Question Opinions on Pirelli Scorpion ATRs (buy 1 get 1)

This weekend through monday NTB (National Tire and Battery) is having a buy one get one free sale on Pirelli Scorpion ATR's (and Yokahama and Cooper). They are advertised at $196.99 ea. with a coupon you download off of the NTB website.

I am currently runnng Radial SXT Mud Terrain M+S LT 285/75R/16's ***D*** (31" I think) and am thinking about downsizing to a 265/75R/16 ***E*** for better gas mileage.

I mostly drive around town on pavement, not too much offroading yet.

I own a 1993 Dodge W250 Diesel ext cab w/ an 8 foot bed and a camper.

NTB is requiring that the buyer purchase a Premium Tire Installation Package and Roadside Assistance for each tire and a one year wheel alignment policy.

I will call NTB tomorrow to get the out-the-door price.

Opinions?

Hmm, in europe they are rated very good- but knowing that the rubber mix in the US is different to achieve the high mileage (hard rubber= less wear= bad grip) it will be difficult to compare.

What about getting pure road tires for gas mileage and chains for the occassional off road. I go with Michelin lattitude cross+ chains when needed.
