About the Pirelli Scorpion MTR

Built Tough, From Milan to the Mud.

Best forFour-wheel-drive light truck and SUV owners who regularly tackle mud, sand, and loose terrain but still drive on paved roads.

The Pirelli Scorpion MTR is a purpose-built mud-terrain tire for light trucks and four-wheel-drive vehicles. It delivers serious off-road capability across mud, sand, loose dirt, gravel, and snow, while remaining composed enough for regular pavement use. Drivers who split time between trail and road will find it a capable, well-rounded choice in the aggressive off-road category.

The Scorpion MTR features a symmetrical, high-void tread pattern with large transverse grooves engineered to continuously clear mud and debris, keeping fresh rubber in contact with the terrain. A network of sipes adds biting edges to improve grip across varied surfaces. The casing is reinforced with robust sidewalls and rim protection to handle the rigors of demanding off-road environments.

Questions about this tire

What does LT265/75R16 112Q mean?

265 is the tread width in millimeters, 75 means the sidewall is 75% of that width, and R16 is the 16-inch rim it mounts on. 112 is the load index (2,469 lbs per tire), and Q is the speed rating (up to 99 mph).

How does the Scorpion MTR perform in deep mud?

The large transverse grooves and high-void tread are specifically designed to expel mud and debris so the tire maintains a clean contact patch and continues to dig in. It performs well in moderate-to-deep mud conditions typical of off-road trails. For extreme, sustained mud immersion, tire choice should also account for vehicle weight and ground clearance.

Is the Scorpion MTR usable as a daily driver on pavement?

Yes — Pirelli engineered the Scorpion MTR to retain reasonable on-road handling and manners alongside its off-road capability. That said, as with any aggressive mud-terrain tire, expect more road noise and slightly reduced pavement grip compared to a highway or all-season tire. It is a workable compromise for drivers who split time between trail and street.

Is the Scorpion MTR rated for severe winter or snow conditions?

No. The Scorpion MTR does not carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, so it is not rated for severe snow service. It can handle light snow and loose wintry terrain due to its aggressive tread, but drivers in regions with heavy winter weather should consider a dedicated winter or certified all-weather tire for those conditions.

What vehicles is the Scorpion MTR designed for?

The Scorpion MTR is built for light trucks and four-wheel-drive SUVs. TFS Wheels stocks it in seven sizes covering 15- and 16-inch rim diameters, so fitment options are best confirmed against your specific vehicle's requirements.

Does the Scorpion MTR come with a mileage warranty?

Warranty coverage follows the manufacturer's terms as set by Pirelli. We recommend confirming the specific warranty details applicable to your chosen size at the time of purchase, as terms can vary.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
