The Scorpion All Terrain Plus is Pirelli's Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed for drivers of pickup trucks, crossovers, and SUVs who want a balanced blend of on-road civility with off-road capability. The Scorpion All Terrain Plus is designed with a focus on optimizing durability, traction and wear resistance, in addition to providing light snow traction sufficient to receive the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

Utilizing Pirelli's cut- and chip-resistant, New Generation tread compound, the Scorpion All Terrain Plus is molded into a symmetric, high-void pattern. This pattern is designed to provide smooth and quiet on-road operation along with aggressive looks and confident off-road traction. Deep grooves and independent tread blocks help provide the clawing action needed to find grip in loose terrain, and conical stone ejectors resist punctures by forcing small rocks from the tread. Wide lateral notches and open shoulders evacuate water from the contact patch to aid hydroplaning resistance and the advanced compound combines with multiple block edges and in-block sipes to provide sure-footed performance in slippery or snowy conditions.

The internal construction of the Scorpion All Terrain Plus consists of a polyester casing to combine durability with ride comfort. Two high-strength steel belts stabilize and support the footprint, and multiple nylon reinforcement plies increase durability and provide high-speed capability.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

Customers Say

Drivers consistently rate the Michelin CrossClimate SUV as excellent for dry traction, with nearly all scores hitting 9-10 for responsive handling and confident cornering. Winter traction earns strong praise (7-10 range) for reliable performance in snow and slush, though ice traction shows occasional variability. Wet conditions see consistent 9-10 scores for grip and hydroplaning resistance. Ride comfort receives high marks for smoothness, though some note moderate road noise. Treadwear scores (7-10) highlight good longevity for an all-season tire, with a few reports of rapid wear.

I bought the new Crossclimate SUvs purely for dry and wet performance and they exceeded my expectations... They perform very, very well in wet and in slush...

I bought the new Crossclimate SUvs purely for dry and wet performance and they exceeded my expectations. And they are dead quiet on the highway! On my tire test road, a downhill, decreasing radius, 180 degree highway on ramp, I could get my old front tires, Nitto CrossTeks, to squeal but for the life of me I can't get the CrossClimates to squeal....I don't want to tip over of course. AND, my steering is noticeably lighter.

They perform very, very well in wet and in slush, haven't had the opportunity to test in deep snow but I don't expect all weather rated tires to do well in deep snow. My gas mileage has not improved or suffered, but I didn't buy them to improve mpg. Highly recommended!

I notice a clear improvement in traction (dry and wet), significantly less road noise, smoother ride, better grip on aggressive cornering (no more premature chirping) and generally a more confidence inspiring driving experience...

I swapped out my stock michelin touring all-seasons for this set after seeing glowing reviews. So far I have been extremely impressed. The old michelins were solid, but these are better in every way. I notice a clear improvement in traction (dry and wet), significantly less road noise, a smoother ride, better grip on aggressive cornering (no more premature chirping) and generally a more confidence inspiring driving experience. I look forward to testing their snow performance next winter, but just looking at the tread it's obvious they'll do better than a normal all-season. I have already recommended these to friends and family. So far they are the best tires I've had. Hopefully tread life will be reasonable.

...I'm an aggressive driver, driving mostly highway. In Florida, traffic moves at 80 and above on the interstate. These tires give me great control, and handle rapid changes in speed and direction without problem...

Replaced OEP run flats for this vehicle. To say this was a world of improvement would be an understatement. I'm an aggressive driver, driving mostly highway. In Florida, traffic moves at 80 and above on the interstate. These tires give me great control, and handle rapid changes in speed and direction without problem. Decent braking distance. Excellent wet driving traction, with no hydroplaning unless there's standing water. 17,000 miles on them at this point, no evidence of excessive wear with periodic rotation and balancing. An outstanding tire for the price.

...I drive over 60k miles/year, so hopefully the tread-ware will be better than my last set of Michelin Premiers, which I pretty much hated.

So far, so good. I've been driving in a late-season winter storm the last couple of days, and the tires have performed very well. They go through snow, slush, and snowplow-ridges with zero issues. Glare ice is not so great, but I didn't expect much there, as these tires are not siped. Overall, pleasantly surprised with their snow performance and happy with my purchase.
