Pirelli Scorpion ATRThe Scorpion ATR is Pirelli's On-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed for pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicle drivers. The Scorpion ATR is designed to master long highway journeys, wet roads and the challenges of winter driving by combining paved road comfort and handling with rough terrain grip and maneuverability.

The Scorpion ATR features a silica-enhanced tread compound molded into a quiet-running, symmetric all-terrain type tread pattern. A virtual continuous center rib and large, stable shoulder tread blocks provide directional stability and steering response while interlocked independent tread blocks in the center tread area further promote acoustic comfort. Sweeping central circumferential grooves and lateral shoulder grooves channel water to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The independent tread blocks are siped to provide extra biting edges that enhance off-road traction on loose surfaces and in snow. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cord to support the tread area providing predictable handling and high-speed control, while polyester cords stabilize the sidewalls and enhance ride quality.

The Scorpion ATR is Pirelli’s On-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed for pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers that want on-road civility along with off-road capability. Initially used as Original Equipment on Ford F-150 FX4, Lariat, and King Ranch models, as well as the Lincoln Mark LT, the Scorpion ATR is now available in a range of traditional light truck sizes, as well as extends All-Terrain Performance into the large rim diameter tuner sizes appropriate for today’s street/sport trucks.

Pirelli Scorpion ATR on Vehicle
The Scorpion ATR demonstrates off-road capability as it drives along Nevada’s rock-strewn trails.

Because the availability of the Scorpion ATR’s expanded size range preceded our 2006 test season in South Bend, members of Tire Rack Team were invited to experience the Scorpion ATR at a ride & drive conducted by Pirelli for journalists and tire dealers on the highways and desert north of Las Vegas, as well as at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Our first impression of the Scorpion ATR’s evolution was its expanded size range. Arriving at the Speedway, we saw test vehicles ranged from the Jeep Wrangler to the Lexus GX470, Ford F-150, Cadillac Escalade, and Hummer H2.

Pirelli Scorpion ATR on Vehicle
The Scorpion ATR proves its off-road traction on the sculpted obstacle course in the half-mile clay oval.

While no direct competitive tire comparisons were possible, the Scorpion ATR showed its on-road civility during our 35-mile trip from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to Nevada’s Valley of Fire State Park. The tire’s combination of ride comfort, noise level and highway tracking on Interstate 15 was noted and its responsiveness and cornering capability along the twisting park roads was commendable. The Scorpion ATR later showed its off-road capability as it easily crawled up and down the terrain when we traveled some rock-strewn trails.

During our return to the Speedway, we encountered a hailstorm that blanketed the road and the surrounding landscape with pea-size hail for a short time. While it didn’t take long for the hail to be melted by contact with the warm earth and ensuing rain, neither condition appeared to faze the tires.

Once back at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, we had the opportunity to drive slowly through an off-road course sculpted in the dry infield of the Speedway’s half-mile clay oval. This gave us the opportunity to experience the tires’ traction up and over steep manmade inclines and descents, as well as feel their resistance to slipping sideways when driving across slopes. In all cases the tires performed as anticipated, exhibiting little wheelspin and sideslip.

I literally drove 64 miles this morning through Hurricane Helene. Zero issues with hydro-planing or wet traction. At one point I was running around 50mph on a nearly 1" deep layer of water on an open flat highway and the ride was so smooth that I did not notice... These are the absolutely best wet traction tires I have ever owned. Bar none!!!!

...Wet control inspires confidence...

This is my second set. Dry traction makes my truck a canyon carver. Wet control inspires confidence. Quite adept on a dirt road be it firm or loose. I tried Geolander A/T in between and was shocked how poorly they matched up to the ATRs nor did I like the higher rolling resistance of the Geolander costing my 1.5mpg on the highway. I am not a rock crawler nor a poser and neither need nor want an aggressive appearing tire. I've got over 400,000 miles on my Sierra from the Texas Hill Country to the Colorado Rockies to the Mojave frequently carrying a load or pulling a trailer in all kinds of weather. From ranch roads to Interstates. I have had some occasions in snow when they were a bit slippery but nothing scary. I run them at 45psi and have even temps across the tread. A harder compound would last longer but wouldn't stick as well and if the tires don't stick you have no control.

...They have great wet traction on road, I have never felt uncomfortable driving in heavy rain...

These tires have 6/32 tread left at 81,000 miles. Incredible!
Mostly highway use on a f-150. They are quiet, have worn perfectly with rotations, and have great traction. Recently driven in some snow and icy roads and they have good traction still. They have great wet traction on road, I have never felt uncomfortable driving in heavy rain.
They do look a little grandpa ish though. Not the tire for towing anything heavy. Side walls are soft and give a little too much when cornering or wind swaying. I pull a small 4,500lb travel trailer and the tires just seem a little squish and give me a bit of sway feeling in the rear end.
Over all a great passenger tire, just not for heavy loads.

...Then the 2nd week we went from 80F to -3F windchill with a snowfall of about an inch that ended up turning to a thick layer of ice. Very cautiously drove a 20 mile round trip before the roads were plowed or salted and shocked that I didn't lose traction in a few areas where I would usually end up sliding. I drove carefully knowing some spots had previously been a problem, but I encountered zero sliding and safely made it back home...

Been driving on this tire for almost 2 weeks now. And with our weather the past 2 weeks I have encountered pretty much every condition because Missouri in Winter. First week normal sunny, dry condition and tires did great. My truck always has a pretty decent pull to the right even after having 3 alignments. After these tires were put on I have almost no pull to the right anymore and hadn't considered my other tires may have been making the condition worse, so I am delighted about this! Then the 2nd week we went from 80F to -3F windchill with a snowfall of about an inch that ended up turning to a thick layer of ice. Very cautiously drove a 20 mile round trip before the roads were plowed or salted and shocked that I didn't lose traction in a few areas where I would usually end up sliding. I drove carefully knowing some spots had previously been a problem, but I encountered zero sliding and safely made it back home. So far I'm pretty impressed with these tires and was very pleased with the price. And of course, the fast shipping from Tire Rack is always on par with excellence.

Very happy with these tires. They track true to steering input, stand up to a pickup load of firewood without complaints and maintain their air pressure much better than Asian tires I have run on this truck in 20 years of ownership. They are great all around pickup truck tires.

...Good ride. Quiet. Comfy...

Easy-peasy. Quick delivery. Same as my original tires. Good ride. Quiet. Comfy. I don't do a lot of "tough use" with the vehicle. Basically, I enjoy driving the F150 more than driving my Lincoln MKX and use the pickup as our vehicle if we are going somewhere. These tires are a good option for me.

...the tires, though they handle well, are downright noisy. On the same roads, my wife's Hyundai (equipped with a different Pirelli Scorpion) is much quieter...

After having a superb set of Firestones for almost 70,000 (and were sadly discontinued), I purchased a set of these. I wish I hadn't. I live in a rural area, driving back roads, Interstates with periodic business trips to Philadelphia and New York. The very first snow storm with 6-8" showed how poor these tires performed. I live in central PA in an area that often get large snow dumps. Unlike the Firestones, these treads can't clear themselves of packed snow. Instead, it's like driving on bald tires with little traction.

Jumping ahead to dry roads, the tires, though they handle well, are downright noisy. On the same roads, my wife's Hyundai (equipped with a different Pirelli Scorpion) is much quieter. And finally wear. The tires have worn poorly and unevenly though I have them rotated, balance and aligned at regular intervals. With less than 30,000, my mechanic suggest getting new tires before winter hits. Great. Not what I wanted to hear for a car with 157,000 miles. I miss my Firestones.
