Our take

The Pirelli Scorpion is a solid choice for off-road enthusiasts who prioritize wet grip and off-road traction. Its AA traction rating and wet grip score of 8 suggest it can handle a variety of conditions better than many in its class. However, it lacks a treadwear warranty, which could be a consideration for those who drive significant distances annually.

In the all-terrain category, off-road traction and wet grip are crucial, and the Scorpion delivers on these fronts with above-average scores. The dry grip score of 7 also exceeds the category benchmark, indicating stable performance on paved surfaces. However, its comfort and noise levels are average, which may not satisfy drivers seeking a quieter and smoother ride.

When compared to competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III, which offers a treadwear warranty, the Scorpion's lack of warranty might be a downside for some. The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 could also be considered for those looking for a balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort.

For drivers who prioritize a warranty-backed tire, the Toyo Open Country A/T III might be a better choice. However, if off-road traction and wet grip are your main concerns, the Pirelli Scorpion remains a competitive option in the all-terrain market.

Pros

  • Off-road traction is supported by a UTQG traction grade of AA, suggesting strong grip in varied conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 8 significantly exceeds the all-terrain category average of 5.2, enhancing safety in rainy conditions.
  • Dry grip score of 7 is above the category average of 6.6, providing reliable performance on paved roads.

Cons

  • Lack of a treadwear warranty could increase long-term costs for high-mileage users.
  • No treadwear mileage warranty, which can be a disadvantage compared to competitors like the Toyo Open Country A/T III that offer warranties.
  • Noise level score of 5 matches the category average, but some competitors may offer quieter rides.
  • Comfort score of 6 is average for the category, but those prioritizing smooth rides might find better options elsewhere.
