2023 Tyre Reviews SUV Winter Tyre Test
6th of 9 tyres
  • Best in the dry with quickest lap and short braking, fastest wet handling, good in the snow, low noise.
  • Average wet braking, average aquaplaning resistance.
  • The new Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 was the best in the dry overall, the fastest around wet handling, though it couldn't quite match that in wet braking, good in the snow, and one of the quietest tyres on test. It did struggle a little more in the deeper water of aquaplaning and like the Goodyear, didn't have a great rolling resistance, but overall a good tyre. Recommended.

Latest Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 Reviews

Given 59% while driving a Volvo XC60 (235/55 R19) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
I had them on my Volvo XC60 for two consecutive winters. The tires are OK but not especially silent (even for a winter tire). The fuel economy dropped a lot (-2 mpg) too. The grip on snow was great though. The wear is average, they would need replacing after one more winter and a total of around 20k km.
I would not buy them again...

First impression after 3 days of use in daily traffic.
Very good tyres, previous winter tyres I was using were Goodyear Ultra Grip Performace + and I was very pleased with them, but Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 feels better, I would say noticeably better. Dry, wet, snow grip is very good (did some extra acceleration and breaking - no complains), got some short/light slip on black ice, but only while driving more sporty. Handling feels great.
I am pleasantly surprised because I am not a fanboy of Pirelli, some 10+ years ago was disappointed in their summer tyres and decided to not buy them. But new car came with factory mounted Pirelli summer tyres and they was ok, so decided to give a try for winter tyres too.
