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.

...Very good wet traction...
This is a great tire. Quiet ride in comparison to the OEM tires. Very good wet traction. Snow traction is also good. Dry traction is excellent. I have already bought another set for my sister's Honda and she loves the tires.

...No rain since I bought but some standing water on roadway the day I had them installed. Old factory tires with 22K miles used to pull hard with water on the road. These Pirelli Scorpions no issues...
Still breaking tires in (500 mile break in period). Haven't really given the tires a workout. No rain since I bought but some standing water on roadway the day I had them installed. Old factory tires with 22K miles used to pull hard with water on the road. These Pirelli Scorpions no issues. Check back with me in 6 to 8 months when I've had a chance to give these tires a proper shakedown.
Most customers report excellent winter traction with many 9s and 10s, especially in snow. Some note mixed ice performance with scores 4-6.

...Went through huge snowstorm with them at about 12000 miles - felt in control at all times.
Very happy with the Scorpions. Ride like a cloud but grip when needed to. Very quiet. We feel safe and secure - huge improvement over Bridgestone OE tires. Some slight hydroplaning in extreme puddles/washouts on highway at high speeds - none in city or country road driving at normal speeds. Went through huge snowstorm with them at about 12000 miles - no problems, felt in control at all times.

...Purchased especially because specs indicated improved performance in light to heavier snow conditions and we had not driven rear while drive daily in decades... Very confident standing starts; improved stability; control/responsiveness...
Staggered new Pirelli's replaced Bridgestone Potenza 225/60/18 on front and Bridgestone Turanza 235/60/18 on back first week in January 2024. Not sure home many miles on old tires so not a objective comparison. Purchased especially because specs indicated improved performance in light to heavier snow conditions and we had not driven rear while drive daily in decades. New Pirelli's noticeable quieter immediately from change over. Much Less interior road noise. In past 4 weeks have driven in dry; rain wet; sleet/squall wet/windy; snow; a 300 mile trip. Very confident standing starts; improved stability; control/responsiveness. Smoother braking. VSC did not engage as with previous rear tires. Significant improvement so far. My cousin had been purchasing through Tire Rack for years. I researched on the website of and on for a month as we had been driving front wheel drives. $80 rebate, free 6 month financing aided better quality tires compared to other vehicles we own. Also lower installation cost from local Auto Repair Shop. Had been purchasing tires from national discount chain.

Replaced the standard factory tires on my Highlander to these Pirelli AS3 based on Tire Rack reviews, and I am very happy. These tires match up great on the Highlander. Very quiet and smooth ride, better than the factory tires, and the snow traction is better. They handle really nicely when I want to push the Highlander on curves. They seem quieter and smoother than before somehow. I can't rate these highly enough as I am very happy with these Pirelli's, my first try of Pirelli on any vehicle, and I will be a buyer again.

...Dry traction and handling are outstanding...
Great tires, have not had any issues with them so far. Dry traction and handling are outstanding. Will see how they wear, but so far so good. Quiet when new and lightly worn, no excessive road noise, which is a big plus. Has handled rain well - did not experience hydroplaning or loss of traction even in heavy rain. No idea how they behave in the snow.

Excellent handling in both wet and dry conditions. Very quiet and soft ride. Usually buy Michelins but thought I would try them as some said their Michelins were a little noisy - really satisfied with these tires and would buy again!

I just rolled over 30K and they still perform like new and you can barely tell there are any miles on them at all!...
I don't know what kind of secret sauce that Pirelli is using with these tires, but OH MY --- are these fantastic performers. I have replaced the factory tires on my last 4 vehicles and had previously enjoyed the Cooper CS5 Grand Touring, but when I got my Murano, I found that I could not get them in my new tire size. I did extensive research and came to the conclusion that the Pirelli was the tire for me. Instantly smoother and quieter than the admittedly decent factory Bridgestones. I just rolled over 30K and they still perform like new and you can barely tell there are any miles on them at all! I have been singing the praise of these tires since day 1 and continue to be pleasantly surprised with the balanced performance in ALL conditions. I live in Minnesota and see plenty of snow and ice and I can crawl through over 12 inches of snow like it's nothing. Lateral control on ice has been nothing short of stunning, and summer/dry conditions are smooth, quiet, and controlled. Cannot recommend enough.
...After 15,000 miles I think they are working out pretty good. Tires came with 11/32 tread depth and currently have 9/32 across the tread on all 4 tires...
Have been running Michelin Latitude Tours since new. Decided to try the new Pirelli AS tire to try and get increased wear from the set. After 15,000 miles I think they are working out pretty good. Tires came with 11/32 tread depth and currently have 9/32 across the tread on all 4 tires. They didn't balance out quite as smooth as the Michelins but are quieter and handle well in both wet and dry. I haven't had them in snow or on ice so no opinion there. The cost per mile is working out to be much lower than the MIchelins and since this Cayenne Diesel is a highway cruiser not a mountain carver I'm very satisfied.
