Bridgestone Revos vs. Pirelli Scorpian ATR's

Well, after about 45k miles on my set of Revo's its time for new tires. I was just going to go down the Revo trail again, but decided to check out the TireRack rankings to see if anything had changed. I was impressed by the ratings that the Pirelli Scorpian ATR's got, and the fact that they were less expensive than the Revo's. The Scorpian ATR's seem to be a new(er) tire, so there aren't as many reviews out there as there are for Revo's.

I was just wondering if anyone had a set of Scorpian ATR's and how they liked them? (Especially in comparison to the Revo's, if possible.)

I can only compare the Scorpions to the Goodyear MT/Rs.

I had 265/70 Scorp ATRs on my libby before I got my MOABs and MT/Rs. They performed well enough of-road and in the snow that if I didn't get such a good deal on the rims and tires, I would not have changed.

3 of my 6 serious offroad trips were on the Scrops and I was completely impressed by them. That being said, I never used the revoes, but have heard nothing but good things about them.

Here's some pics from paragon with the Scorpions...

P.S. They actually have a scorpion on the side of em. worth major cool points.

ATR's got strange tread pattern, looks like they would get eaten up quickly at the end of those narrowing sipes.
Otherwise I can just say that they look good and I considered getting them. I read a few reviews that said these got flat spots after sitting for long, also reported mileage over at tirerack wasn't enough to make anything out of the ratings. I like revos, but they don't come in my size.

Here is a "promo" review: http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/ ... li_atr.htm

Gris, yours were A/T, there is a bit of difference on the tread depth.

Good Luck.

ooops, sorry.

You are right. I remember now that I didn't get the "real" off-road scorps.

Gris, I think you are wrong again. Just my opinion, but the old A/Ts look much better suited for off road than the new ATRs. A/Ts (yours) had wider and deeper tread pattern, newer ATR is narrower and looks like they won't grab as well.

I had some Scorp AT's and they seemed too soft for my liking- the sidewalls were pretty weak- they got some bad rock gouges. Other than that, they had great off road handling and were probably the best on-road tires I've run.
