Dry Performance: 8.9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;7605&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dry-traction-9-2-10\"><strong>Dry Traction: 9.2\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WeatherActive easily surpassed both its Pirelli siblings and other-brand rivals on dry roads. The tire-road connections took little time (if at all) to be established, and instant grips could be felt so clearly from our cabin that a slightly wilder starter at <strong>52 MPH<\/strong> barely threw the car off its momentum. We moved through roadblocks and overtook vehicles in breezy confidence, even managing to dive slightly deeper through 180-degree turns despite our quite heavy cargo (550 lbs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there were still some minor over-reactions on rougher tarmacs, they disappeared instantly the moment our Jeep tipped on highway textures. Smooth yet decisive, Scorpion WeatherActive settled snugly into the road patterns, choking accelerations well even when we neared <strong>85 MPH<\/strong>, and rarely showing burnout symptoms through curves. Your adventurous strikes through back-to-back zigzags also will set well at tamed inputs, and you should likely have quite a pleasant experience with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardly any drawback could be spotted after our ten-day tests. Minus occasional stutters at unplanned turns (which soon resolved themselves seconds later), safety compromises were very unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-dry-test-1024x568.jpg\" alt=\"Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive dry test\" class=\"wp-image-7598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-dry-test-1024x568.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-dry-test-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-dry-test-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-dry-test.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive dry test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"corner-stability-9-10\"><strong>Corner Stability: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WeatherActive was almost just as confident around corners as with straight-line endeavors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For gentle, sweeping corners with wide approach angles, you could hardly sense any significant difference in traction maintenance: just as in our previous tests, carrying 550 lbs was a breeze here thanks to the stable on-center ribs and very confident three-rib designs, swallowing down unwanted wavers. Even intentional oversteers and extreme brakings mid-way pulled off nicely without plummeting or sending the car violently forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might want to see more refinements over tough accelerations. However, given that extreme speed dynamics are usually not the priority for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-all-season-tires-for-suvs\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5226\">SUVs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-truck-tires\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5960\">pickup trucks<\/a>, this oversight is still generally acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"steering-response-8-7-10\"><strong>Steering Response: 8.7\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive was satisfying in this regard, delivering quick and responsive steering feedback that punched in the most appropriate timing. Delays or muted feels were only few and far between on graded surfaces (e.g., mountain passes with constant, long twists) and barely lurked around in any other situation. For casual driving at <strong>25 to 30 MPH<\/strong>, you could trust them to handle unexpected mishaps or roadblocks with impressive deftness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While towing slightly beyond 500 lbs did not affect the steering as much as we thought, we still found the feedback to get sharper when cargo was reduced to 300-350 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-wet-performance-9-10\"><strong>2. Wet Performance: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;7607&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wet-traction-9-1-10\"><strong>Wet Traction: 9.1\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, Pirelli Scorpion easily seized the top ranks. Except for occasional stutters before corner entries or during texture transitions (which were expected for slippery surfaces), we could not spot any significant difference between WeatherActive\u2019s general behaviors in wet and dry weather. Even in stagnant water as deep as 10 inches, the tire remained impressively composed (even more so when kept civilized under <strong>35 MPH<\/strong>) and navigated through the roads in smooth, decisive cuts comparable to a premium ultra-high-performance tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rough mountain passes with extremely sticky gravel and mud could hardly damper the car\u2019s momentum as well, evident in the way WeatherActive only took seconds to refill traction losses while stabilizing the ribs. Cornering attempts were a blast, so much so that we managed to strive through corner entries at 60 MPH from wide angles with no panics or immediate protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On another note, we did sense that the steering seemed to get slightly more distant in colder weather. But this issue is easy to fix; you simply need to pull the tire over for a brief rest every <strong>30-60 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-wet-test-1024x567.jpg\" alt=\"Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive wet test\" class=\"wp-image-7600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-wet-test-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-wet-test-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-wet-test-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-wet-test.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive wet test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hydroplaning-resistance-8-9-10\"><strong>Hydroplaning Resistance: 8.9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining lateral and trumpet-shaped grooves was definitely a smart move from Pirelli; they manifested an evacuation channel so capable and directive that water could barely get in at regular driving rates, resulting in clear, sharp tire-road connections not that much different from our dry-road endeavors. We intentionally revved up to <strong>60, 70, and 80 MPH<\/strong> to test the limits, and Scorpion did great in all of them, controlling and redistributing water in immediate, back-to-back intervals to ensure sufficient margins for our car in almost any driving situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep water beyond 10 inches with cargo over 500 lbs seemed to take a toll on the grooves, but not enough to sabotage the channels\u2019 excellent water evacuation. Still, if you are not confident, it would be best to avoid high-speed performances in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-tires-for-rain\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3026\">heavy rainfall<\/a> or keep your loading at a minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-winter-snow-performance-8-8-10\"><strong>3. Winter\/Snow Performance: 8.8\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;7611&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"light-snow-traction-9-10\"><strong>Light Snow Traction: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We were very impressed with Scorpion\u2019s outstanding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-all-season-tires-for-snow\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3035\">snow traction<\/a>, which frankly exceeded even some specialized snow tires we had tested. The grooves and sipes that worked well in wet weather carried almost <strong>99%<\/strong> of their confidence here, having little to no issues with speed changes and remaining unfazed at any tight crook or sharp turn. Braking distances were also a non-issue due to strong steering feedback, working well with our pedals to pull the car smoothly into stops and veer around roadblocks at critical timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow chains did not bring much difference &#8211; though that was mostly because the tire itself already proved very capable. As such, WeatherActive is the best replacement winter tire you can find, and there is no need for extra studs or chains even in heavy snow storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-snow-test-1024x571.jpg\" alt=\"Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive snow test\" class=\"wp-image-7599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-snow-test-1024x571.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-snow-test-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-snow-test-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pirelli-Scorpion-WeatherActive-snow-test.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive snow test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"deep-snow-traction-8-7-10\"><strong>Deep Snow Traction: 8.7\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased snow volumes did slow down WeatherActive\u2019s clawing actions around corners and during highway curves. Fortunately, the shoulder notches and deep sipes did a great job compensating for this instability, which helped WeatherActive regain some confidence to tackle snow of <strong>7-8 inches<\/strong> with only occasional, brief panics thrown in between. Our experiments on canyon roads and tight esses (with deep twists) also went on very undramatically for a non-winter tire, keeping over-reactions mostly under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of snow chains, you should be able to rev to 55-60 MPH on well-paved roads. Towing or adding cargo is also totally within reach in severe snow conditions, guaranteed consistent steering with no unplanned or wide-angle skids midway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ice-traction-8-6-10\"><strong>Ice Traction: 8.6\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice traction was also impressive, mostly comparable to our deep-snow tests, saved for slightly more unpredictable coughs on thick buildups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornering or spirited leans might need more caution than usual but could still be carried out safely with decent preparation and unwavering downshift &#8211; great news for pickup drivers that still have to carry <strong>400-500 lbs <\/strong>through ice terrains on a daily basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-comfort-8-9-10\"><strong>4. Comfort: 8.9\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>[visualizer id=&#8221;7609&#8243; lazy=&#8221;no&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ride-quality-8-9-10\"><strong>Ride Quality: 8.9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Scorpion\u2019s No. 1 spot in this regard is undisputed: it pulled smoothly at corners, settled well into constant switchbacks, and adapted with aggressive confidence to texture transitions without major protests. As such, unless your steering stutters or you startle the tires with abrupt sharp cornering, vibrations and jostles will be unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noise-9-10\"><strong>Noise: 9\/10<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>WeatherActive left little room for complaints here. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corwheels.com\/best-tires-for-comfort-and-noise\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5519\">Noise-sensitive<\/a> drivers will be extremely pleased with its excellent airborne control at low and high-speed rates alike, seemingly unaffected by the combined weight of passengers and cargo (<strong>500 to 700 lbs<\/strong>). Even our intentional trampling over sharp rocks and debris only resulted in faint protest hardly noticeable during fast-paced rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-treadwear-and-tire-durability-9-1-10\"><strong>5. Treadwear and Tire Durability: 9.1\/10<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that WeatherActive withstood broad temperature ranges very well (both summer and winter) and suffered from no punctures over pebbles, debris, and thick mud, we could gauge how well its internal composure translates to longer usage. The excellent <strong>60,000-mile warranty<\/strong> (6 years) will also settle your worries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
