I have 6000 miles on the Scorpions. How many more could I get from them? I was hoping for about 15k but they seem to be going off but only on right hand bends. Hard left ones seem cool enough.

I had Scorps before I switched to PR3's. They only lasted about 7k.

If you never venture off the pavement I'd say PR3's. If you plan a jaunt in the woods occasionally then the Pirelli Trails. I'm running them now and love them.

I still have good tread but they are going off a bit, 15k is asking a lot I guess, LOL. I have a set of PR2s to fit and they are a better road tire.

15,000 miles? That's like 4 sets of tires.

PR2's will work fine. Scorps aren't dual compound so depending on how much flat slabing or hard riding you do, chances are they won't last long.
