After the original Bridgestones, I tried the Yokohama AVS/ST's and liked them for their grip and feel, except they became very noisey after some mileage. They lasted about 45,000 miles.
So, I took Tone's advice next, and bought the Pirelli Scorpion Zero's and must admit that they are very superior on and off-road. I did have an initial problem with the soft feel of the Scorpion Zero's and solved it by running 44psi instead of the 32psi that I am so acustomed to with all other tires. I have never run tires with so much pressure, but the Zero's need it. I have 35,000 on the Zero's now and expected 45-50K (much more than I ever imagined) when I bought them. I'm very pleased.
Thanks for the info Tone! I vote for you to Buy The Zeros!!!!!!
