TJ & Pirelli Talk Scorpion AS Plus 3 | Tire Rack

[@spumagu5225]

Two years later and these are what I chose and the Scorpion WeatherActive looks great as well.

[@csinalabama]

I just got 4 of the Plus 3's. I had them road force balanced and the highest tire was a 3 lbs. So much quieter and smoother than the factory Michelin's.

[@giermob11]

I have the verde plus in my discovery spor and wow!...on road performance is great but off road is awesome.... I went through mud, snow, ice and sand and didn't get stuck, very surprising

[@tirerack]

We're so happy to hear these tires have hit the mark for you! Thank you for sharing with the community.

[@fawad222]

I just bought these for my 2016 35I BMW X5. hopefully they are as good as everyone is talking about it.

[@tirerack]

We hope you enjoy your tires!

[@abhid7507]

How is the experience? Are you happy?

[@mahdavimail]

What's the difference between scorpion and scorpion Verde? Tnx for video

[@jpdoc5722]

is this great for RAV4 gen 5? ( on fence between 235/R55/19 vs 225 /R55/19 )

[@joseduranjr4963]

Please talk about the PIRELLI weatheractive tires for medium suvs like a Volvo XC60

[@robertrose3068]

I just read this was the best tire for 2024 Highlander Hybrid Platinums. As soon as the vehicle arrives, I'm switching. In other news, is anyone interested in buying 4 new Bridgstones chep? 🤷‍♂️🤓

[@A1-Odyssey]

Did you get them?

[@SUPERIMIAINI]

I have a 2018 Dodge Durango, live in Miami with 1 yearly winter trip up to Beech Mountain, NC for light to heavy snow. I definitely want to go away from the ecopia's on my rango, should I switch to the plus 2 or give the new 3 a try ? 265/50/20

[@wayditay9288]

Have Michelin Latitude Tour HP on our Lexus RX350. And these have fallen way off in handling and have added lotsa road noise in just 30k miles. So after doing tons of research I decided to look for Scorpion AS Plus 3. Unfortunately, 235/55x19 are nowhere to be had in Canada. Now I find out that Pirelli does not warranty V rated (or higher) tires if they have been repaired. The dealers say they will not/can not repair and reinstall them if they are punctured, for instance. And will thus offer no road hazard guarantee. This would mean I'd have to replace all 4 tires if one goes bad due to a simple road hazard. And that can be pretty expensive if I get a puncture at say 5k and it cannot be repaired due to Pirelli's restrictive policy. A Real Deal Breaker 🤨 Now going to continue my search and Michelin Defender LTX M/S looks good ..but way more moolah...

[@kevinW826]

Just go to an independent tire shop and they will fix it and put it on

[@toddmalone4384]

I wish you would address other features, such as does this newer AS Plus 3 include the Seal Inside technology?

[@nathankarnes8439]

why would they focus on something it does not have?

[@tomtalker2000]

@@nathankarnes8439 And how would we know that unless ALL area's are covered about the tire. You kinda contradicted yourself with that answer...(g)

Buy some slime. 😢

[@scott5055]

I’m between these and the Michelin defender for my Escalade v. Any recommendation?

[@blackseries99]

what did you end up with?

[@scott5055]

@@blackseries99 Perelli. They’re really good tires eventually I’ll try to Michelin out.

[@RQFumbles]

@@scott5055 I had Michelin Defenders on my 16 explorer sport and just got a set of Perelli Scorpions AS plus 3s on and I'm happy with them. The Michelins had some rowdy road noise at the end of their life so they let you know when its time, but they make driving feel confident in any situation. Also keep them inflated properly because they eat the tread if under inflated so bad it voids warranty

[@michaellaw2407]

I am wondering what the difference in terms of the compound is between Scorpion AS Plus 3 and the P7 AS Plus 3? They look identical

[@CCANGEL333]

P7 is for sedans and coupes.

[@fernandomauriciotorresgonz5438]

Recommendations for my Mercedes GLA250 ??

[@funkyboogiee]

might put these on my bmw x5 2013 model. maybe next week.

[@tirerack]

We hope you enjoy them!

@@tirerack now i'm leaning towards the bridgestone Alenza AS ULTRA because i can use my firestone card and get 6 months no interest. i wish i could do the same w pirelli scorpion

[@davidtchanturia6630]

I have always ended up buying Michelins, when the decision time comes I reach out for Michelin all the time. So I want to make a decision of buying Pirelli's but I am a little scared to because I don't want to be disappointed. Since I have an SH-AWD Acura MDX which came with Continental Contact Pro Sport (Only maintains its performance at about 20k and then deteriorates quickly, the handling becomes lose and bumps become harsh) I am not sure about Pirelli AS Plus 3 sport type driveability. CrossClimate 2 for My MDX or Pirelli AS Plus 3?

[@afjalhossain2911]

Bought these for my MDX 2015 AWD and been driving for last couple of days. I will do a review after driving 1K miles to allow these tires to break in. Coming out from Micheline Defender LTX. I can tell that I lost crisp handling by a little bit but these aren't nearly as harsh on small bumps.

[@Just_A_BeGUNner]

@@afjalhossain2911 Any notable difference in wet handling? About to have these put on my wife’s Nissan Armada next weekend. I have the Michelin Defenders on my Frontier and I was a little surprised that traction is more easily affected by standing water than I had hoped.

[@mohosafful]

@@Just_A_BeGUNner Pirelli Scorpion AS3 has softer sidewall compared to Michellin Defender LTX, so for large vehicles like Armada, you can expect softer & comfortable ride but you will miss sporty handling and on center feel of the steering initially. But tire behavior change with threadwear over long time. And it is too early to draw final conclusion just yet. I haven’t driven in rain or wet condition yet to tell how does it fares. But I would expect only top notch grip Pirellis are known for.

[@pamharcarik9157]

I recently purchased the Scorpion AS Plus 3 for my 2016 Mazda CX5. I have less than 1,000 miles on them so I can only offer preliminary comments. These tires make my CX5 a blast to drive. My Mazda is easy to drive and I am very comfortable on highway ramps. They are remarkably quiet on smooth road surfaces. I felt very confident driving in a recent heavy rain storm. On the plus side I wanted a sporty ride that wasn't too harsh. The Scorpion AS Plus 3 delivers in this regard. On the downside, these tires are sporty and taut, and I think they communicate more road imperfections into the cabin than some of the reviews would have lead me to expect. So, it just depends what you want. A sporty tire or more grand touring tire. I was torn between this tire and Michelin Defender T+H but went with the Scorpion for the sporty ride characteristics. BTW, at the risk of being a little negative, this interview was completely pointless. The questions and answers were so generic that I didn't learn anything new. Very disappointing.

[@Jon-nz3dm]

Stick with the Michelin if you're concerned about tread life performance. Other tires can compete when new but when they start to get worn down Michelin really holds onto the performance more than others. This is why they are worth paying a bit more for, as you can run them longer without worrying about grip. Just my opinion, but there is data that backs up the longevity point of view.

[@jimtanouye7773]

Need some Tires - TJ talks too much, did he make the tires or did Perelli ?

[@ozrodmd]

Tire rack sold me outdared tires. Never again.

[@thepinkdiamonds8370]

Stay away from these tires. They are noisy and ride very hard.

[@tirerack]

We're sorry to hear these tires didn't live up to your expectations! Next time you're in need of a new set, please reach out. We'd be happy to help you find another option that may better suit your needs.

[@tomtalker2000]

Either they aren't the right tire for your vehicle. Or they were mounted badly. These tires are NOT noisy and ride hard at all. They are one of the quietest tires on the market right now my friend.
