Understanding the 275/50R21 XL size

In the size code 275/50R21, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 137.5 mm. R21 means radial construction on a 21-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 31.8".

The load index 113 means each tire supports up to 2,535 lbs — about 10,140 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol Y certifies the tire to 186 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 MS is built for

The Pirelli Scorpion MS is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 500 A A. The treadwear grade of 500 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 A 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 $367.56 per tire, a full set of four costs $1470.24. That is about 26% above the average of the 12 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
