The Pirelli Scorpion AS+ 3 generally receives high praise from users for delivering a quiet, comfortable ride, impressive longevity, and dependable all-season traction, often outperforming original equipment tires at a more competitive price point. However, a small minority of reviewers reported issues regarding manufacturing defects such as high-speed vibrations, sidewall bubbles, and softer sidewall impacts, coupled with occasional frustration over warranty claims.

How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
66/100From 13 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptionally quiet and comfortable ride quality

Worth knowing
- Users running XL load-rated tires (such as in the 235/55R18 size on a Subaru Forester) noted that road impacts felt harsher than anticipated.
- EV and Tesla Model Y owners had mixed experiences, with one noting that a switch to smaller 18-inch wheels and these tires failed to improve comfort compared to OEM setups and introduced vibrations.
