Highest rating for braking on dry roads(¹) and handling on wet roads(¹) in the TÜV Premium Tyre Brand Tests:

SCORPION™ tyres have been specially developed to enhance your SUV driving experience – with greater safety, control and precision.

They deliver excellent performance, especially in wet conditions:

Performance remains at the highest level even on dry roads – with leading values for dry braking(¹).

Low noise emissions and reduced vibrations:

SCORPION™ tyres are specifically designed for a comfortable driving experience. They guarantee quiet and pleasant journeys – thanks to low noise emissions(³) and smooth handling, which has been optimised through special tests to reduce tyre-related vibrations.

Outstanding mileage and efficiency:

SCORPION™ tyres are the premium choice for SUV drivers. Thanks to a specially developed tread design, braking and handling performance remain consistently high throughout the entire life of the tyre. In addition, their low rolling resistance(4) ensures high efficiency – making every journey, especially long distances, even more enjoyable.

Drive in style:

The contrasting design of the tyre sidewall emphasises the individual style of your SUV.

Optimized layout:

Coordinated tread stiffness for excellent handling on dry roads and high mileage – specially developed for the requirements of heavy SUVs.

New groove angles and optimised arrangement of cross grooves:

Virtually developed for low noise and high acoustic comfort. The result: a quieter, more precise driving experience, supported by a progressive sipe design.

Deep, continuous transverse grooves and sipes:

Fine-tuned negative profile for reliable braking performance in wet conditions and a permanently attractive tread pattern.

Revised tread and new high-performance polymer:

High mileage and low rolling resistance thanks to fine-tuned pressure distribution and lower shoulder deformation – combined with consistent performance thanks to the new rubber compound.

New generation of softeners:

Enhanced Wet grip thanks to increased grip contribution from innovative softener technology.
