yeah, if you google Pirelli Scorpion ATR, you come up with good reviews from a Tundra Forum and 4Wheel & Off-Road magazine to name a few...

I thought about the Scorps for the Taco -- doesn't seem like a lot of folks run those on these trucks....

they just don't look terribly aggressive to me... hmm
