Pirelli unveiled the new Scorpion™ All Terrain Plus tire to North American dealers and press at SEMA 2017, the world’s largest automotive specialty equipment show. The new Scorpion™ All Terrain Plus is an on and off-road all terrain tire that delivers maximum performance in demanding conditions for pick-up trucks and SUVs.
