The Scorpion AS Plus 3 is Pirelli's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks who want a smooth and comfortable ride with all-season confidence designed to go the extra mile, mile after mile. Specifically built for North American drivers, the Scorpion AS Plus 3 focuses on increased ride and noise comfort and longer tread life along with consistent traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including light snow.
Utilizing functionalized polymers, the advanced tread compound is designed to generate higher levels of traction and provide longer mileage than previous-generation tires. The carefully engineered, asymmetric tread pattern features minimized void space for maximum contact with the road surface to increase overall grip and improve wear characteristics. Larger, sequence-tuned shoulder blocks help improve dry handling while minimizing tread noise, and the optimized mold profile helps further distribute forces for even wear and enhanced wet performance. Evenly distributed grooves and channels are designed to work in unison for predictable wet performance and hydroplaning resistance. The Scorpion AS Plus 3 employs a variety of full-depth and 3D sipes focused on retaining slippery and inclement weather traction throughout the tire's life. Horizontal 3D sipes combine with vertical sipes in the shoulders for increased biting edges while retaining good clear road handling characteristics. Zig-Zag and deep sipes on the inboard tread blocks offer consistent traction as the tire wears through wet conditions and in snow and on ice.
The internal construction of the Scorpion AS Plus 3 consists of a two-ply polyester casing designed to blend handling with comfortable road manners. Robustness and high-speed stability are ensured by twin steel belts which are reinforced by two polyamide cap plies.
El neumático Scorpion AS Plus 3 de Pirelli pertenece a la categoría: Turismo Para Toda Estación (Crossover/SUV) y fue desarrollado para conductores de utiliautos (crossover), vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés) y picops, que desean un andar tranquilo, confortable y confiable durante todas las estaciones del año milla por milla. Fabricado específicamente para conductores de Norte América, el Scorpion AS Plus 3, se enfoca en proporcionar un mejor andar, niveles bajos de ruido y un desgaste lento, conjuntamente con una tracción consistente en condiciones secas, mojadas e invernales, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
Utilizando polímeros con funciones específicas, el compuesto de caucho avanzado, ha sido diseñado para generar niveles altos de tracción y proporcionar un mayor número de millas que la generación anterior de neumáticos. El patrón asimétrico de la huella, cuidadosamente diseñado, minimiza los espacios para mantener mayor contacto con la superficie de la carretera y aumentar la tracción general, a la vez de disminuir el desgaste. Bloques o tacos grandes en los hombros entonados en secuenciaayudan a mejorar la maniobrabilidad sobre superficies secas, a la vez de minimizar el ruido de la huella. El perfil optimizado del molde ayuda, aún más, a distribuir las fuerzas para obtener un desgaste parejo y mejor desempeño en condiciones mojadas. Ranuras y canales distribuidos uniformemente, han sido diseñados para trabajar conjuntamente, y obtener un rendimiento predecible en condiciones mojadas, a la vez de aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). El Scorpion AS Plus 3 utiliza una variedad de pequeñas ranuras profundas y tridimensionales "3D", enfocadas a retener tracción en condiciones resbalosas o inclementes durante el ciclo de vida del neumático. Pequeñas ranuras 3D horizontales combinadas con verticales, en los bloques de los hombros, aumentan la cantidad de bordes adherentes, mientras mantienen buenas características de conducción sobre carreteras limpias. Los bloques en el sector interno, poseen ranuras profundas tipo zigzag, para proporcionar tracción consistente sobre superficies mojadas, con hielo o nieve, a medida que el neumático se desgasta.
La construcción interna del Scorpion AS Plus 3 cuenta con dos capas de poliéster diseñadas para combinar maniobrabilidad con el desempeño normal en las carreteras. Fortaleza y estabilidad a velocidades elevadas son alcanzadas por la incorporación de correas gemelas de acero, las cuales son reforzadas por dos capas de poliamida.

All-Season vs. All-Weather Tires: What’s the Best Touring Tire for Premium CUVs? – 2024 Test 2 – With Winter Update(22:11)
We’ve tested Touring All-Season tires before, but never like this! Eight Touring tires, the best of the best, both 3PMSF branded [all-weather] and traditional all-season options, take to the street and the track to see how they stack up. Using our new Alfa Romeo Stelvio to represent the popular CUV segment, TJ and Brent put these eight contenders through the paces on the road, on the track, and in the winter elements to get a read on what to consider when comparing all-weather vs. all-season tires.
Ratings data demonstrates the Michelin CrossClimate2 excels as a Grand Touring All-Season tire, with strong scores across key categories. Comfort receives high praise for smooth ride quality, though some note slightly elevated road noise. Treadwear ratings indicate long-lasting durability, a major plus for year-round use. Winter traction impresses in snow and slush, though a few users report mixed results on icy surfaces. Wet traction and hydroplaning resistance earn consistent 9-10 scores, ensuring confidence in rainy conditions. Dry traction and responsive handling are standout strengths, with near-perfect ratings for grip and stability. Overall, it delivers reliable all-season performance with minor trade-offs in noise refinement.

...I have NOT hydroplaned once in these tires even when I definitely should have...
These are single handedly the best tires I have ever purchased, ever. I was hesitant at first to buy such “premium” or “expensive” tires but they are well worth the extra money. I have 10,000 miles on them, as well as almost a full year, a spring, summer, fall and particularly grueling winter and so far you cannot tell that the tread has worn even a little bit. Where I live, throughout the year we get highs of 100 in the summer, and in winter we get below zero with 12+ inches of snowfall. It’s now February and after 4 weeks of constant snow, sleet and ice I can confidently write this review claiming these may be the best tires offered for any car period. The accord crosstour, while not having a world famous 4WD system will always do “okay” in snowy conditions. But this winter with these tires, I did not slip, slide or have any issues coming to a stop like I have with past tires. I tried several times to get “spirited” in an empty icy parking lot and THEY WOULD NOT BREAK TRACTION. It actually felt like I was cheating having these tires on. Not to mention the summer performance of these tires is phenomenal. There’s minimum road noise and you have a sense of “grounded” that, at least for me, I have never felt before. I have NOT hydroplaned once in these tires even when I definitely should have. I cannot rate these highly enough. I cannot recommend these tires enough. Go ahead and spend the extra $300. What you lose in money will be far compensated by the safety, reliability, stability, capability, and dependability of these tires.

Posting this after only a couple hundred miles, so take the review FWIW. Found out my previous tires needed replacement after driving in wet conditions and hydroplaning even at relatively low speeds. Of course, this happened on Thanksgiving day. Once we got to our destination, I hopped onto TireRack.com and started researching. Found these were highly rated for wet conditions and placed an order. Got them installed a couple days later. Had to drive ~ 120 miles for a quick visit to family. Ride out was excellent in dry conditions. Ride home was more challenging. Drove ~ 2 hours through a mix of snow/sleet and eventually rain through central PA in early morning. Roads had not been cleared or well cared for. Tires performed well. Seem fine around town as well. So far, so good!

...Everyone in my family is switching to these tires even though we live in SC, we see lots of in the rain and occasional in snow in the mountains, the wet traction is superior on these tires.
I moved from a set of original Michelin CC tires to the CC 2's. The difference is night and day, the 2's have much deeper treads and yet quieter than the originals. Traction is superior so far, although no snow driving yet.

...When it snowed, again I expected the worst but will rate it the best...
I always purchase high end luxury or sport tires depending on the vehicle. I am shocked at how smooth and quiet these tires are on a soccer mom SUV. When it snowed, again I expected the worst but will rate it the best. While these are higher priced than most, I definitely feel I got my moneys worth.

Very grippy, on dry roads and wet. Light snow traction is very good - inspires confidence. Only complaint is that these are noisy, but that's to be expected with a tread pattern that's this aggressive. Overall, a great tire experience.

Nice looking tire that is great on snow. Fantastic treadwear.
However.... they started to "sing" after about 5k miles. Slow or fast. Hot or cold. Very noisy and annoying!

This is easily the best SUV all season tire I have owned across three different Subaru Foresters and a Nissan Pathfinder. The treadwear is outstanding as I am nearing 60K miles on this set, and have close to 2/32 left before I hit the wear bars. I will likely get a new set before winter just to be safe on ski trips to northern NH and Maine. This tire is outstanding in wet conditions and also in any type of snow. It is not studded, so icy conditions are what they are and as mentioned the treadwear is excellent. Handling is also outstanding. There are cheaper options, but I will be buying another set!

Outstanding performance in all street and highway driving conditions in Norrhern CA. Good wear. Presently have about 30k miles on the set of tires, looks to be good for another 20k miles. Would definitely buy this tire again.
