Default Pirelli Scorpion ATR

Hello:

Anyone running these particular tires and if so, care to comment on their offroad capability vs more dedicated all terrain tires? Considering a set for my LR3 as an alternative to the Wrangler MTRs because I know that as much as my ideal lifestyle would have me spending more time offroad than on, the reality is that my LR3 will be pressed into service on the highway a fair amount and I am concerned about the road noise on the MTRs spoiling what is the perfect rig. I know, switch to 18's and buy the Silent Armours...I just dont like the look of the 18 inch wheels available for the LR3. Maybe once she's out of warranty I will go full G4 clone; but for now...

Any feedback is appreciated and thanks

Bob

Bob, The Perelli is a good tire but because of it's really soft rubber compound, they don't last long.

Mike-
Glad you chimed in, your wealth of knowledge on all things LR is impressive from the short time I have spent on this forum. When you say they dont last long, what are we talking, 10K, 20K?

Thanks

Bob
