I remember reading a report about the pirelli MT when they first came out, apparently their very good off road but i don't know how long they last.
i wish, i wish, i wish i had a landy,

BFG's mt are brilliant on the Disco and the 90. A mate has just put pirelli scorpion mt on a wrangler but not put them though there paces yet.
 Both tyres look very much the same the bfg have a bit bigger tread, but the pirelli scorpion have more on the side wall, so its up to you both very good.

OK, I might get shot down in flames for this but I've a set of 235/85 Scorpion muds and I think there a bit naff. The wear on the road is awful, the are as knobbly as hell at slow speeds on tarmac, the side wall lugs rub against the radius arms by comparison to my Grabber MT's and on clay surfaces those huge lugs clog solid and give you no sidewall grip at all. When it's dry they grip to anything, but when the going gets tough they fall behind the competition.

Another vote for BFGs - The 110 is wearing them and they are great both on and off road.
