The Scorpion WeatherActive is Pirelli's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of CUVs, SUVs, and pickups looking for comfort and confident performance in dry, wet, and light snow conditions. The Scorpion WeatherActive is designed as an all-weather tire to meet industry severe snow service requirements for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol alongside its all-season performance.

Scorpion WeatherActive callouts

The Scorpion WeatherActive's innovative polymer/resin compound is molded into a V-formation directional tread pattern designed to deliver dry, wet, and wintertime performance as well as quiet on-road comfort. A narrow, long footprint and rigid 3-rib block design provide lateral traction and stability through turns in dry and wet conditions. A central zig-zag groove and trumpet-shaped lateral grooves work together for wet weather handling and hydroplaning resistance. Multiple biting edges within the tread blocks combine with deep sipes and generous shoulder notches for increased snow traction sufficient to receive the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

The internal construction of the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive consists of a two-ply polyester casing supporting two steel belts. Two polyamide reinforcement plies enhance high-speed stability and performance.

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.

...What really surprised me is how much better they are than the previous tires on dry and wet conditions. More quiet and better traction in both conditions...

Soo much better than the OEM Nexen tires we had. I bought these with triple peak rating because we were taking a January trip to the Colorado mountains. I did need to go through a couple of passes where chain law was in effect, and they performed great, almost as good as dedicated snow tires.

What really surprised me is how much better they are than the previous tires on dry and wet conditions. More quiet and better traction in both conditions. These have exceeded my expectations, I really couldn't be happier.

...No all season tires are perfect for winter driving, but this set of tires were very good in dealing with snow and slushy condition. Most of my driving is done between Ontario, NY, MA, and PA. Winter driving in this region can be tricky...

Very good tires. Works really well in all seasons and all types of driving/surface conditions. The spring, summer, and fall season driving experience was excellent. No all season tires are perfect for winter driving, but this set of tires were very good in dealing with snow and slushy condition. Most of my driving is done between Ontario, NY, MA, and PA. Winter driving in this region can be tricky. After a couple of mild winters, I did not want to commit to another set of dedicated snow tires. I am fairly happy with these tires during the winter months. I am very happy with these tires for the other 3 seasons.

I love the tire design and tread pattern. They work really well on wet and dry surfaces. Time will tell how they do for trade ware. If they give me even close to expected trade life, I would buy these tires again when I am in the market.

I've had these tires for nearly two years now and have finally experienced driving through some heavy snow, slush, and ice to warrant writing a review, and from my personal experience they perform flawlessly. I never had a problem moving in and out of deep snow from a stop and on slushy roads I can stomp on it and the tail would swing out in a very controllable fashion. These WeatherActive tires are very confidence inspiring for winter climates...

I've had these tires for nearly two years now and have finally experienced driving through some heavy snow, slush, and ice to warrant writing a review, and from my personal experience they perform flawlessly.

I never had a problem moving in and out of deep snow from a stop and on slushy roads I can stomp on it and the tail would swing out in a very controllable fashion. These WeatherActive tires are very confidence inspiring for winter climates. They also have good grip in the rain and I haven't experienced any aquaplaning through stretches of deep water.

I live for cornering and have sporty cars and a sportbike and these tires are actually quite impressive on the big Highlander. I love a good challenge and under dry and clear conditions these tires feel planted and corner amazingly well, they are also very quiet with a comfortable ride.

After 25k miles of use they also appear to be wearing very well, I would definitely purchase these tires again. From my experience the WeatherActives are exceptionally good for what they're designed for as an all-weather tire with no compromises. I have the excellent CrossClimate 2's on my other car though I will probably replace them with the WeatherActive when the time comes.

Much quieter than expected, dry traction is outstanding, no hydroplane issues at all the few times we've had steady rain. Haven't had any snow to test yet. Mounted on 2018 Equinox AWD 2.0 Tubo and cornering improvement is very noticeable, shoulders no longer dip. I feel like research on the Tire Rack paid off and am totally satisfied with these Pirellis at this time. Tire wear and noise are both important to me so time will tell long term but so far at least could not be more satisfied.

These are the absolute best tires I've ever had, period! Even though they are supposed to be an inevitable compromise between tarmac/dirt/wet/snow, I have found them to truly excel in all those categories, including most importantly that handling on dry tarmac is superbly responsive and the noise is more than well handled. I also drove them extensively during the 2023 snowpocalipse at Lake Tahoe (picture snow and ice on twisting alpine roads amidst blizzards) and the amount of confidence these tires had given me was such that I lost nearly all fear and was driving almost as spiritedly as I would on a highway in summer. Especially when I intentionally tested emergency braking on snow covered ice: they clung to the road with unbelievable traction, showing almost zero slippage. Buy these!

...They ride beautifully...quiet is not adequate to share how nice the ride is...

These tires were selected for their wet traction and light snow traction as primary attributes. Low road noise and drive comfort (i.e., cornering, etc.) were a close second. The tires were back ordered but most definitely worth the rate. They ride beautifully...quiet is not adequate to share how nice the ride is. Have driven in the rain with them and felt totally confident; important sensation for my wife. Tirerack did not over/under advertise and that is why I am very loyal to this company. The support Seth provided throughout the entire sale was excellent. Well done!

These are fantastic tires. A huge improvement over the OEM Continental Extreme Contact. These tires provide a much more comfortable ride, noticeably less road noise and a greater surefootedness on hills, corners and when stopping in both dry and wet conditions (even light snow). I’m curious to see how they wear, but as far as comfort and performance, these are very good tires, literally night and day difference from the Continentals the car came with.

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!

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.
