235/60R18 Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 –
Category: Truck/SUV All Season – Touring
The Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is a completely redesigned touring all-season tire for light trucks, crossovers and sport utility vehicles. The tread pattern, compound and construction yielding outstanding mileage, enhanced snow performance, improved wet / dry handling, and increased comfort with a quieter ride compared to its previous generation. The Scorpion AS Plus 3 has a carefully engineered asymmetric tread pattern that minimizes void space for maximum contact with the road which increases overall grip and improves tread wear. It also has a 115,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 107 means each tire can carry up to 975 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 800 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.

Is the 235/60R18 Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 – 3PMS rated?
