💡 Is the Pirelli Scorpion Winter 265/40R21 a Good Tire?
The Pirelli Scorpion Winter 265/40R21 is a winter performance tire designed for luxury SUVs and crossovers. It delivers strong snow and ice traction with capable dry handling thanks to its directional tread pattern and winter-specific compound optimization. Ride comfort is good for a winter tire, though road noise is more noticeable than all-season alternatives due to the aggressive tread design. Tread life is adequate for the winter category, though shorter than year-round tires due to the softer compound. Rated Excellent by TireRack based on 200 consumer surveys, it excels in cold weather conditions but requires seasonal changeover and storage when not in use. Currently priced from $423.25, it is available through major online tire retailers.
