Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 vs Pirelli Scorpion Zero — Compared

Although I realize I am not limited to just what is in stock at my nearest DiscTire, what they have now is interesting - not many in stock right now. They range from the $169 Trailfinder All Terrain, the $206.00 Cooper Discovers ATP II, the $209.00 Hankook Dynapro HT RH12, then a big jump up to the $277.00 Michelin Defender LTX M/S, and the YUGE $293.00 BFG A/T T/A KO2. I need a tire pretty much for road driving only. I do not often go out of town but for instance I've got a 9 hour trip later this month. It snows here in my area maybe..2 weeks / year, and nothing insane. So I don't really even need A/T tires in my opinion. The Hankook Dynapro seems to fit budget and looks like a good road tire. I can't tell which ones are Chinese but, sure, I'd love to avoid that too! Thanks for all the suggestions here.”

Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S 265/40/R21 - 105V (150mph) - UTQG 600AA - 34lbs, 12/32" Tread Depth, 29.3" Diameter Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S Plus 265/40/R21 - 105Y (186mph) - UTQG 500AA - 33lbs, 10/32" Tread Depth, 29.3 Diameter I think if you tended more towards summer tires and/or lived in a dry-ish climate and could get a good price, the Zero A/S is a good tire. You might only get 30K out of them on a heavy performance SUV but compared to more expensive options the differences seem minimal. Personally, on a truck/SUV I've never experienced a tire rated 600AA have as good performance/stickiness (combined with long treadlife) as the Verdes...”

“Pirelli Scorpion MS vs. Zero I was the unfortunate recipient of a giant screw in my tire last week and had to be towed to a local Discount Tire for a replacement. After being very specific that I wanted the exact same tire that I had (Scorpion MS), they installed the Scorpion Zero on my front right wheel and I just realized it this morning. Is there any damage in keeping this tire if it’s the exact same size? Or should I push back and request they replace it with the tire I have on the three other wheels? Not to mention I’m a little irritated because I feel like it was a sneaky upsell to get me to buy a tire that is $150 more expensive. Thoughts? Read more”
