π‘ Is the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 285/35R23 a Good Tire?
The Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 285/35R23 is a winter tire designed for luxury crossovers and performance SUVs. It delivers solid winter traction on snow and ice with responsive dry handling thanks to its directional tread pattern and specialized winter compound. Ride comfort is good for a winter tire, though road noise is moderate at highway speeds typical of aggressive winter treads. Tread life is adequate for its category, though winter tires generally wear faster than all-season alternatives. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it provides reliable winter performance but the low-profile 35-series sidewall may be vulnerable to pothole damage on rough winter roads. Currently priced from $659.98, it is available through major online tire retailers.

The Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 285/35R23 is a performance winter tire, designed for high-performance crossover and SUV drivers who prioritize capable control and predictable handling when temperatures drop. Its tread design and compound focus on maintaining flexibility in cold conditions while delivering traction across snow, ice, wet, and dry winter surfaces.
The tire features a specialized low-temperature compound that stays pliable in frigid conditions, shaped into an aggressive directional tread pattern with offset grooves and a staggered V-shaped design. Chamfered grooves help evacuate water to resist hydroplaning, while three-dimensional sipes provide biting edges for snow and ice traction without compromising stability. The construction balances winter-specific traction technologies with the handling characteristics expected from a performance tire.
Compared to all-season performance tires, it prioritizes cold-weather traction and snow capability over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for luxury crossovers and performance SUVs used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in regions with consistent winter weather.
