Pirelli Scorpion ATR 235/65 R17 on my T5.1

[transparu]

In 2020 I was anticipating some further outback driving and sought decent tyres for my van. I had had the van lifted 35mm and wanted larger (legal) tyres. At that time there were few options available that ticked sufficient boxes, but I settled on 235/65 R17 108H Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres.

I put a set on in July 2020 and had to replace them in July 2023. That was 3 years, 2 weeks and 36,270km later.

I must say that I have been extremely happy with them. They are great on bitumen and given normal road and wind noise in a T5, I didn't notice any difference in noise. They hugged the road well and I have never had an issue with them. I felt they did well on gravel and on muddy roads.

So this is a positive recommendation.

FWIW

Just put these on my t6.1 4motion after a lot of research for other alternatives, so great to hear your positive experience

As an alternative to this size, I’ve bad no problems with Cooper ATT for my T5.1 4motion:
Cooper Tires(R) ATT | Lifestyle all-terrain tyre

I use the 235/60/17
60 profile fits in the spare area

The other option would be 225/65/17 ? BFGoodrich

Been running the Pirelli Scorpions for a year now a T6.1 4motion and have been good. Only complaint is they tend to pickup small stones that get caught in tread pattern a lot more compared to Toyo AT's I had on previous vehicle.
