I run pirelli p-zero scorpions 255-50-17 all around on 95 318 5spd RC. They have great dry weather traction and perform well in the rain. I have only had them for a few months so i can't comment on tread life. They large block tread pattern also looks good in my opinion.

I assume your looking to get some tires. Your better off stating what you want from a tire.
You can't get the best of both worlds. For example, a high milage tire wont be as grippy as a low milage tire.
A tire that is better in rain wont be as good in dry.

Tell me about those Pirelle scorpions zeros. Those are
performance tires for 4X4's, aren't they? They look a
little cheap. They sell for around $120.00.
Cheap != Performance
But maybe I'm wrong? Letme know...

"Can't we all just get along?" :-P My Dak came with Goodyear Eagles, but i switched to BFG Radial T/A's at 40,000 miles. And like Derek said, the white letters look sharp when cleaned up nicely.

I went looking for tires at a Super K-Mart and the guy
there at the PENSKE counter put his money where his
mouth was and told me that if I did not like the Aqua
Tread III's that he would buy them back provided that I
did not put over 25 miles on them.
They now have over 10,000 miles on them and I still
would not take them back for a full refund.
These tires do give you a lot of everything believe it or
not and do they ever look cool !

Thanks PENSKE !

MY FAULT...
Flame-Red,
Tires look great on your truck... What I meant
was don't you get better performance out of a
tire thats costs a little more? Didnt meant to
type that they look cheap, i was only talking
about price.

After those I went to Toyo Proxies Which I thought was kindda a Tall tire But would look cool on a SUV Now I have RSAs and I think they are a good set of tires.

well actually theres nothing wrong with savin a little money, i've seen many R/T's with these tires. $108 a piece at tirerack.com. but dont listen to me go ahead and spend $200 a tire and get the same results while killing your bank account at the same time.
and think about it drew, do you really think your gonna get good performance out of a eagle RSA? its a all season radial. especially on a R/T that pushes more than the stock 250hp
btw, very mature callin me a "dik" right off the bat i was just tryin to help you out. cause you did ask for people to name thier favorite tire right?

I pulled the Goodyear Eagle LS (255/65-16) off the rear and put Goodyear Eagle #1 Nascars (285/60-16). I like them, been in lots of rain and no problems with traction.
I have a QC so traction never seems to be a problem anyways. ;-)

pirelli p-zero scorpions 255-50-17 are what I have on my truck and I love them. 98 RC, but when you have 280 horseys to the ground in these trucks, not many tires will help you from spinning.
