Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow Winter Tire
Get winter ready with the Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow. Built for cold climates, it pairs a cold-weather rubber blend with dense siping and an efficient tread pattern that bites into packed snow and holds traction on icy surfaces. Wide grooves evacuate slush, and a balanced casing supports stable highway manners with a quieter ride than many winter tires. Choose Scorpion Ice & Snow to add confidence when temperatures drop and roads turn unpredictable.
Key Features and Technology
Scorpion Ice & Snow prioritizes winter confidence without giving up daily comfort. Its cold-weather compound stays pliable below freezing, so the tread conforms to the road for grip under acceleration and braking. A dense network of zigzag sipes creates hundreds of biting edges for traction on ice and packed snow. Directional-inspired tread blocks and wide lateral channels move slush and water away to help resist hydroplaning. Reinforced construction supports precise steering and even wear, which helps maintain a stable, quiet ride on dry, cold pavement.
Winter Performance You Can Feel
In deep or packed snow, the siping and snow-focused edges help the tire claw forward and brake with authority. On icy intersections, the flexible compound and micro-edges improve initial bite to reduce slip as you pull away. Wet winter roads benefit from wide grooves that clear slush and standing water, supporting confident control at speed. On dry, cold asphalt, stabilized tread blocks keep handling predictable and the ride composed, so daily commutes feel calm even when the forecast turns harsh.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
Find the Scorpion Ice & Snow in popular sizes, including 225/65r17, 235/60r18, 255/55r18, 255/50r19, and 275/40r20, with select run-flat options in certain fitments. For best results, match your OEM size and load and speed ratings, and install a complete set of four winter tires for balanced traction and braking. Always confirm the correct size on your vehicle's door jamb placard or in the owner's manual, and consider a dedicated winter wheel set to simplify seasonal changeovers and protect your primary wheels from harsh road conditions.
Pricing and How to Buy
Pricing for the Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow varies by size and spec, and run-flat versions usually cost more. Shop by your exact size to see current availability, promotions, and bundle savings on mounting, balancing, and TPMS service. We recommend buying a full set for optimal winter safety. At checkout, choose a nearby installer and schedule a convenient appointment, and our fitment support team can verify size, load, and speed ratings before the order ships for a smooth, worry-free install.
Installation and Winter Care
Install four Scorpion Ice & Snow tires to keep grip balanced front to rear. Rotate every 5,000-8,000 miles, maintain OE-recommended pressures, and check alignment to prevent uneven wear. Switch to winter tires when temperatures stay below 45 F, then return to summer or all-season rubber in warmer months to avoid accelerated wear. Store off-season tires clean and dry, away from sunlight, and inspect tread depth often, since winter performance fades as tread nears 5/32-6/32 inch.
Compare Alternatives
The Scorpion Ice & Snow balances dependable winter traction with composed road manners. If your priority is maximum ice braking, some premium alternatives focus on ultimate grip, though they may feel softer and wear faster. If you value a quieter, more stable highway ride in cold weather with confident snow traction, the Scorpion Ice & Snow is a strong, balanced choice. Compare by your exact size, vehicle weight, and climate, and remember that proper installation and tread depth have a major impact on real-world results.
Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow vs Michelin X-Ice Snow
Both are studless winter tires built for snow and ice. Michelin X-Ice Snow is often chosen for strong ice traction and long wear, while Scorpion Ice & Snow emphasizes a stable, quiet ride with confident snow performance and reassuring wet-slush evacuation. Drivers in regions with frequent ice storms may lean toward ultimate ice bite, while those seeking balanced winter grip with everyday comfort may prefer Scorpion Ice & Snow.

Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow vs Bridgestone Blizzak
Bridgestone Blizzak lines are known for aggressive ice and snow traction, especially in deep-freeze conditions. Scorpion Ice & Snow aims for balanced winter control with a composed highway feel and quiet operation on dry, cold roads. If you regularly face unplowed routes and sheet ice, a more aggressive winter tire may appeal. If your winter brings mixed conditions, plowed city streets, slush, and occasional storms, Scorpion Ice & Snow provides confident grip without sacrificing day-to-day comfort and stability.
