My 2007 had a serious vibe at 85 kph, I took it to the dealer and they forced balanced the tires, they all passed, so next they checked the alignment. That was all good so they swapped tires from a new truck, and it seemed to fix it.
The dealership ordered me 4 new tires, and I have no problems.
Truck has about 10,700 km.

These tires really do suck! 2007 Expedition. After much complaining and Ford not able to Road Force Balance them, they replaced 3 of them. Not much difference, still vibrates the glasses off your face when you start out in the morning. Why Ford would put a tire like this on a truck is beyond me

Don't see why these Pirelli's would flat spot so easily over night....
It's not like they are bias ply tires.
I have two sets of bias ply tires that flat spot after a couple days of sitting in one spot, but the warm up and get round pretty quick.

My 08 screw came with the Scorpions 275/55/20. Had problems with 2 tires, the dealer changed them out and all was well. I wanted a taller side wall so I replaced them with goodyear 275/65/20 tires. The new goodyears ride nice and also give me the tire hieght that I wanted! I have the Scorpions if someone wants to give me $200 for them. I am in North Georgia! They have about 3000 miles on them.

I hate these tires on my 06 SC. I have the same square tire feel when they are parked even for a few hours. Seems worse if I leave the truck in my gravel driveway too. ?? That's unacceptable for a tire to perform like that even if it is cold. I got stuck in my side yard in wet grass and mud that didn't reach the edge of the rap around tread. I hunt and off road performance is important.
I would never buy these tires again, at any price and I'd never recommend them either.
They look good though.

I have an 06 FX4 with the 20" wheels/Scorpions and I want to swap them out with the factory 18" wheels. I have a trailer that I tow out into the desert and 20" wheels with low profile tires are the last thing that I want when driving over rocks. I could never understand why ford put this kind of setup on a 4 wheel drive truck. You want more side wall with a 4 wheel drive. If anyone want to swap out to 20's and you are in Southern California let me know.
