Whats the total price on those? Shipping too if you ordered it. Also, any rubbing issues yet?

i have the exact same tires as you, but i had gotten my rims powder coated. mine cost me $486 US installed onto the rims. with nitrogen fill. in buffalo.
i believe they do have the snowflake on the tire. i get really good traction with these compared to the stock goodyears that came with mine in 205/70/16.

i just wish i had gone one size bigger though to 225/70/16, but then again i have a 4x2.

215/70R16 - finally the good choice

215/70R16 - finally the good choice

I've finally took a good decision regarding tires. one year ago, i chose 205/80R16 in order to get as much lift, but got little rubbing when cornering so i decided to install some tires that are almost the same as oem.

I got some pirelli scorpion s/t m+s. They are good in snow combined with 4x4, they are all season, they are good for highway use and they are not noisy.

here are the figures I found

Section Width: 8.07 in 205 mm
Rim Diameter: 16 in 406.4 mm
Rim Width Range: Unrecognized tire size.
Overall Diameter: 27.29 in 693.16 mm
Sidewall Height: 5.64 in 143.25 mm
Radius: 13.64 in 346.45 mm
Circumference: 85.73 in 2177.5 mm
Revs per Mile: 762.1
Actual Speed: 60 mph 100 km/h

Tire 1 - 215/70R16
Section Width: 8.46 in 215 mm
Rim Diameter: 16 in 406.4 mm
Rim Width Range: 5.5 - 7 in
Overall Diameter: 27.85 in 707.39 mm
Sidewall Height: 5.92 in 150.36 mm

Circumference: 87.49 in 2222.2 mm

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 2.048% too slow

seems like a big enough difference to have corrected for

thoughts?

they are good in the snow! I drive from ohio to western ny to ski every weekend in the winter, I have no problums on the highways or the unplowed roads to the ski hill, Most of the highways out that way don't get plowed well and get closed a few times a year(like rt. 90 in eire pa this sunday).I also hunt and have taken it off road crossing creeks,and going up small muddy hills with ease. the tires are worth the cash you pay for them
