Consumer reports gave top marks to the Pirelli Scorpions.
I recently put a set on my '97 F-250 Diesel (2WD) and have been
extremely happy. They're rated all terrain and have a moderately
aggressive tread, but are quiet and have excellent on road traction wet
or dry. They are reported to have high rolling resistance which will
effect economy, but I haven't run mileage since I put them on. Depending
on size they come with various load ratings (mine are good for the 8500+
gvw of my 250). I have towed a great deal with them - no issue. I have
less than 10k on mine, but as of now would recommend them without
reservation.
