Pirelli's Scorpion Winter 2 is designed for crossovers and SUVs, delivers tenacious grip in winter conditions, and has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service. Pirelli designed the Scorpion Winter 2 with a specialized winter tread compound that stays flexible at subfreezing temps, molded into a directional winter tread design with sweeping V-shaped grooves that feature chamfered edges for enhanced traction in wet or wintry weather. The Scorpion Winter 2's grooves extend from edge to edge with variable widths to help mute road noise and enhance traction, along with a dense network of 3D sipes that chew through snow and slush. Snow edges on main grooves actually trap and retain snow for snow/snow friction; like all winter tires, the Pirelli Scorpion 2 shouldn't be used if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
