Pirelli Scorpion ATR 112T

Time to change the tires of my ride.

I am looking at the Pirelli Scorpion ATR 265/65/R17 112T.

May 3+1 promo kasi ngayon. Date of manufacture of the tires I checked is May 2021.

I checked some reviews on the internet and so far okay naman. But all are foreign reviews.

Anyone here would like to share their local rating and experience with these threads before I pull the plug?

I had the same dilemma when choosing a replacement for the factory tires in my Toyota Hilux. Like you, I researched online and came across this comparison table (see attachment).

Recently, I bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR 265/65r17 (same as what your looking at). Having driven them for a few months now, I can compare it with my personal experiences with Bridgestone Dueler AT and HT.

For riding comfort, I find the Pirelli ATRs similar to Dueler HT. Both models absorb bumps and potholes better than Dueler AT.

In terms of noise, Dueler HT is a tad quieter than Scorpion ATR, with the latter has a slight humming sound on highway speeds. Meanwhile, Dueler AT is noticeably noisier than the two.

I have driven these 3 models in rough road conditions (farm gravel/mud road). I feel the Dueler AT performs better on the mud, had less slippage when climbing a slight incline on our farm. While the Scorpion ATR and Dueler HT, seemed to me, were just the same.

When driving on wet roads/rain downpour, I felt more secure with the Scorpion ATR. The vehicle felt more "planted" on the road, in my opinion.

Overall, I think these 3 are very decent brands/models. It just depends on your intended function. If you drive mostly city and highways, I'd pick Dueler HT. If you sometimes drive on rough roads, then Scorpion ATR would be a good compromise. I still have the Dueler AT in my other vehicle that I often drive on the farm. It is a solid performer, but you'd feel those bumps and hear them noises.

I hope you find this useful. Good luck on your purchase.
