Highest rating for braking on dry roads(¹) and handling on wet roads(¹) in the TÜV Premium Tyre Brand Tests:
SCORPION™ tyres have been specially developed to enhance your SUV driving experience – with greater safety, control and precision.
They deliver outstanding performance, especially in wet conditions:
- Best rating for wet handling(¹) in the TÜV Premium Tyre Tests
- Excellent ratings for wet braking(¹) and aquaplaning(¹) in the TÜV Premium Tyre Brand Tests
- 100% A rating for Wet grip(²) across the entire product range
Performance remains at the highest level even on dry roads – with leading values for dry braking(¹).
Low noise emissions and reduced vibrations:
SCORPION™ tyres are specifically designed for a comfortable driving experience. They ensure quiet and pleasant journeys – thanks to low noise emissions(³) and smooth handling, which has been optimised through special tests to reduce tyre-related vibrations.
Excellent mileage and efficiency:
SCORPION™ tyres are the premium choice for SUV drivers. Thanks to a specially developed tread design, braking and handling performance remain consistently high throughout the entire life of the tyre. In addition, their low rolling resistance(4) ensures high efficiency – making every journey, especially long distances, even more enjoyable.
Drive in style:
The contrasting design of the tyre sidewall emphasises the individual style of your SUV.
Optimised layout:
Coordinated tread stiffness for excellent handling on dry roads and high mileage – specially developed for the requirements of heavy SUVs.
New groove angles and optimised arrangement of cross grooves:
Virtually developed for low noise and high acoustic comfort. The result: a quieter, more precise driving experience, supported by a progressive sipe design.
Deep, continuous transverse grooves and sipes:
Optimised negative profile for reliable braking performance in wet conditions and a permanently attractive tread pattern.
Revised tread and new high-performance polymer:
High mileage and low rolling resistance thanks to optimised pressure distribution and reduced shoulder deformation – combined with consistent performance thanks to the new rubber compound.
New generation of softeners:
Improved Wet grip thanks to increased grip contribution from innovative softener technology.

Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more

Overview of criteria and valuation classes
Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A (most efficient) to E (least efficient).
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.
(Source: Impact analysis of the European Commission
* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and can be reduced considerably by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. To improve fuel efficiency, tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
Wet grip
Wet grip is categorised in classes A (shortest braking distance - E (longest braking distance).
A car fitted with class A tyres can have a braking distance which is 18 m shorter than that of a car fitted with class E tyres when performing an emergency stop at 80 km/h (in average road grip conditions). *

Please note:
Road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution. The EU tyre label categorises extrnal rolling noise in the classes from A (quietest rolling noise level) to C (loudest rolling noise level). This is measured in decibels (dB) and compared to the European noise emission limit values for external tyre rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" shows that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by more than 3 dB.
B
Classification "B" means that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by up to 3 dB.
C
Classification "C" means that the specified limit value has been exceeded.
