10 ply sidewall? You sure that's not the total number of plys?

WHERE IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE FRIENDS AND AVY'S, AND NOT THE ALMIGHTY ADVERTISING DOLLAR!

Well...thought it was sidewall.   specs list 10ply-load range.  Tires came in 4, 6, 8, or 10 in th epro series.

Any way, they've been pretty good in all conditions and road noise isn't bad considering the tread on them.

Yep, if you look closely, they say 10-ply rated. It's an equivalency to the old, non-radial tire ply ratings.

Self-tuned with HP Tuners software.

Cracked rear bumper cover from a run-in with a deer in fall 2008!

I just put a set of Michelin LTX M/S 2's on my 03, so far I'm totally impressed, 70k tire that has been getting 100k on some sets.  Then I stopped at the dealership Sat for someting else and started looking at a pretty  11 Granite Blue AV, were about 3k from making the deal, lol.

I bought Yokohama Geolander HT/S tires to replace a set of LTXs this summer. They are the best tires for ride and handling that I've ever run. I own a 2007 now and had a 2004. I've run Goodyear AT/S, Goodrich A/T, stock Generals (yuk), LTX, and the Geolanders.

Was the ride better with the Scorpions or worse?
