This car is so planted ... Love it... thanks 👍

I was looking for a performance winter tire for my Macan S and choose the Pirelli Scorpion Winter. I knew I could probably get a better winter tire for snow traction, but wanted a performance winter tire for my spirited driving style when roads were dry. I am very impressed with the dry and wet handling, but not very impressed with the snow performance. The are definitely better in the snow than the all season performance tires I was using, but I expected a little more grip in light and heavy snow. Since it doesn't snow that much in SE Michigan, I probably picked the best winter tire for my needs. The dry and wet performance is impressive for a winter tire. If I lived in an area with more snow days, I would probably pick a different winter tire.

Purchased as part of winter wheel/tire combo setup for a late model Mercedes GLE and they work great for that purpose. Was concerned since the stock Mercedes tires are staggered summer 22" size, but these 20" Pirelli Scorpion winter tires work great and feel much more confident in winter conditions in the Pac NW.

Just got these a few weeks ago, just in time to experience the snowiest winter in Minnesota in years. These tires cut through foot deep snow and stop on ice perfectly. They saved me from a crash when a guy pulled onto a street from a driveway and never saw me due to large piles of snow. They work as good as Michelin ice X, which I have on another car. Tires were delivered to a local Discount Tire ifor installation in 24 hours.

I've owned many winter tires over the last 10 years, but these are probably my favorite yet. Great mix of off-snow manners combined with very predictable and confident ability in all sorts of winter conditions - of course, nothing short of studded tires will help a lot on sheer ice. These tires remind me of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tire when driven in the dry and wet (though not quite as sporty), and they perform as well as any other winter tire I've owned when things get frosty (Michelin X-Ice 1&2, Conti TS780) I drove these throughout last winter, starting in NC, and spent about 2 months with them in the CO mountains. They were great on the highway and around town, and I really appreciated their performance on snow-packed roads. The tires were excellent when driven through unplowed 6-12" dry CO snow, and were also very agreeable in wintry slush. Too early to tell on tread wear, but so far, so good. All I could ask for in a versatile winter tire.

First time going with a performance snow. If you don't have to drive on snow every day and drive assertively I'd highly recommend them. They pretty much matched my expectations my only complaint is we'll probably only get two seasons out of them (I powdered a set of ws80's in less than a season on a Miata so keep that in mind, I'd guess a normal user could get 4+ years). That said they grip like crazy in the dry/cold. Easily have more grip than the factory tires in warm temps. Historically my go to snow has been an altimax arctic which even while rally crossing and winter autocrossing last four or more years. These appear to wear more like a 200tw when driven like one. Nice sharp turn in which is expected when comparing to non performance snow tires. Since ground clearance isn't really an issue on the minivan I was willing to give up some deep snow traction for better dry/wet handling, would probably do it again.

Better than the factory tires in every way, even when it’s warm and dry out. Really impressed they ride and handle so well for any tire, not just among winter tires. Quiet too.

I bought these tires for my Mercedes ML to replace the all season Continentals that the car came with. The ride is very comfortable. I even thought that it was more comfortable than on the standard rubber. We had an enormous snowfall with the roads covered by packed snow and ice on the ramps. No problem. I am so impressed with the ride and handling that I am thinking that when my all seasons wear off I will go with a set of Pirelli summer.

This is the second season on these tires and they perform very well. Cornering on icy roads (understeer) is the only minor issue I have.

I have had varied Pirelli Scorpion Tires and several vehicles now and they are all a FABULOUS value. The snows are great all rounders. If you lived in cool/cold climates, you could run these all year round. They are quiet, VERY smooth, yet handle (skip Barber trained racer) as well as anything that has been on the respective vehicles. Very comparable to Michelin Latitude snows at a MUCH better price. I currently have these snows on my RRS, a Lincoln MKC (they came off an Evoque) and that Evoque had the summer Scorpions which were a highlight of a vehicle with an atrocious transmission. Would I put these on my Evora--> NO! A luxury sedan where the emphasis was on winter surefootedness, --> absolutely!

Mounted the tires in late December 2019 before trips into the Rockies. Handled Houston winter well as well as the lower temperatures in the mountains. Finally swapping back to max performance summer tires at March 15, 2020 because winter is no longer a risk. Recent temperatures in Texas have been from 30F to 85F... tires have handled and driven well from -10F to 85F over 90 days without abnormal or accelerated wear. Good tread remaining after 8,500 miles even at the recent temperatures. Should get another winter season (i.e. 8,500 miles at least) next winter.

If you want to keep your BMW handling like it does on summer tires, these are the the winter tires you want. Great steering feel and response despite the tall tread. Road noise was very quiet when new (I threw them on and drove half way across the country) and have only gotten slightly louder over 5,000 miles. Living in Colorado, I have seen all sorts of weather in the winter. From 70F days in Denver to -17F in some parts of the Rockies, these tires have performed exceptionally in all conditions. They feel great when carving through mountain passes. Even with hard packed snow or slush on an unplowed lane, you'll have the confidence and traction to pass slower drivers in plowed lanes! These tires are so good that I actually become frustrated with everyone around me when it snows, knowing how capable the car is with these tires on. I have no problem going the speed limit when it's snowing -- the only limiting factor being visibility.

A quick story: I drove up to Steamboat Springs during a snowstorm this past weekend. The roads were super slick, and the ambient air temperature was -17F. These tires gave fantastic feedback, and you could instantly tell when and where the road was icy. I had to make an emergency braking maneuver when an oncoming car lost control around a corner and came in completely sideways. It was obvious they were going too fast and were on the wrong tires for the conditions. My car came to a complete stop from 40mph with minimal ABS intervention. Luckily, the other vehicle managed to regain control after a big tank slapper, but had it not been for the superior traction of these tires, I could have easily locked up and slid as well.

The only time I've had issues was due to my own stupidity -- I drove into a 12" deep unplowed turnoff to prove to my girlfriend how capable the tires/car is. Well, because I came to a complete stop, we got stuck. But I was able to rock the car out after flattening the snow around the tires. Didn't have to dig it out!

This has turned out to be a nice sporting winter tire, which is quite different from more "serious" winter tires like the blizzaks. Steering response is quick and controlled. They are responsive enough that if someone were to swap my goodyear all seasons for these on a cold day, I would generally not be able to tell anything had changed. They "feel" just like a sporting all season tire, which is great. Outright grip on dry roads could be better, but as the roads here are constantly covered in salt from November through March, I'm really unable to tell if the grip is bad or if the roads are just dirty (I suspect grip is a little low). Still, these are by far the sportiest winter tires I've ever been on. In the snow and ice, they offer about 90% of the grip of my previous blizzaks. They are certainly better than any all season you'll ever use, but they lack the tenacious grip of a true one-purpose winter tire. Overall, I view it as an acceptable trade off. In the past, I used to dread the winter months, as my blizzaks represented the death of any sort of handling feel for 4 months through the winter. The flexible sidewalls delayed steering response by a huge margin, and it felt like my I had traded my Charger in for a 2001 Chrysler town and country. With the Pirelli's, the sporting feel ls no longer sacrificed. The only real negative I have is treadwear. It is awful. I have so far used these tires for a little over 11,000 miles, and they are all down between 5 and 6/32nd tread. Just about done. I realize I'm running these on a near 500 hp car, but I have certainly NOT been doing burnouts or hooning around...it's winter after all. I'd say 15000 miles is about the most you can expect out of these. Still, it's a darn fine 15000 miles. Good snow traction, good noise levels, excellent sporting feel, and limits high enough to keep things entertaining.
