5 Things You Need to Know About Pirelli Scorpion AT+ Before Buying
After more than 10,000 kays driving on the Pirelli Scorpion AT+ all terrain tyre, Jared gives us the down low on his experience with them. Did they live up to being the "unicorn" all terrain tyre that Pirelli promised they would be? Tune in to find out! Full Transcript: Gudday I'm Jared from Tyre Review and for the last ten-thousand K's or so I've been rolling on the new Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus, which is an evolution of their old pattern the ATR, but not to be confused because the new one is apparently better and more developed and that sort of thing. Actually I've been really impressed with these tyres. We took them to the West Coast as part of the Tyre Review Winter Adventure, and we thrashed the hell out of them over there and they came back for more. And then all the way back we, because we went to Strahan which is about three or four hours West of where we are now, and on the road pushing them hard they were really, really good, but also for the remainder of the ten-thousand K's they've impressed. On the farm, which is where we are right now, or on the road, or with passengers in the car. These are a more aggressive pattern as well, so they're really, if you're looking for that aggressive look on the road but also for something that's going to be aggressive for actual full driving then thoroughly recommend them. The only thing I've noticed is they're a bit more of a solid tyre, so comfort factor is down slightly, but the road handling and the four wheel drive capabilities really makes up for that, so as a well rounded tyre I'd thoroughly recommend them. These actually are a snow rated tyre so they've got the three-peak rating, which means that you can take them up into the snow and they will tolerate those conditions and actually you don't necessarily need a snow tyre for the snow. We took these up to the snow in Central Highlands Tasmania and got into some deep snow, and they actually, they loved it. Again, thoroughly recommend them. The new Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus, after ten-thousand K's looking good. Thoroughly recommend. See our full review over here: https://www.tyrereview.com.au/pirelli-scorpion-at-long-term-review
Pirelli scorpion AT+ Studio Overview
We take a look at the new Pirelli Scorpion AT+ in our studio. Pirelli reckons this tyre is bigger and badder than the previous Scorpion ATR, but what makes it better? Take a look as we give it a once over. Full Transcript: Gudday, and welcome back to Tyre Review. Today in the warehouse, we have got the new Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus. Now this is the update from their previous all-terrain tyre, which was the Pirelli Scorpion ATR. So ATR is the old one, AT Plus is the new one. The ATR was actually a reasonably well-rated tyre on Tyre Review. It's actually got 4.1 out of 5 stars last time I checked. So this tyre has got to do pretty well to actually get better than that. Pirelli's pretty stoked with it obviously. It's a brand new tyre, so they're talking it up. But they're saying that it's really good off road, so good for rocky, sand, and general sort of off road terrain that's not full mud terrain sort of stuff. But they're also saying that it's really good for on road as well. But taking a closer look at the tyre, Pirelli's says they've designed this tyre to actually eject everything out the sides, so mud, rocks, water, the lot. They've designed it to be a more aggressive tyre that's actually going to clear itself out much better than the previous tyre. They also point out that it's got a newly reinforced carcass on the side here. The tread blocks here on the upper side will make a really aggressive ... or more aggressive. So I actually quite like the look the those, because they look great when you're in the mall, but they also might be more likely to bite into the terrain if, say, you're stuck in a rut or whatever off road. These tyres are also a three-peak mountain snowflake rated, which means that they're certified for conditions beyond what normal mud and snow tyres would be able to handle. So they're supposed to provide better traction on snow than most other tyres would do. And maybe this is actually something to look out for because, hey, I live in Tasmania and we get snow here every now and then. Even snow on the beaches. So if I get stuck in snow, then I want a tyre that's three-peak mountain snowflake rated, because it means that I'm more likely to not get stuck. I also really like the look of the tread pattern on this tyre. You can see that it's obviously quite widely spaced, so they've got good space here for ejecting rocks, mud, snow, etc. But they've also got a good continuous tread pattern. Whichever cross-section of the tyre you take, there is always a lot of tread on the road, which means that they're going to be nice and quiet. They're also going to offer a lot of on-road grip. And these sipes here are also supposed to give you extra grip when you're on the road as well, because they're supposed to lock together and provide really solid tread blocks. But also off road, help it to conform around rocks and that sort of stuff. So Pirelli says this is a really good tyre in off-road situations. It says it's a really good tyre in on-road situations. So have they been successful in making the unicorn of all-terrain tyres that's perfect in all worlds? We're going to find that out. This is actually going in on the Ford Ranger, Tyre Review Ford Ranger as our long-term test tyre, which means we're going to be running for more than 10,000 Ks. It's also one of the tyres that's participating in our Tyre Review winter adventure, which is going to be on the west coast of Tasmania this year, which we're really, really excited about. So we'll give it a hell of a thrashing during that and then report back to you about exactly what we thought about the tyre during that time. So again, 10,000 Ks, longterm test, but also the winter adventure. So stay tuned. We'll update you on how we went.

Full Transcript: Jared: I'm Jared from Tyre Review, and we're here on the west coast of Tasmania for the Tyre Review Winter Adventure. This past weekend, I've been driving on the Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus. It's a brand-new tyre they've just released. We've been doing some pretty serious tracks over here. We hit Montezuma Falls, which is pretty muddy, pretty rocky; and then we hit Climies Track, which is pretty rocky and pretty muddy. Today, we're on the dunes as well. So, we've done a pretty good [inaudible 00:00:52] of different tracks. These tyres were probably the second lightest on the trip. We had five mud-terrains, two all-terrains, or actually, well, four mud-terrains, two all-terrains, and one rough-terrain, RT. I'm pretty impressed with how they've gone. I've really only got stuck when I was driving to get stuck. It's funny when you got the cameras egging you on. But, they clean themselves well. I had pretty good control through all of the mud and all the rough tracks, and they climbed really well as well. I'm probably slightly on the more aggressive side as a driver, but it's what I do to have fun and hopefully not break the car. I rated these tyres. They perform well. So yeah, I'd certainly recommend them, and that's it.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 Studio Overview - Green Performance Tyre
We got the new/updated Pirelli Cinturato P7 in our studio for an overview. This one has just been released, but based on the same of formula as the previous Pirelli Cinturato P7. Pirelli is aiming this tyre at the green performance tyre market. That means you can still have fun with it, but it's going to last you longer than say one of their peak performance tyres. Let's take a look at the tyre itself in this video.

It's the new one just released. It's new, but based on the same sort of formula. So it's, Pirelli's green performance tyre. That means you can still have fun with it, but it's going to last you longer than say one of their peak performance tyres. Can't push it as hard as one of those, but it's going to last longer on the road for regular driving. It's interesting. So I was talking to one of the Pirelli guys before, and basically they release a sort of a facelift update on these tyres every three to four years. And so, they release it and then they actually start working on it pretty much straight away. So they're always working on the next version of this tyre and probably most of the other tyres out there as well. So it's interesting to know about that cycle. So this is an updated version. They're saying it's going to be better in the wet, and it's going to have reduced road noise. They actually have to release these new versions every three or four years, because they have to keep up with various emission standards. So, for instance, in this case, it's actually the Euro emission standards. And so a key factor of that this year, or this time, was the drive by noise. So they've worked to reduce that in this tyre. But they do say it's actually reduced braking distance by about four metres and it's got better fuel efficiency. So, you know, all the usual little increments that you're expecting to see. So you can see if we look at the tread, that this actually is a performance tyre. So it's got these three consistent ribs that go all the way through. You don't see any of those bigger voids that you might see in a regular passenger tyre. It's got two hefty shoulders. It's actually an asymmetrical tyre. So you've got an outside and an inside of the tyre. And so it's still got sipes. So it's still gonna evacuate the water pretty well. And these big channels running through will help evacuate the water. So, you know, that's probably why it's better at stopping the wet, because they have actually updated the compound on this as well. So, there's lots of little tweaks to sort of that formula that we know and love. So this tyre comes in an increasing range of sizes and actually they build a lot of these for OE as well. So making them for OE means that they come on new cars. And they actually design specific tyres, so variations of this tyre, for specific cars. So interestingly enough, they might actually have a slight camber on them or a difference in the tread pattern, that actually makes up for little bits and pieces that happen on the car. So, they might go and make the car, and all these design and all these little components come into it. And then, it's actually down to the tyre to make up for any little variations that might happen right at the end. So that's where the OE homologation comes in. Particularly with vehicles like, you know, the xDrive or the Audis, with their transmissions that are a little bit finicky about what sort of tyres go on there. So something to keep an eye out for. But anyway, so this is Pirelli's new or updated Pirelli Cinturato P7. It's their green performance tyre. And we're going to put it on our Renault Megane test vehicle and see what Grant thinks about it. So, tune in at about 10,000ks, to see that long-term review.
