 420 A A, as you mentioned above. I like the Kumhos, they get good traction even in wet roads, decent on icy conditions, and excelent on dry. Before the 20's I would chirp tires very easily and traction was a problem, but 45lb wheels and 32lb tires later Im doing a bit less of that lol. I'd like to think part of it is the better tire width and tread pattern, but I think mostly due to the extra weight.

Oh, and for the Kumhos, they are directional tire tread, so rotations can be a little more of a pain.
