Have not yet had to test these in the weather for which they were purchased - northern Minnesota winter - but impression so far is very favorable. Plush, quiet ride is better than that of the Continental all-season tires that came on my Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe new; dry and wet traction leave nothing to be desired.
The Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 is a winter tire that's designed for use on SUVs and crossovers and offers drivers enhanced winter performance, a quiet and comfortable ride, and improved tread wear.
Features & Benefits
Winter tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently above 45 degrees Fahrenheit
Black sidewall
Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified for use in severe winter weather conditions
Specialized winter tread formulation for consistent traction and performance
Pirelli's Scorpion Winter 2 is designed for crossovers and SUVs, delivers tenacious grip in winter conditions, and has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service. Pirelli designed the Scorpion Winter 2 with a specialized winter tread compound that stays flexible at subfreezing temps, molded into a directional winter tread design with sweeping V-shaped grooves that feature chamfered edges for enhanced traction in wet or wintry weather. The Scorpion Winter 2's grooves extend from edge to edge with variable widths to help mute road noise and enhance traction, along with a dense network of 3D sipes that chew through snow and slush. Snow edges on main grooves actually trap and retain snow for snow/snow friction; like all winter tires, the Pirelli Scorpion 2 shouldn't be used if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
