Our verdict on the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus
The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus reads as a pavement-first all-terrain in this dataset: quiet, settled highway manners tops its profile at 8/10 with wet-road grip at 8/10, for a 7.3/10 blend across the seven all-round axes. Nothing in the profile collapses: the lowest mark, mud clearing at 4/10, is 4 points off the top and does not even feed the blend, and the dataset flags it when you run hardcore rock trails. It carries the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol, sits in the mid-priced bracket at #19 of 50 overall and 12th of 18 all-terrains, is catalogued in 11 Tacoma sizes on 16- through 18-inch wheels, and rests on 2 cited sources. Its lead use cases are all-weather daily driving and snow driving, one place behind the Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme in our ranking.

| Axis | What it covers | Score | In blend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road comfort | pavement ride quality and noise | 8/10 | Yes |
| Wet grip | traction on wet pavement | 8/10 | Yes |
| Snow | packed snow and winter road traction | 8/10 | Yes |
| Trail | dirt, gravel, and rock trail traction | 6/10 | Yes |
| Mud | deep mud traction and self-cleaning | 4/10 | No |
| Durability | puncture and sidewall resistance | 7/10 | Yes |
| Tread life | expected mileage before replacement | 7/10 | Yes |
| Efficiency | weight and rolling resistance | 7/10 | No |
| Looks | how aggressive the tread and sidewall read | 6/10 | No |
| Value | what the tire delivers per dollar | 7/10 | Yes |
7 of the ten axes feed the blended number (road comfort, wet grip, snow, trail, durability, tread life, and value); mud, efficiency, and looks are shown for the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus but sit outside it, which is why a mud or looks score can run well above or below the headline.

Tacoma sizes the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus comes in
The catalog behind this dataset records the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus in 11 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters, spanning 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels. Of those, 10 have a Tacoma fitment page on this site, linked below.
Those 11 entries are the dataset's own availability list for the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus, not a live retailer feed — a model with a thin catalog gets a short list here rather than a padded one. What actually clears on your truck still depends on wheel width, offset, and how much trimming you will accept, so check the size against your generation before you buy.

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus on a Tacoma: common questions
In our editorial synthesis the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus blends to 7.3/10 across the seven all-round axes, which places it 12th of 18 all-terrains and #19 of 50 in the whole research set. Its case rests on quiet, settled highway manners (8/10) and wet-road grip (8/10), so it suits all-weather daily driving, snow driving, and wet roads.
The research catalog records the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus as offered in 11 sizes that fit common Tacoma wheel diameters: 245/75R16, 265/70R16, 265/75R16, 245/70R17, 265/65R17, 265/70R17, 275/70R17, 285/70R17, 265/65R18, 275/65R18, and 265/70R18. That is the dataset's own availability list rather than a live retailer feed, so confirm the exact size and load range with the seller before ordering.
The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus carries the 3PMSF severe-snow-service symbol, and our synthesis puts its snow axis at 8/10. That combination is what qualifies it as a year-round tire in states with severe-snow tire rules, though a dedicated winter tire still out-grips any all-season or all-terrain on ice.
The weakest marks in the Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus's profile are mud clearing at 4/10 and visual aggression at 6/10. The dataset flags it as the wrong choice when you run hardcore rock trails and you need maximum mud traction. Those judgements come from the 2 cited sources listed on this page, not from anything measured here.
