Choose a tyre designed specifically for your SUV – go for the Pirelli Scorpion (S3) and experience a whole new level of control. This premium summer tyre has been designed specifically for luxury SUVs and crossovers. It is also designed to meet the requirements of electric and hybrid vehicles.
The model was developed in collaboration with premium car manufacturers, making it ideally suited to the needs of heavier, more powerful and more dynamic cars. This provides the driver with stability at high speeds, confidence when cornering and exceptional comfort during everyday driving.
Stability and control in the SUV segment
SUVs require tyres with enhanced durability. That is why Pirelli’s engineers have opted for a reinforced shoulder structure and an optimised tread pattern, which enhances stability when cornering and at higher speeds.
Rigid shoulder blocks improve handling precision and minimise tread deformation during dynamic manoeuvres. The modern rubber compound, on the other hand, has been developed to ensure the right balance between grip and durability. The result is even tread wear and the preservation of driving performance over a long period of time.
Safety on dry and wet surfaces
The Scorpion (S3) model’s asymmetrical tread pattern ensures excellent grip on all summer road surfaces. The improved tyre tread pattern enhances traction and ensures highly effective water drainage from the tyre’s contact patch. Wide circumferential grooves, combined with a system of transverse channels, reduce the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring good stability when driving in the rain. The Pirelli Scorpion (S3) also received the highest rating (A) on the European tyre label in the wet braking category.
Even on dry, sunny days, the tyre will ensure perfect control over the vehicle. Good traction when pulling away and accelerating, superb cornering grip and exemplary responsiveness to steering inputs mean that the car handles predictably, even during dynamic manoeuvres.
Designed for modern drives
The Pirelli Scorpion (S3) has been designed to meet the requirements of modern vehicles, including electric and hybrid models. Reduced rolling resistance improves energy efficiency, which can lead to lower fuel consumption or a longer range on a single charge.
The tyre’s reinforced construction copes well with the higher torque generated by electric motors, maintaining stability and durability even under heavy use.
Exceptional travel comfort
This tyre was designed not only to ensure a high level of safety, but above all to ensure a comfortable ride. The appropriate arrangement of the tread blocks also helps to reduce rolling noise, which translates into a more comfortable ride – both in town and on the open road. The tyre has also been optimised to reduce vibrations caused by driving over uneven terrain.
