Kumanara, the Australian Tyre Review website below, offers 15 user reviews on the Scorpion AT Plus.
Even allowing for the "rent-a-crowd" reviewers, the majority of the user reviews are generally favourable towards the AT Plus.
Interestingly, the one review by a 'Rok owner (who, curiously, is using 255/55R19 Scorpions on his 'Rok) appears to be one of the users who is less than inspired by them.
No reason given, and no opinion offered, he just offers a "maybe" to the sites question, "would you buy again?".
Perhaps the 55 series he chose (or was fitted to what he bought), was too harsh in ride qualities.
We have one vehicle fitted with 55 series
tyres and they are "a very firm ride", to say the least.
As far as highway handling goes though, the 55 series handles like the car is on rails.
The Scorpion AT Plus appears to be primarily manufactured for the European and American market, with a distinct target market of snow use, with a "3 star snowflake" symbol representing good performance in snow.
I'm personally inclined towards the view, that
tyres built for snow use, provide less-than-satisfactory performance, in high temperature conditions.
Tyre Review - Scorpion AT Plus
Product Review shows 91 reviews on the Scorpion ATR and only 1 for the Scorpion AT Plus.
Product Review - Pirelli 4WD tyres
Eliminating 90% of the Product Review glowing 5 star reviews - which are often suspect reviews - still leaves the general impression that amongst the Product Review owners/users, the Scorpion
tyres give less than expected life, and provide an overall performance that could be better.
There's one review from a
Darwin owner of a 'Rok, who is not all that happy with his ATR's.
Cheers, Ron.
