Very good tyre

published

Got these fitted on my new MQ Triton. Really good tyre on and off road. Not so good in mud as expected. Affects fuel economy quite badly, but it's expected from an at tyre. Wet weather handling is good and dry bitumen is excellent. The sidewalls seem strong as letting air out doesn't result in ballooning sideways.

Good then very bad

published

I have now had 2 sets of Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres on my Landrover Discovery 3.
I replaced the 1st set after 58,000 kms which I believed to be a reasonable mileage for this vehicle so without consideration I purchased them again.
I don't know why but the second set have only done 31,000 kms & are already down to the wear bar.
I have had regular wheel alignments & not changed my driving habits, nor have I subjected them to any different conditions, so can only assume that they were produced at a different factory.
Whilst their handling capabilities are very good I could not under any circumstances recommend this tyre & certainly would never consider buying them again.

55000km and still going...

published

Have done 55000km on these tyres, although I have the 265/70x17 LT which may be influencing the high km, however these tyres still have another 10-20000km left in them before they will need replacing, meaning 65-75000km tyre life which I am extremely happy with. Tyre longevity is a big sale item for me and they have mainly done highway driving and some beach work. Only got bogged once in really fine powdery sand but they still pulled me out in reverse so was really happy with their sand performance which I expected being a fairly highway trended AT tyre pattern. Driven once on very rocky off road and showed no signs of any chunks being taken out of them. So impressed I will buy another set when on sale.

Good so far

published

Recently we have fitted a set of these in our Pajero. They seem to be very soft and I'm not 100% convinced about offroad performance. The only drawback is they are currently made in China not Italy (as were all my motorcycle Pirelli tyres I've owned) So far good grip on and off the road. I will update the mileage as we take them for a real test - a big lap around Australia.

Endless Punctures

published

Ran them at 40 psi towing van and 30 when off road. Replaced 3 as they held stones and when back on black top ground into the tyre. I have had 4 punctures all up one being from road kill. Tired changing tyres on the side of the road so I am changing tyres.

Long lasting tyres which can handle rough roads and are not noisy on bitumen.

published

I fitted Scorpion ATR 235/65 17s after the factory 225/65 Bridgestones were wearing out rapidly at 16,000km. The upsize corrects the speedo reading error, according to my GPS. The first set of Pirellis lasted 65,000km on 95% sealed and 5% stoney dirt roads. The softer Bridgestones would have been cut to hell on the dirt roads outside Alice Springs. These tyres are surprising good off road considering their low noise tread pattern. I run them at 35 PSI unloaded and 40 PSI fully loaded. Excellent on dry roads. You have to take it easy on wet bitumen as they don't like cornering hard in the wet. Braking and take off is fine dry or wet. Overall a very good performance considering the price I paid.

Wet driving dangerous on an awd toyota kluger

published

No good on wet road. Dangerous did not held the road fitted to toyota kluger awd 2014 kxr.
Pirelli did not want to know about it as usual all talk no action, went to bob jane t marts in belconnen and helped me out with change over pirelli only 6000 km!!!

On to my second set

published

Have just had a full set fitted to our Toyota RAV 4, 2013 model, after having had a set previously fitted to an earlier RAV 4. Very impressed with the first set (Changed from Bridgestone @ 27,000km) so went looking for same as needed new tyres at 40,000 km ( This Time) from new. This time new were Yokohama's. We all know tyres on new cars tend not to last long, better this time than last RAV 4. Cannot fault them .

I replaced my 2008 Scorpion 235/65/17 AT with ATR...what can I say...I prefer the former. They sit full body - a perfect “O“. The ATR sits a little flat...a deflated “O”. Fuel consumption has gone up, perhaps because the tyres are still new after 2k kms and I have to gas them to get them going. Looks wise, prefer AT to ATR....they lhad better looks....overall, a little disappointed.

No brainer to put them on my new ute.

published

Put these tyres on 2 years ago on a discovery 1. After always having Michelin I was not convinced at the time of purchase. These tyres are awesome. 60000km later and they don't even look worn. On road capability is better than some road tyres. Stick like..... in the wet. Gravel/dirt roads, eats them up, and the tyres don't get chips from the gravel.
Every weekend I have pulled a small boat and some of the boat ramps are just mud on rocks. The scorpions somehow found traction in that and always got me out with ease.
Getting a new ute today. Today it get's new shoes-that's right scorpions.

Good 'ol tyres served me well

published

These tires came with my 2013 F150 I bought new in November 2012. I am buying four new ones now with 53,000 miles on them. They would probably last another 5,000-10,000 miles but I just want to get new ones. When I first saw these on my F-150 I was surprised. It is a truck and these are Perellis. Didn't seem to "gel." But they did great on our farm where we take the truck off road and up and down very slippery, muddy, snow-covered hills at times. Also over weeds, sticks, brush, etc. I had one puncture that was repaired. I recommend these tires.

Best tyres I've ever had.

published

By far the best tyres I've ever had, they r excellent on and off the road and last for ages. You get what you pay for and u feel safe.
The tyres are so strong and handle well in the wet, would definitely buy a set of scorpion ATR's next time.

Worn out tread pattern inner and outer edges of tyre within 30K

Best set of tyres i have had over 45 years of driving

published

I purchased 5 Pirelli Scorpion ATR's, 285x70xr17 just on 5 years ago to replace the original tyres on my Landcruiser 100 series from Nedlands Tyre Co, in Nedlands WA.
The original tyres had only done 62,000 kms when I put the new Pirelli's on. Now at 182,000 kms, over 120,000 kms, still estimate another 15,000 kms at least before I need to replace.
They have performed in wet, dirt, sand and any environment, as well as having towed a 3 ton Jayco for over 40,000 kms.
could not fault the performance, however, have religiously rotated all 5 every 10,000kms.
would not hesitate to recommend to anyone for longevity and performance across the board.

Cheers
