Our take

The Pirelli Scorpion MS is a solid choice for those who need a reliable all-terrain tire with a strong focus on treadlife and dry grip. Its 60,000-mile treadwear warranty is a notable advantage over the category average, making it a good option for those who prioritize longevity. However, its wet grip score of 6, while slightly above average, falls short compared to some competitors, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.

In terms of off-road capability, the Scorpion MS offers a balanced performance with a handling score of 7, making it suitable for both off-road adventures and daily driving. However, it lacks the 3PMSF rating, which means it's not designed for severe winter conditions. This could be a drawback for those living in areas with harsh winters.

When compared to its competitors, the Scorpion MS stands out for its treadlife warranty but falls behind in wet grip performance. The Toyo Open Country A/T III, for example, offers better wet traction, while the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 might provide a quieter ride. Overall, if winter performance isn't a priority, the Scorpion MS offers a good balance of durability and dry handling for off-road enthusiasts.

Pros

  • Off-road traction is supported by a 7.5 treadlife score and a 60,000-mile warranty, which is above the category average of 55,717 miles.
  • Dry grip rating of 7 exceeds the category average of 6.6, offering solid performance on paved surfaces.
  • Handling score of 7 is competitive for an all-terrain tire, providing reliable control both on and off the road.

Cons

  • Lacks the 3PMSF certification, making it less suitable for drivers who need a tire for severe winter conditions.
  • Noise level is average at best with a score of 5, which is on par with the category average but could be a concern for those sensitive to road noise.
  • Wet grip score of 6 is only slightly above the category average of 5.2, lagging behind competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III.
  • Lacks the 3PMSF rating, which could be a limitation for those needing certified winter performance.
