The load index 95 means each tire supports up to 1,521 lbs — about 6,084 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
What the Pirelli Scorpion is built for
The Pirelli Scorpion is a summer tire, tuned for maximum dry and wet grip in warm conditions; it is not intended for near-freezing temperatures. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.
Tread life and grip ratings
This tire carries a UTQG rating of 400 AA A. The treadwear grade of 400 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).
Price and value
At $183.66 per tire, a full set of four costs $734.64. That is about 28% above the average of the 63 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
