Jonathan, this load rating (116) is not available in the US. I've checked Pirelli's website, tire rack, Discount, and others... the only google search result for the product code you shared is your blog post... so perhaps you got a pre-release that isn't public yet. Unfortunately I need tires on my lifted tacoma and was eager to try this one out for the weight savings and performance gains... but if it's not available then a set of KO3's are going on the rig in 285/70/17 (LRC). The LRE version of the scorpion is rated at 63 lb which is heavier than the KO3 and competitors... So I guess I'll be sticking with the KO3 for a while.
The production of these in mass has been delayed a number of times. I've been told with good confidence that there should be a bunch coming out soon, fingers crossed as it really is a solid tyre (I've tested it in winter conditions now which will be out later this year, but it is very good)
