The Scorpion AS Plus 3 is Pirelli’s Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks who want a smooth and comfortable ride with all-season confidence designed to go the extra mile, mile after mile.
Specifically built for North American drivers, the Scorpion AS Plus 3 focuses on increased ride and noise comfort and longer tread life along with consistent traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including light snow.
Utilizing functionalized polymers, the advanced tread compound is designed to generate higher levels of traction and provide longer mileage than previous-generation tires.
The carefully engineered, asymmetric tread pattern features minimized void space for maximum contact with the road surface to increase overall grip and improve wear characteristics.
Larger, sequence-tuned shoulder blocks help improve dry handling while minimizing tread noise, and the optimized mold profile helps further distribute forces for even wear and enhanced wet performance.
Evenly distributed grooves and channels are designed to work in unison for predictable wet performance and hydroplaning resistance.
The Scorpion AS Plus 3 employs a variety of full-depth and 3D sipes focused on retaining slippery and inclement weather traction throughout the tire’s life.
Horizontal 3D sipes combine with vertical sipes in the shoulders for increased biting edges while retaining good clear road handling characteristics.
Zig-Zag and deep sipes on the inboard tread blocks offer consistent traction as the tire wears through wet conditions and in snow and on ice.
*- Casing and tread pattern are designed to soak up vibrations and road irregularities for a quiet, comfortable, and forgiving ride *- Revised structure of shoulder blocks increases casing stiffness for improved handling and stability *- Network of deep zigzag sipes and 3D sipes at shoulder provide consistent braking and cornering traction *- Newly-engineered polymer-rich tread compound extends tire range and service life as well as boosting winter performance *- Tread pattern designed for optimized road contact, traction and longer wear cycle *- Mold profile designed for improved contact patch, enhancing braking, wet and dry traction and tread life
