Pirelli Scorpio Ice & Snow 19 Inch

I had a minor accident with the Touareg (couldn't stop coming down a steep snow covered driveway) forcing me to replace my Yokohama 19 inch tires. I am picking the vehicle up Monday evening in Denver with four new Scorpion Ice and Snows. Should have a chance to test it in snow by the end of the week.

19 inch Scorpions

I have the 19 inch Pirelli Scorpios Ice and Snow tires. So far so good. I drove through some snowy conditions yesterday but haven't given them a real good test yet. I bought these because I have a very steep driveway and did $11,000 worth of damage sliding down the driveway in late October. Going skiing tomorrow.

Scorpion Ice & Snows

I have driven in some moderate snow, but no substantial accumulation since putting these tires on. I don't know about the load factor. I don't do heavy towing, but I do carry a 300 pound dirt bike on a hitch carrier which probably equates to about a 500 pound tongue weight. I had this on when I drove from Denver to the Tahoe area at speeds of up to 90 mph. Everything felt fine and I couldn't notice any significant difference from the Yokohamas that I had on previously. I do know that the magical words "ice and snow" on the sidewalls will qualify me to proceed through snowtire and chain controls in this area.

Scorpion Ice & Snows

Finally ran my 19 inch Sorpion Ice & Snows in deep wet snow today and they were great. With the differential locked I could go through pretty much anything. Not quite as good as my Jeep Wrangler with aggressive mud and snows, but not bad at all.
