Good offroad tire, but if you do 45 minutes at 70+ mph on asphalt four times in a row, that tire will be bald......I know from experience.

Actually, it was mostly toast after the first 70 mph run.

Man! that's amazing. Is the Scorpion Pro actually supposed to be a D/S tire? Or like a pure Race tire?

The front is actually DOT legal, but the rear is not. I've never used the rear, but one of my buddies does. I've got quite a few miles of pavement on mine (connecting trails) and it is still usable after nearly a year, but that's at back road speeds, not I-95.
