Pirelli Scorpion Winter

Having used Pirelli Scorpions as a winter tyre before, I've always been extremely happy with their performance. For a soft compound tyre the wear rate on them is surprisingly good - I usually get a good 3+ winters on them swapping them in in December and out again round about March. They get a lot of driving on pretty poor country roads as well as longer motorway runs and, when the weather gets bad, inspire a great deal of confidence. Grip on the snow is exceptional. They are a little noisier than the Pirelli P-Zeros that I run the rest of the year but that's to be expected - generally you only notice that when switching back to the summer tyres!

Staggered size makes tire choices limited as the rear tires are 325/35 R22. Probably not the optimal winter tire size, original winter tires for the car was 20”, but these looks way better on the car and handles excellent in any condition in my opinion, also in the mountains.

Confident in every situation and comfortable, quiet, optically unobtrusive

Rock solid grip when accelerating, braking, and cornering. Superb in cold conditions.

Good tires a bit noisy but very good grip on snow. Regarding wear, I have only done 2000 km.
