The Pirelli Scorpians are brilliant on road - but they cost.

I've got a pair of barely used ones - unfortunately they're 205/80s so you probably wouldn't want them........

I had these before I switched to Goodyear Wrangler AT/S

scropion st £69 online may go for bfg cos peeps reckon they are v.durable and last for miles n miles

I got these on me td5 disco
GENERAL TYRES / 4X4 / GENERAL GRABBER UHP - 255/55R18 109W XL TL :: £91.80 :: 4x4 Tyres - SUV Tyres - All Terrain Tyres - Off Road Tyres :: R18" - 255/55/18, 255/55 R 18 ::

and they are great plenty of grip in the wet no road noise, not bad for mild pulling caravan on wet muddy fields, only had um five months (6000 miles) and still look new.

had good reports about camskill, they delivered next day and it cost me £10 a wheel to have um put on.My rims are 18 inch though.

I had UHPs on mine. No complaints. Shame I did not know you were looking for some as I just sold them for £80

I just put BFG ATs on the Navara double cab. Transformed the ride and handling. Not cheap but my ex-boss got 50k+ out of a set and he had just put a second set (ever) on his LWB Frontera.

Yes I know I swore twice in that reply, but it was worth saying

 

[nathan5346]

thats a shame

Pirelli Scorpions on our D2 V8, 255/65 R16 on 8J rims.

We rarely go anywhere that would need a lot more grip, so they are fine for our needs, and apparently the Michelins with the blocky tread are also highly rated as well.

I've got BFG AT's on one TDi, General AT²'s on the other and General UHP's on my TD5.

ALL very good. The AT's are surprisingly good off-road. The UHP's have remarkable levels of grip on-road, almost unbelieveable for a vehicle of this weight. They are surprisingly good green laning as well.

ive decided to go with the uhp's £86 fitted balanced etc

They certainly have a tread patten that's different.
