About This Tire

The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus 235/70R16 is an all-terrain tire, designed for pickup truck, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize balanced on-road civility and off-road capability in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on durability, traction balance across multiple surfaces, and cut-and-chip resistance for extended wear.

The tire features Pirelli's New Generation tread compound molded into a symmetric, high-void pattern that combines deep grooves and independent tread blocks for off-road grip with design elements aimed at smooth, quiet highway operation. Conical stone ejectors help prevent punctures by forcing rocks from the tread, while wide lateral notches and open shoulders channel water away from the contact patch. The tire carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for light snow traction capability. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and solid treadwear characteristics.

Compared to highway-focused tires, it adds off-road traction while maintaining reasonable on-road manners. Overall, it's a solid choice for light truck and SUV owners used primarily for mixed driving conditions where both pavement comfort and trail capability matter.
