Ford Ranger XLT 4X4 Manual 2009, My Pirelli Scorpion ATR 265/70/R16 made 2 years this March and with every 15-20K rotataion, all four tyres life seems to be VERY slightly less than 1/2 life. March 2013 is now making me 2 years, I drive 10000k about every 2-3 months, or Penal to POS 1-2 days a week and Penal to Point Fortin 2-5 days a week and family trips over the weekend. Advantage, excellent in traction, especially in wet and diesel roads and cornering in unlevel and wet surface roads, van has excellent braking with these tyres. Disadvantage, ride comfort was slightly compromised (I got nitro in them)

Problem: I estimate getting 3 years but I am starting to look around early. WHO is selling Pirelli and what is the cost?

Bridgestone- Wet road and pickups not friend
Roadstone- Perfect and cheap, bends easily in bad road
Michellin- Excellent, ride highly uncomfortable after 1/2 life, unlike my Pirelli right now ride comfort remains almost same like when new
Dunlop- Best tyre, pickup roughness in back significantly reduced, tyre last only 6 months
Kumho, Toyo, Goodyear- heard from persons that they are good, but will not get more than 1.5-2 years
Cheap brands- many say are good, but in trinidad it's something difficult to go with hear say

^ I had Kumho, Toyo and GoodYear and all gave good life. You don't measure a tire's life by age, you measure it by mileage.

[vharripersad]

With the 3 that you mentioned though, which worked best overall

[equipped2ripp]

The Kumho, I had the Ecsta STX. The Toyo Open Country lasted the longest out of the 3. The GoodYear was the Fortera... I used those 3 tires more than 5 years ago though.

What I have used in recent times are Bridgestone Dueler, Dunlop Grandtrek PT2, Toyo Proxes and Yokohama Geolandar.

I don't know how applicable it is to our market. Not sure if the local guys import from the same factory in China.

Laughlin and DeGannes has Kumho Road Venture SAT in 265/70/16 for $1350.00 ea

great news last time I checked them (mid-late last year) they only had the Road Venture KL78 in that size. I have the SAT on the vitara and it's been holding out very well thus far

[Paullct]

^^ good tyres bajan. don't last very long on road and they get loud after a bit of wear

[vharripersad]

Called Masterv the Pirelli Scorpion ATR 265/70R16 on discount for $1600

[trinibajan34]

safe paul, , was kinda hoping for better a review but suspected they wont last long on the road. if it gives me two years or 2 and half years i would be fine with that. i would go with the firestone destinations once the price is better than the big horns

[venum]

Destination is @1200.00 by M. Ramrattan

Saw them this week

I find they kinda soft and I fear that they will burn out fast on regular highway driving

[sweeks]

Prices from Wheels Deals (south of highway, after Munroe Road and Sheron's).

They also do trade ins.

[trinibajan34]
