Had the those on my 2010 Platinum. Had them rotated with every oil change. Did okay in the snow here in Ohio but not a great tire. Just traded the truck in on a new 2013 Platnium. The tires had 43,000 and needed replaced. Wouldn't buy them again. The new truck came with Bridgestone so will see how these tires do.

 

Thanks for your replies. I'm surprised that one owner actually likes the Scorpions.

As for trading in the tires, I was allowed $175.00 per tire plus something called a stewardship fee, dismounting and mounting, balancing, weights, retorquing. My total bill was $298.32 CDN.

I've used the Michelin on another truck. So far, these Firestones appear far superior to the Michelins. I've not used them in snow yet.

I put my foot into it today in the pouring rain and the Firestones didn't show a hint of breaking loose. I would have been sideways with the Pirelli tires.

My 2013 FX4 should arrive this week and I decided to switch the scorpians with the new Toyo Open Country AT II's. They have a good warranty, LT tire (going with 285/55/20) and deeper tread than old AT's and have a good looking tread. The dealer is billing me $1,200 all in with the scorpian trade.

 

I just put those tires on my truck in LT275/65R20. I had the original Open Country A/T's 3 times before on various Grand Cherokees I've owned and always had fantastic luck with them. needless to say, I expect nothing less out of the II's on my truck.

 

That is good news thanks Schiller. Do you get to use them in the snow and ice? and if so how did you find them?

 

yes, I have never gone a winter since I got my drivers license without a vehicle equipped with the original OC A/Ts. they were always fantastic and I never got any of my Jeeps stuck no matter how ridiculously far past their limits I pushed them. we got our first snowfall today for me to try out the OC A/T II's on my truck and they did just as well. the only thing I noticed was a little bit of pull if I hit the fresh slush on the side of the road going like 45+ mph. but as far as I'm concerned that's normal for any 275 tire at a higher speed. overall I was really happy with them, great traction during accelerating and turning.

 

HELL ya, tires, wives, toasters, and used condoms.

 

I'm thinking the dealer is taking you for a ride on this one. According to the link, those tires are $320 per. I'd be selling the tires myself on craigslist and buying the Toyo's elsewhere.

Or they are $239 per on this site.... http://www.treaddepot.com/group/opat2.html

I still have a personal preference for the Nitto Trail Grapplers over the Toyo's, but either way, I'd cancel the tire trade with the dealer.

At the very least, they should be selling you the new tires at cost, and giving you full credit for their cost of a set of scorpions. The difference should be nowhere near $1200. You did just buy a brand new truck from them after all.

 

when you factor in freight, taxes, and labour it is not that far off - plus it is done when I pick up the truck so I am happy

 

Replaced my Scorpions last week with Toyo OC AT II's. Went with 275/60R20. Night and day difference in ride. No more wandering around, no more squishy sidewalls. I will say the Scorpions cornered a bit better, but I'll give that up for the better overall ride.

Now I gotta sell the old Scorpions with 9/32 still left on them.

 

I had the scorpions on my fx2 and got 44k out of them in one year driving time (city and highway, ) and they still had a little tread on them when I got the Michelins I have now on truck. I had no problems out of them,rotated them about 4 times total at dealer.

 

Any pics Scorpio? Looking at Toyo at2 33's (275-70-18) for my rig

 

I replaced the scorpions on my 2008 F150 with Firestone Destination A/T's just like you bought... one of the best changes I ever made to the truck. Much better tire!

 

Haven't had a chance to get any better shots, been raining forever.

 

Thanks Scorpio, looks fantastic!
