I feel strongly about using Scorpions again. They are a great tire and
last much longer than most Pirelli's and very long for an all season
tire. I always used Michelin's before, but they never had the wet
traction of Pirelli's and Pirelli's never had the wear of Michelin's.
Now Pirelli has a tire with excellent traction and reasonable wear.
