Latest Pirelli Scorpion Reviews

Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2,0 280 hp (255/45 R20) on for 0 miles
It is not a review YET, but this might help others considering the tire anyway but lacking the information on their performance. I could not find reviews or ratings of Scorpion anywhere. On this site there was an almost two years old press realise which sounded good, that was all. Not counting one skimpy review. Breakthrough....a major Pirelli dealer in Poland told me that this is essentially the same tire as new Cinturato P7C2. They came on the market at the same time....P7C2 for cars and Scorpion for SUVs. This information was confirmed by Pirelli's German customer service. Cinturato P7C2 has great reviews....also on this site. So I bought them for my Alfa Romeo Stelvio. I wanted a good noise, wet, and comfort ratings. Already have them mounted but still riding on winter wheels for another month or so. Will report later my thoughts on them.

Given 74% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan (255/45 R19) on mostly country roads for 16,000 average miles
Coming from a hot Audi hatchback, it was clear to me that trying to drive my new plug-in hybrid SUV in a spirited way was pointless. The tires aided to this as the feedback is average and rather imprecise in the corners when pushing with 245hp on the front wheels. Further to this, the tires lose grip easily when you are facing uphill and trying to start moving from a stand, especially in the wet. They are not a looker either, if that matters to you.

Comfort is where the tires excel! The profile is rather low for this kind of vehicle, but the puddles are a joke and, I recon, the suspension is not the only one to thank. Also, I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with the ride quality and the lack of noise on the motorway. These tires will be appreciated by BEV owners who travel long distances. Although I am not impressed by their performance in the wet, I must note that they behaved very safely in instances of aquaplaning. Finally, the wear is very good. 16,000 miles and they are good as new.
