In the world of all-terrain tyres, finding the perfect balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort can feel like an impossible search. But today we introduce the Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus—a tyre that promises to deliver both without compromise.
Off-Road Performance Without On-Road Sacrifice
The Scorpion All-Terrain Plus represents Pirelli's latest addition to their renowned Scorpion family, designed specifically for SUV and ute owners who want serious off-road capability without sacrificing daily driving comfort. This tyre seems tailor-made for weekend warriors—those who commute during the week but crave adventure when Friday rolls around.

Aggressive Tread Design with Purpose
One glance at the Scorpion All-Terrain Plus reveals an aggressive block design that means business. These aren't just for show—the purposeful tread blocks act as the tyre's primary weapon against various terrains, including: rocks, snow, mud and grass.
Pirelli's engineers have incorporated "grippy edges" into the tread design, allowing the tyre to effectively bite into various surfaces for enhanced traction. This thoughtful design ensures confident handling across diverse off-road conditions.

Water Management System
Wet conditions pose a significant challenge for many all-terrain tyres, but the Scorpion All-Terrain Plus appears well-equipped to handle them. The tyre features long, continuous grooves running from front to back that function as efficient channels, quickly evacuating water and mud from underneath the tyre's contact patch.
This drainage system not only improves wet weather performance but also enhances the tyre's self-cleaning capabilities. The design effectively prevents stones from becoming lodged in the tread, meaning you won't be carrying half the track home with you after your adventures.
Surprising On-Road Comfort
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the Scorpion All-Terrain Plus is how it addresses the typical drawbacks of aggressive off-road tyres. Where many competitors produce a noisy, bumpy highway ride, Pirelli has implemented innovative noise reduction technology.
By varying the size and spacing of the tread blocks, Pirelli has created a pattern that disrupts the noise frequency, essentially functioning like noise-cancelling headphones for your tyres. This clever engineering allows for a quieter, more comfortable ride during everyday driving.

Built for Durability
Off-road enthusiasts need tyres that can withstand punishment, and the Scorpion All-Terrain Plus delivers with reinforced sidewalls. This added protection—described as body armour for your tyres—provides crucial defence against rocks and other hazards commonly encountered during off-road excursions.
All-Season Capability
The Scorpion All-Terrain Plus comes with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, certifying it for use in severe snow conditions. Combined with its mud and snow rating, this tyre offers genuine four-season performance, making it versatile enough for year-round adventures regardless of weather conditions.
