Definitely correct, as that's what's on the tyres themselves.

Pirelli make Scorpion's for bikes too - seems to be the brand name for suv/off-road chunky tyres generally, not the individual tyre design. 2005 D3 HSE

Very happy with my PIRELLI Scorpion ATR's which replaced my 17" Conti's, Although I miss the squishy ride at times, but not on corners and motorways. The handling transformation reminds me of my Disco Series II which had Active Cornering Enhancement, an ran on Michelin Synchrones. I notice the Pirelli's are manufactured in Romania, but they are designed for the South American Pickup market. Somewhere in between something tells me they should suit most applications. Belgian motorways are the ultimate test for Aquaplaning tyres. I once went through Belgium in a Ferrari and must have had three major aquaplanes. (In the days when they built cars for men). I am off to Petzen near Klagenfurt, Austria, just before new year, for the BARSC ski championships. The local regional governor allegedly signed a personal deal with Ghaddafi some years ago, and BP Ultimate costs nearly 20% less at the pumps there than the rest of Austria and Europe (not joking)

Just fitted a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATRs (thanks Ken for the super deal and service ).
Original Scorpion Zeros only managed 27,000 miles  (10,000 of them towing a tintent). Started to have heart in mouth moments when hitting puddles fast(ish), decided it was time to change even though I reckon I could have got another 3,000 to 5,000 miles before they were down to the legal minimum.

A great service, price and tyre.
I collected the car from the dealer with the ATRs fitted drove 150 motorway miles. The following day used them over some very harsh terrain. A good all-rounder would strongly recommend the tyre and Ken’s services.
