Performance Analysis
Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 29, 2026.
The Pirelli Scorpion ICE plus SNOW finished fourth of eight in the 2011 Auto Bild 4x4 Winter Tire Test, in 255/55 R18. The testers described it as well balanced, with precise handling and particularly good steering feel in the wet. These are its clearest strengths in this single-test record.
Aquaplaning results were slightly poor and snow braking distances were average, so favorable steering feedback should not be read as equally strong water clearance or snow stopping performance. No discipline measurements or placings accompany the assessment, which limits the comparison to that overall finish and the written verdict rather than precise margins or a pattern across several tests.
