Are Pirelli scorpion tires good

That's a brilliant tyre.more suited to JHB area or XCO racing.

For the rest of the country the mixed terrain or soft terrain tyre is Better.

Will highly recommend the mixed terrain if you ride a wide variety of trail

I’m happy with mine, got the 2.2 H. On sale at Takealot at the moment.

I have a couple of 2.4's on my Nordest. A good fast rolling tyre but doesn't work too well in mud.

Side walls are too thin, bust mine after 90km.

the Lites do have less protection hence the 630gr weight. These should be used at the recommended pressures. The ProWall's are better suited to heavier riders and those who leave finesse at home. 

I did have a side wall puncture on the bead at an XCO race but this was easily plugged and I used the tyre till the tread was gone

I was looking at the trail M and S tyres, seems good but where to buy?
