Has anyone tried the Pirelli Scorpion Zero 275/55/17 ? After a lot of reseach I have concluded that I need a 275/55/17 tire. I have some chromed oem F150 "buzz saw" rims in 17x7.5 that need tires! I currently have the stock 16s with 265/75/16 tires with a 35 psi. Not good!

I am looking for a V or Z rated tire with a wide tread and aggressive tread design that tracks every little bump in the road so that I have very sensitive steering. I need a short and very stiff side wall tire with a high psi (50 or above) with little or no sidewall flex to take advantage of my recent supercharger install and to reduce body roll in crosswinds and curves (already have 2/2 drop, front/rear swaybars and hard bed cover).

I have found the Zeros at discount tires.com for 155 per tire. This includes shipping.

What do you think????????????????????????

 

I have been focusing on researching what tire to get. I have been trying to get as close to the stock lightning 295/45/18 height (28.5) and width. I came to the conclusion that a 275/55/17 would do the trick. Now find a tire! The Pirelli scorpion zero seem to have what I need. But they are $620 (at Discount tire Direct) to $645 (at the Tire Rack) delivered! when I try locally, they are $740 and up!!!!!!!!! What the?


So I looked into the Continental 4x4 tire. It comes in a 275/55/17 and is a V rated tire and it is only $391.12 delivered from the Tire Rack!!!!!!! But, it is an offroad all terain tread. I do 90% street driving but I will need drivable tires this winter. What do I do???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

 

That's what I got on mine.
