Pirelli SCORPION™ ALL TERRAIN PLUS Reviews

had the pirelli scorpians plus's on for 4 years now and have done 70000km on them, this includes 50k highway/city, 13k gravel/roughroads, 7k sand + offroad terrain. very happy with the value of them and have definitely paid there due, never got stuck in the sand pretty much drove everything in 2wd, would buy these tyres again for sure. there on there way out now probaly only have another 1500 in them.

When new they were pretty good. Quiet, great on road both dry and wet. Off road performance they have never let me down although haven't really gone anywhere too challenging. As they have aged from around 30000k's, the wet weather performance has dropped off dramatically. The noise level has increased although diabolical. Currently at 55000 k's and they are pretty spent. Will be looking to something else.

Were fantastic for the first 35,000kms but have since developed some pretty loud road noise. Seems to be worse at around the 50 -80kph mark and then seems to taper off a bit. Sill got a ton of tread on them so won't be changing them out for a while yet.

Travelled 20,000kms towing a 1.8tonne van on bitumen and about 10,000 kms without towing which includes 6,000kms of off road including the Gibb River Road twice. My next trip towing will cause me to replace them after about 10,000kms. I have not included the spare in my tyre rotations. I find the rear tires wear at more that twice the rate of the front ones when towing which is similar to what I have found with other tyre makes.

Good value. Will replace with same.

UPDATE: The noise ended up being faulty rear wheel bearings that the VW dealer misdiagnosed. So they aren't noisy at all and would definitely recommend these tyres.

Chose these a few years back with the intention of taking the car off road more. My concern at the time was getting the balance right as the car would still be on city streets and highways 95% of the time. Happy to report that these tyres performed fantastically off road when I could get there. No issues on gravel, clay or the soft sand on Fraser. The discovery wheels did hinder me more than anything (19”) as it limits your low PSI options, but that’s not the tyres fault. On bitumen, these tyres are superb. They last forever and offer hardly any road noise. I did find them a little tight on roundabouts though, maybe they just grip too well ? Only reason I’m taking mine off are for a wheel size change away from the 19” and the desire to try something more aggressive looking. Highly recommend this tyre.

Great tyres for the wet and dry condition. Extremely capable off-road, and they might even have beaten out another car of the same make and model with Wildpeaks on them on we clay and tree root surfaces 😜 Great on the sand too. They balloon out quite well for 18” tyres. I would recommend these tyres, especially if you pick them up during Black Friday sales.

These are the best tyres I have ever driven on and whats more thaye have a puncture warranty . (that the dealer carried on about). But not Pirelli. Pirelli came to the Party and sorted the issue super fast as it was a warranty for a month and as it happened on the 31st day. The dealer tried to carron about it being on the 31st day(to bad )the customer won that won. Any rate an absolutely brilliant tyre. Have children and travelalot. I fully back these model tyres and for someone who does 550 kms to and from work not including any weekend work . I did not ever aquaplane once in these tyres and that is a huge call to make but it is true. These tyres truly are a work of the gods. Thanks Pirelli HQ in Sydney for helping us out.

Very well in asfalt (not difference noise between original Continental), nice in wet and nice in snow too! A nice upgrade to the Ranger in original stock size 265/60 R18.

I've had these tyres for about 15,000km / about a year and a half (low km thanks to Melbourne's covid lock downs!!!) They have never let me down. I've done maybe 400-500km of off road driving with them, ranging from mild rock crawls to extremely sharp jagged rocks, no sand driving yet. I bought them primarily to be an on road tyre, with the ability to go off roading. On the pavement they're excellent... Noise does increase as they wear in, but nothing like the other reviews suggest. Wet, dry, gravel, no problem! Off road is where they shine. I once went up a wet grassy hill of about 35 degree incline just to see how they would go... Absolutely no problem. I've been in wet hilly clay, didn't let me down. The tread is just as deep as when I bought them 15,000km ago. Stones, pebbles, rocks don't stick in the tread, they are ejected just as the literature suggests. Forget everyone's complaints about noise, it's a non issue and well worth the compromise of having an all terrain tyre. I wish they had more plies on the sidewalls for extra security, but I've driven through very sharp rocks where I was certain I would get a puncture, but didn't. I really can't fault these tyres and would recommend them highly!

really good off road tyre that performs well on the road too. excellent wear after 60,000 still plenty of tread left but getting noisier especially at 100-105kmh. noise reduces at 110-115kmh but I wouldn't buy them again for this vehicle as they are too noisy. not sure why but my amarok is susceptible to tyre noise more than other vehicles so I'll go for something less chunky next time. don't believe the pirelli website that shows the AT plus is quieter than the original all terrain as the originals were much quieter.
