Pirelli Scorpion XTM AT on 18” TRD wheels

[Calokie]

Here’s some pics showing the slight poke. To me this looks good and doesn’t sling a bunch of mud up the side of the vehicle. I haven’t driven much to compare the acceleration but tomorrow will be taking a 300 mile round trip so will report back after that.View attachment 63881View attachment 63882

Interested to hear the mpg report

How do the handle in the rain?

One report (yes it’s just one it seems) on Reddit is blasting them over and over every chance they get about hydroplaning?

I wouldn’t put much faith in any MPG report from me honestly……I don’t pay any attention to it and really enjoy driving….spiritedly! That said, I will let you know how it does today. Driving over the Cascades from north central Washington to Seattle and back, I just don’t have a good baseline to compare the before and after.

Haven’t been out in any amount of rain yet.

Fair enough lol. I’d imagine if it’s a huge hit you will notice
Snoqualmie pass (sp)

Steven’s pass

Just got back home going back and forth over Steven’s Pass driving in my usual “spirited” way (passing many Subarus and Priuses). 19MPG is what the LC is telling me. I’m happy with that! Pirellis were smooth, relatively quiet and I didn’t notice any loss of acceleration.

ah yes, nice drive up by Leavenworth, no shortage of apples or cider (My in Laws live in Tri Cities Area). respectable MPG # considering the terrain

@Dr. T Any longer term update? Reviews on these tires are very sparse and it's hard to tell if reviewers are just shills. Much time off road? Positives/negatives?

I’ll throw my review of them in here, if not only for a non-shill short-term experience. Had them on my Sequoia for a few thousand miles (can’t remember exact mileage, but think somewhere between 6-7k). 275/60-18 size XLs. Had to have one replaced under warranty due to being beyond ability to balance after 3-4 visits for wobbling. Had another throwing balance enough to feel it ahead of those visits too, but they were able to bring it in each time after a road force balance. Warranty returned them and switched her to G3s after the 4th visit.

They were awesome for the first 2-3k miles. I think we got a bad batch personally, since our experience was an extreme.

I've been very pleased. Quiet and smooth on the highway and great performance off-road. They handle the rocky, dry back roads in North Central Washington very well. If they made the correct size for my F-350 Tremor I would be getting a set for that too.

Thanks for the update, these are still my number 1 choice for replacement. OEM Ridge grapplers i have still going strong with 28k miles. They easily have another 10k left, just too loud.
