After dropping off the car this morning for a TSB, I was surprised to check out the new Edges w/STR's and not STR A's. Guess its been my mistake all along.

Dingo, In your experience, is there any difference between the STR and the STR A?

thanks man!

fldgex Do you mind confirming that yours aren't STR A's? The A is easy to miss and not the easiest to read. Thanks man!

Hey guys, I know that there is a majority of people that dislike (well, Dingo hates) the Pirellli Scorpions but I got a very good deal of $510 (discount tire direct, instant $50, then $70 gift card) for 4 of them and I took the chance. I got a used set of Limited rims and definitely needed 2 new times w/in 10K (would have approached $350/400 for just 2) but with the deal only for 4 only a lil more I pulled the trigger. I noticed that I have the STRA's on my Edge but I ordered STR's. I noticed this on the Tirerack page: The Scorpion STR A and Scorpion STR tires are Pirelli's premium Highway All-Season tires that were designed to deliver the Stability, Traction and Ratings (STR) appropriate for today's light trucks by adapting their performance to the needs of crossover vehicles, sport utility vehicles and light duty pickup trucks. The Scorpion STR tires are designed to combine a quiet and comfortable ride along with ease of handling and year-round traction, even in light snow. The Scorpion STR's tread compound is molded into one of two similar, but slightly different symmetric tread designs. The tires featuring Pirelli's North American tread pattern are identified as Scorpion STR A tires, while those featuring their European tread pattern are simply identified as Scorpion STR tires. The Scorpion STR A tire's North American tread pattern features continuous shoulder ribs and narrower groves between all of the independent tread blocks. This type of tread design would tend to result in a quieter, more even-wearing tire. The Scorpion STR tire's European tread pattern features lateral grooves through the shoulder ribs and larger grooves between all of the independent tread blocks. This type of tread design would tend to result in a tire with better hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. On the inside, both Scorpion STR tires feature twin, high- tensile steel belts reinforced with polyamide to provide strength and durability on top of a two-ply polyester cord body that helps cushion the ride. I was just curious if people had noticed a significant difference between the 2? Thanks.

Good luck on the grill. Here is what I did. Ordered an unpainted Matte Black grill from Levitown March of 12 and I haven't done anything to it. Standard road rash but if it to the point where it look sandblasted I will paint it and put a barrier over it. I left the chrome top to give to break up the black grill and the black paint. I'm still toying with the idea of wrapping the top chrome at some point. $100 and 2 hours and it went from a stock SEL to this. Good luck
