Nearly killed myself driving on Pirelli tyres
Two year old Pirelli tyres exploded whilst driving on sealed road, dry weather and 50km/hr. Lost complete control of the car and did a 360 into a power pole.

Good typre, goes the distance.
I changed the Scorpions at 70k, for another set of Pirelli Scorpions. These have good grip in the wet, are not too noisy on the tarmac and look great on the Triton. The previous factory fitted rubbers only lasted 45k so sticking to these from now on. Mostly tarmac, but occasional driving on unsealed roads (national park and state forest clay/unsealed roads,etc).

Brilliant tyre
Very pleased with performance on and off road. I drive hard and most tyres give me about 20,000 KMs. These ATRs gave me 50,000 with good handling to the last. Good off road, but not a full off-road tyre. Have had 3 sets now on 2 Foresters, mine and wife's.

Barely got 40k out of them.
Paid decent money for these. Had them rotated etc. just didn’t last. Not happy and the tyre centre wouldn’t address the issues.
Definitely don’t recommend for the price of these tyres.

Poor wear and extremely noisy between 60-80km/h
Extremely disappointed and will never buy again, lucky to see out 45000ks, barely any off-road use. Quiet at first, wear down fast, then very noisy. Hard to believe other reviews.

Best tyres yet
Had these tyres on our SR5 Hilux for close to 3 years, with lots of hiway work (with and without camper trailer) and some off road work. Rotated regularly they have lasted more than 50,000km and are only now starting to chip out (not surprising as they're reaching the end of their tyre life).
Have done a trip to Fraser Island where they were aired down to 16psi without issue for the whole trip plenty of traction in the sand if you use your head and not just "floor it". Wet grip has been great on the hiway in the Hilux, a bit skiddish around town but most utes are.
Did a recent trip to Cape Palmeston and the tyres performed well except in the loose rocks (which is to be expected for an AT tyre)

Worst 4x4 Tyre I bought for my Prado
Good wet handling or city drive but at highway tyre tred chips out, For sand drive very poor traction. 18-16 psi won’t work in sand, still slipping and stuck.
Not recommending for 4 wheel drives

Quiet but a little soft and low wear
These tyres are quiet on highway good in sand but wear was disappointing. I assume soft compound hence wear was poor. 40000ks and barely legal even after wheel alignment and balance

Value for money
Bought these 275/55/20 tyres from Redback Tyres in Clontarf Qld for $260 ea fitted. Got a full set for my Amarok Ultimate. Had Bridgestone tyres on the car and decided to replace for island/beach driving. On bitumen they are sooo quiet. I have driven on wet and dry roads so far without issue. Sand still to be done but a trip to Moreton is only weeks away.
So far the Tyre is a superb choice. I recommend these.

I have done nearly 120000 on mine and cant fault them. Done the Cape/ OTT, been to NT. Good on beach also
Great highway, all weather ok great durability used in most conditions , sand corrugations highway. Fuel economy went up but larger tyre than original, I can highly recommend these tyres for all the conditions I used them

Very happy with these
I have these on my Suzuki Grand Vitara,which has just done 10000 kms in a months drive across Australia and back,2500 kms being on the gravel,some of it being very rough.These tyres were no trouble.They are very tough and I cannot distinguish their performance on sealed roads from the good HT tyres I had before.Take it a bit slow on the rough ,and air down,and I would be surprised if they would ever let you down.
Terrible service and a even worse tyre!!?
Just purchased a brand new set of scorpions and with under 2000km on them blew the first one to pieces as soon as I hit the dirt!!! Then just another few hundred kms on the dirt road I blew another one!!! The second one was a side wall puncher and I was able to fix. Theses are not a off-road tyre at all... they are soft and will not stand up to Australian conditions at all.
After contacting them I ended up getting put through to some cocky young guy who tried to tell me this happened because I was running to low pressure in my tyres!!! (32psi
... Read more for a dirt road) he said that I needed to be running 36 just 4psi different and he believed this wouldn’t have happened. I am a mechanic with extensive off-road experience and I was driving to the conditions and I told them that this was a critical fault with there tyre and the situation needed to be reviewed because it was a dangerous situation as I had 4 young children in the car when it happened! I basically told him that I believed there was a problem with the tyres I purchased and I would now need to replace the other two of my brand new tyres at a massive cost as I’m now out in the middle of nowhere. He just replied to me by saying that that was probably a good idea and there was nothing they could do to help us. This service and there product is just simply unacceptable. They may be alright on road but stay away from them if you are going anywhere near a dirt road. They should not be able to classify them as a AT because they are not even close. The side walls are paper thin with no reinforcement. I think this whole tyre needs to be professionally cut apart and reviewed and possibly even recalled it is misled and false advertising.Purchased in .

Excellent Tyres
I have found them excellent tyres. I believe that the results would be heaps better if you put all four of them (same brand). They last long if you drive sensible. Good value for money

Amazingly good tyres - wouldn't have anything else on my Landcruiser
I am on my third set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR's after trying Bridgestones and talking to mates who have run Coopers, Toyos and other brands. I run a standard 100 series turbo diesel Landcruiser now with over 330,000kms on the clock and tow an Australian Off Road Quantum camper trailer - near 2 tonne when fully loaded. The first set of Pirellis I purchased only gave me 45,000kms which was disappointing but my tyre dealer chastised me for running them too low at 35psi. The next set I purchased I ran at the dealers recommended 40psi and got 60,0
... Read more00+ kms. The current set I have has done in excess of 65,000kms and is still going strong - will probably get another 5 - 10,000kms out of them. All this with never a flat tyre or other "fault" over the three sets. I am not into rotating tyres and getting a wheel alignment every 5,000kms as is "required" by other tyre manufacturers who claim high mileages for their over priced tyres but I do change the front to rear and vice versa when I think it is necessary. The current set includes our recent trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs, across the Tanami, through the Kimberley including Cape Leveque, Gibb River Road, Mitchell Falls etc etc - in all about 8,000 kms of dirt road and another 4-5,000kms of bitumen. Tyre pressures were adjusted frequently to suit the road/driving conditions. I can't emphasise enough that tyre management and driving to the conditions wherever you are is the name of the game. I agree with other comments that these tyres are quiet and handle well on both dirt and bitumen, in wet and dry conditions - wouldn't buy anything else - don't see the need to. I am convinced that the Pirellis are great value for money.Purchased in at North Terrace Tyres, Adelaide for $880.
