OK, I got new tires the good news and the bad news

[@davidlovell4390]

I ran set of those on my last Ute. Very good on the black top, but not good off road. I have two side wall blow outs on the same day in the high country. Yes I had aired down , I had driven that track before and used the same pressure as before . IMHO they are too soft for hard off roading. As soon as I could l changed them for KO 2’s. I hope you have better luck with them than l had. Thanks for sharing.

[@rogeralbans4082]

I have had these too and you know 10mm tread depth makes pefect sense about my only complaint. I thought they wore out to fast. At the time i was doing a lot of gravel roads with quarry fresh rock and they got cut to pieces. Luckily no punctures.

[@stevezodiac575]

At that price they are a great value pick! Well done!

[@melnickharris1177]

They are the best 👌 wet and dry love them

[@Fourby4Diesel]

The best road tire I guess you’re saying by that comment but this is a four-wheel-drive and off-road traction and Outback reliability would be number one priority

[@melnickharris1177]

@Fourby4Diesel and off road lol

[@joeoz230]

I’ve bought these for my 120 Prado and completed 35k kms mainly on bitumen, gravel roads and rutted tracks along the Murray. IMHO they’re very quiet and great in the wet and are wearing very well. At that price an absolute steal!

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Yeah, that’s what I thought. They’re probably good road tires.

[@paulbarry1044]

I would have gone BFG A/T KO3,better tread depth,and load rating,but no doubt a lot more expensive.

[@laok8021]

Cheap tyres usually means cheap compound. Hard to detect until you notice rapid wear or flat spotting when parked overnight on concrete.

[@Fourby4Diesel]

That’s why I thought I’ll test them and see if Perelli we’re going to put their reasonably good name in the toilet

[@cenccenc946]

I have been running the cooper SST pros on my FJ for 5 years, about 45,000 km now. love them. they are getting a bit long in the tooth, but should be able to get one more overlanding trip in the Patagonia out of them. They are proper mud tires, so terrible on the pavement; but, that is not what my FJ is for.

[@05hit]

You do waffle a lot, where are they made?

[@seedias5961]

Pirelli have factories all over the the world - guessing these are made in China?

[@Fourby4Diesel]

A place where I try my hardest to avoid purchasing, but they didn’t know where they were made and it says it’s so small you would need to get a magnifying glass 🇨🇳

[@ToranaA9X308]

I’ve had scorpions on my 120 for 2 years and never had an issue. Quiet on the road great in the wet and up in Gippsland vic climbed everywhere I threw at them.

[@Velvethunter]

​@@Fourby4Diesel The set I had were Brazil

[@05hit]

@@Fourby4Diesel The set of Pirelli MTs I put on my 120 were made in Brazil 🇧🇷

[@mathysdupreez602]

Had these on my Hilux. Good on tarmac (wet and dry), good in sand, ok on gravel but a bit soft and puncture prone in my experience. Also, where I live they cost the equivalent of 644.00 Australian Dollar per tyre…

[@mathysdupreez602]

Oh yes, my most recent set did not last 35000km and one of them started leaking between the inner seal and the tread portion.

[@anhvu7368]

Hi, just asking Do you have any good recommendation workshop around Reservoir ? Thanks

[@JamesKnipping]

So not LT?

[@Ramjet7777]

Where are they on special at please?

[@darrenc4096]

Probably the last photo on the vid is a clue.

[@sharons9367]

I actually seen them on a 4x4 then started researching Apparently failure rates and very noisy

[@code-fox]

I had those tyres on my Navara. They were so crap I got rid of them after 3 months (10,000km). They were deadly in the wet.

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Good to know a different opinion

[@code-fox]

@@Fourby4Diesel I'm sure that the general difference in opinion we see in reviews is based on vehicle compatibility. What's good for a ute may not be good for a wagon and vice versa, not to mention differing driving styles. I do so much driving that I'm lucky to be able to compare tyres. I've been through so many now that I stick with either Nitto (all round winner IMHO), Yokohama (if I need something sticky), or Cooper ATT (on my wife's SUV).

[@dn059]

Thats bloody cheap be interesting to see how they go once they rack up some kms

[@Fourby4Diesel]

From the comments and what I suspected before purchase probably really good for on road not bad on some dirt roads probably week sidewalls tread depth not good enough for mud and snow, but for most people in Toor tractors probably perfect the sort of people that buy falcon, wild peaks will love them, but much cheaper

[@anamnesiser]

Mountian symbol means it's good (insured) for winter conditions (well legally anyway 😅). I drive around Norway and these are not winter tyres except on paper 🙃

[@buzz9972]

Passenger construction with thin side walls. Good luck off-road

[@Fourby4Diesel]

It’s the touring vehicle, not planning to do too much rough stuff but totally agree and we will see how they go. That’s the whole point. We actually use them and have done hundreds of thousands of on different off-road tires. We have a lot of comparison.

[@henrywarnecke9348]

Cheap because they're not LT and have a load rating of 112. Why bother look at the tread when the carcass is going to be the thing that fails you

[@shanevonharten3100]

Don't go offroad on those shitters, last bloke I saw on them had 6 flats stuck in the pilliga forest on beautiful sand roads.

[@MrCav74]

I wouldn't believe many online reviews on 4WD tyres, I've been caught out a few times, and most novice 4wders don't have a clue. I sat in a well known tyre store chain and watched a number of expensive 4WDs get wheel alignments and the techs just had no clue. They were basically all fake wheel alignments as in close enough is good enough, this trade has really gone to garbage.

[@HML-it7te]

Not just max depth that’s important, rather useable depth. As in from the wear indicator. They look really good with strong block grouping. Top manufacturer even if it is the C word. Thanks for the heads up. Very good price too! Anyone checked out the link to the song yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/foOkZKCXn9V5jqssi=exT_9OM_mQsFD5TI

[@Fourby4Diesel]

Where indicators are not very deep this isn’t a big concern. They like one to 1.5 mm high. 🤣😉🙏✌️

[@HML-it7te]

@ yeah that’s true, I forgot they are a standard depth. Cheers. Did you get a kick out of the Yakerty yak classic song? I won’t be buying KO2’s anymore. $185 IMO is a bargain. Thanks Cobber ;)

[@smatt9993]

Personally I run Dick Cepek fun country, 4yrs old with 60k on them, still 50% tread and stickier than shit on a blanket. Next tire will definitely be the Mickey Thompson baja legend exp (formally Dick cepek fun/trail country).

[@dustyfarmer]

TOYO tyres, they make good ones.

[@darrenc4096]

The new A/T Toyo has bought out suffers from the same tread depth issue apparently.

[@dustyfarmer]

@@darrenc4096 I'm running the Toyo Open Country AT 3. The previous AT 2 tyre was better I reckon but you can't get them anymore.

[@jasoncurteis3854]

Made in Japan tho

[@AndyPat239]

$185 cheap

[@ozyrob1]

I wouldn't buy those tyres new let alone with 20 or 30 thousand Ks on them. Far to road biased tread pattern.
