My bone stock 94 XLT has seen lots of miles (185K) and lots of abusive 4x4 trails (in Colorado and Texas). I've run Scorpions for about 85k miles since 1998 on wet and dry pavement, dirt, mud, ice, snow (up to 2 feet), and on wet and dry rocks (where these tires really shine). I have yet to have any problems with traction. I've never "aired down" on the trail for traction and even at full street pressure, I can out climb BFG equipped trucks. I give much of the credit to the tires.
While rock crawling in Colorado, I put a quarter inch deep cut in the sidewall (jagged granite will do that) without losing pressure. Even when I did lose pressure in one tire (ran over a broken knife blade) the side walls where strong enough to support the truck. I thought the tire looked about 10 pounds low, when in fact it had 0 psi.
On road, the tires are relatively quiet and offer a smooth ride and great handling, even at 80 mph.
If the tire has any weak point, it would be on-road wear. They don't last as long as more pavement minded tires. I got about 35-40k miles out of them, but considering the abusive conditions, I was impressed. For the price, you just can't beat the Scorps.
I swear by these tires. For my current set, I went up from 235/75 to 31x10.50. With a couple of extra inches on these tremendous tires, I intend to shame even bigger Jeeps on even tougher trails.

Just to clearfy i have the Pireilli Scorpions AT-R's, And i am rather convinced there is really not much of a better tire for the price range. At 125 bucks a tire, they are great, i have a stock 2000 5.0 explorer and they are hands down 10 times better than the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. Quiet Ride and Unbelievable traction. Ive taken my ex through 2 feet of snow recently with no serious loss of traction, At 1 foot depth i didn't spin any tread at all, going uphill with leaves under the snow. I will never buy a different tire for my truck again. My tread life has been good so far, i do mostly highway driving and with about 10,000 miles ive lost at most about 3/16's of the tread. Handling Kicks ass with these too, with my wranglers exit ramps where i could only do a maximum of 35 on i can now do 50. Very Secure feeling.
