BFG rugged trail or Prelli scorpion

Need new skin's. Talked to a pal's son yesterday for 1/2 hr. on tires ( He is a tire store owner ) We came down to these two the BFG are $820 out the door with 100$ back he will take the 100$ card off so they are 720$. The Prelli's are 740$ and I'm gone. It's flip a coin for me they are both high on the rate scale and I like the look's of both. If you have the BFG OR THE SCORPION'S tell if you would buy them next time out... Thank's for your time,Jim

 

THANK'S Ben, I no longer off road the truck so the new tires will be 99% on the road. I did get stuck last year in the rain trying to pull the travel trailer in to the hunt camp. Had to get the owner's tractor to pull me out . No more sport truck tire's for me...Jim

 

I had the scorpions on my old Dodge, and they ran good in all conditions but snow, but seeing you are in FLA, does not seem to be a problem. they wore great and had good manners.

 

Thank's, I'm looking at other threads on the BFG's and not liking what folks are saying on the rugged trail's. With only 800 bean's in the tire kitty it's looking like it's the Prelli's... Jim

 

Why are you only interested in these two models of tires?

My wife's Corolla has Pirelli's and they are great... as a street tire. I looked at the Scorpions to replace the Rugged Fails, but they didn't give me the mojo I want along with a good working truck tire... I went with Hankook Dynapros and am very very happy with them.

 

neither ...ive run both and there are much better options....bridgestone dueler revo's,nitto terra grapplers,toyo open countrys,hankook dynapros......

 

I got my Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 2's for around $800 installed. Firestone Destination are another good truck tire for $800. I think there are better tires than the Pirelli's and BFG Rugged fails.

 

OP, what size?

 

Called the tire man and asked about Brigestone AT revo2's. Called back with 840$ less 100$ card he will take so they are 740$ out the door.. I think the hunt is over, yes or no... Thanks, Jim

 

265 70 17 Jim

 

yes there an awsome tire that look s good.......stable even at 100+mph smooth quiet,real good in snow,best tire in rain ive ever used...go for it you wont be disapointed...then go and find someone with the 2 tires you were gonna get and show them what they should buy next time

 

After bugging the crap out of tire man he will put me on a set of Mich. LTX M&S., 831$ out the door. Need to do them by the end of the Mo. as a good spike ^ in price is coming on almost all name brand's the 1 of Oct.. THANK'S ALL, Jim

 

The Michelin LTX M/S are what all the ambulances run. I had them on my truck originally. Quiet as all hell, phenomenal traction when dry and wet. Suck in snow and ice. Again as was mentioned in Florida...doubt that's a problem.

Good choice on the tires Jim, you're gonna like them, guaranteed.

 

Had the same tires on my 99 taco 4x4 and loved em, nice hiway ride and never got pulled out of some real bad sand and mud. When I sold the truck they were 5 y.o. and still looked new. I real happy as I got what I wanted and only 31$ over what I had to in the kitty for new tires... Jim

 

Tire prices are going up?

Glad you found your tires.

 

Mich's by 10% Oct. 1.. If you need tires get them by the end of the Mo. almost all are going up. Jim

 

Had the Scorpions on an F150 Supercrew. Worst tires I ever had. Have had the Revo's on (2) separate vehicles and they are the best tire I've ever had, though they don't necessarily have that 'bad-ass' look if that is important to you.

Dealer out here quoted me $702 OTD for a set of (4) Toyo Open Country AT's in that size. I went with the Toyo's in a 285. Couldn't be happier.

Met up with a guy yesterday who had a 2010 with 15,000 miles and the tires were worn so bad I thought they had 50k on em...unreal. POS tires for sure
