Pirelli Scorpion ATR

These have lasted 4 years of driving so far. they are quiet and i think they are smooth driving but it is hard to tell because the roads are so bad! im happy with the wear and not noisy though Show details

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… Read more

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 60,000+ 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.

ATR's on a Forester – Step 1 - Just bought from Tyresales.com.au, installed by City Discount Tyres. That process all good and good price. ($164 ea + $80 Alignment). Step 2 - replaced Michelin SUV, not happy with. 26,000 km Step 3 - have only had a few days but so far loving them. Cornering is best I have had on a Forester (this is no6).

noise. Are inflated to 38psi. Tread depth is good 9.5 mm to bottom of groove. Step 4 - high (100kph) speed and dirt road. Very stable directionally, almost set and forget they stay true to where you point them. Dirt, couldn't pick difference between firm surface and loose gravel even on bends, hung on really well. Yes they are new see how they go later but very good start. Took on trip through Victoria, high speed gravel, forest roads and accidentally deep soft sand. Fantastic! I only hope they go the distance, because grip is great. I will update this review as time goes on.

Took them up to the snow in Vic. Absolutely wonderful.

20ks so far, Cape York and back, good on road and sand, not too bad in the tough stuff – These were recommended by Jax - our remit was "safe family car tyre that will get us to Cape York and back". Got the 265/70R17s for the higher load rating (over the 275/65R17s) for our 100 series Land Cruiser. Pros: Good on road - getting close to some HT tyres for grip Quiet Comfortable Wearing well - we expect to get 50ks + out of these,… Read more

great for a family of 6 that goes bush reasonably regularly

Tough - very little damage on some very rocky bush tracks and the Bamaga Bypass road ocean waves

Cons:

They're not the last word in off-road capability. However they've always got us through - up Palm Creek and down Gunshot

Despite a reasonably high grip threshold, they can lose grip quite quickly in wet situations

If you want something a with a slightly higher off-road slant than these (with comensurate reduction in on-road capability), I would buy the Hankook Dynapro ATMs.

Would I buy again? Yes.

scorpi yeah – one of the best tyres i have ever used great for highway & light off roading ie tracks etc waiting for the HW i was given with the new car to depleat so i can get another set of scorpions Show details

Best off the best – No problem with my tyres . Never had to do wheel alignments . People will always talk crap. Done 160 k on the same set off tryes . Sand , mud , mountains .. best tyres for my vw. Time to get new set now . Show details

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). Show details

Pirelli Lt tyres – Replaced Hankook for Pirelli on Ram 1500 at 35000km 50% worn. Barely got 35000 with Lt Pirelli . Wore extremely quickly and were expensive tyres. I have now replaced them with ZETA Lts at about 40% of the price. Zeta have a 4.4 rating compared to 4.1 rating on this page. Show details

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. Show details

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 Show details

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. Show details

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. Show details

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 Show details

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.

Ok does what it says – Ok does what it says. How many words do I need to write before I hit the minimum. Still need another 10 words, oh what do I say. I'm not sure Show details

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 Show details

Good Highway Bias Tyres – Fitted a set 3 years ago. After 50k replaced front tyres - rear are still good at 60k. Very good on the bitumen - have done trips to WA , Vict and NSW. Quiet and good handling tyre. Off road are ok but if you are doing more than 20% off road you should look at something more tougher - had puncture to tyre with 50k wear from sharp rock which maybe is understandable.  Show details

Not value for money – A245/70 R 16 Skorpions fitted as new to my VW Amarok. We are just shy of 48K with these & will maybe make 50K if lucky. They handle well on the black stuff but 98% of our driving has been in Darwin town with some highway use. Handling on the small amount of dirt has been acceptable. I will purchased one more to mate with the as new spare & will… Read more

replace the others with something more durable. There are many more tyres out there, some at a lower price point, that perform better.

These tyres have changed – I have had two sets of ATRs before this set.The tyres have performed Ok however after 15k the tread has started to flake off. Looks like a rat has chewed them. Admittedly I have towed a caravan and done some dirt road work. I Purchased May 2018 My set are made in CHINA. I will not purchase another set.  Show details

Pirelli a sporty tyre – These tyres are so durable and functionable and very sporty. These increases the mileage along with the stability. Long life tyres but lacks wet grip. The dry grip is awesome and can do corners. Worthy for the price provided. Sometimes bumpy on uneven roads and platforms but good on smooth road  Show details

Best Tyres I have put on my 4WD – The tyres are the best set I have put on my car, my fuel economy has improved, the ride is a lot smoother and there is a lot less noise than the previous tyres. They are a well priced tyre, great value for money well worth comparing if you are in the market for new tyres.  Show details

Just a great tyre – I've had two sets so far, and they've done the Cape, including the OTT, the Gibb, with all the associated detours, the Tanami, the Oodnadatta and Birdsville Tracks and the Plenty Highway. No punctures, no chipping, just a perfect all rounder. High speed travelling or atrocious surfaces are all the same to these tyres. They run well at low pressures and perform well on all surfaces. I'd recommend these to anyone.  Show details

Immediate Improvement Onroad – Loved the old Bridgestones on my 4WD, but searched extensively online for good priced offroad tyres and eventually scored a great price at Tempe Tyres on a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR. The Scorpions made an immediate improvement to the grip and onroad comfort of the truck and I've also noticed better handling overall. Limited offroad tracks at this stage, but I'm very pleased with my choice.  Show details

excellent tyre – These have been the third set of tyres on our santa fe and by far the best. They have been very quiet and just feel so much better than the Kumho we had on before, but they were more expensive than the kumho too. It is fairly hard to remember back when the kumho's were new but i am sure these are alot better, remember when changing tyres you drive… Read more

in when your old ones are at their worst and drive out when the new ones should be at there best. But these pirelli tyres certainly feel great. They just seem to be a good tyre

excellent thread – The tyre thread seems to be thicker than other brand. It looks good in our car. The service provided by the company fitting them were excellent. It was so easy to adjust the tyre air pressure. Reasonable in the rain seems to have good grip on the road. highly recommended  Show details
