If I'm honest, the scorpions are bloody awfull when it comes to tramlines.
They get "pulled in" and you really have to fight against them to get out again.
Not good IMO for a "good" tyre manufacture.

Funny to hear this
Comparing them to the NEXEN Roadian's I had before the scorpions feel much better in the wet, also quieter and they last longer

I agree
I had GG 18s on a shogun sport 4 years ago, it made the car awesome in the muddy stuff, better than the 16 BFGs I had on the p38 before that.
Anyway I have taken the plunge and I now have GG 19,s on the l322
Had to replace the front two tyres on mine. The rears are still good scorpions. The price of the new patern scorpions was very high so went for Nexen and wow what an improvement, no more tramlining and sudden change in direction. Very impressed with the Nexen. Same spec as the Pirreli too and nice and quite.
It was interesting to watch the tyre supplier balancing the tyres - on the machine the Nexens were totaly round, you could have put a lathe on them and no excess. Whenever I have had pirellis there was always a bit more tread (small but noticable) on one side to other!
