Pirelli Scorpion tires for winter
I bouth my 2013 F150, came with the Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires, are these good enough for winter. I live in Quebec and we get lots of snow. What are your opinion on this.

They suck...flat spot over night when it freeze's and very little traction in the snow..hope you have 4WD...

My friend drives an fx4 and he took it to the mountains and he said they held pretty good. Thus we live in houston tx and it was a one trip deal. But if you ever decided to change em go with BF Goodrich
Good luck.
Good luck.

no no No NO NO! They suck. You'll need to upgrade, I'm afraid. Best bet is dedicated snow tires, changing out to whatever you want in the warmer months. Other than that, you can get a decent All-season and be very careful (suggest Michelin LTX M/S2).

Yea ... no. It's like driving around with hockey pucks for tires, I had some in 325/75/20 and they sucked in the snow, had cooper st studded and siped for winter use. Driving in Alaska

I just bought Bridgestone Blizzaks to replace the Pirelli Scorpions on my '12 FX4.
Being in a snowy area (Colorado), it is my belief that tire grip and traction are the most important things to consider when driving in winter driving conditions. Driver skill is the also very important.
I'd rather have a front-wheel-drive car with dedicated snow tires than 4-wheel-drive with all-season tires for 95% of winter driving.
You can't get traction if you can't grip. And if you can't get traction it doesn't matter if you have two wheels spinning or four wheels spinning.

In two-wheel drive, mine would not back up my three degree incline driveway in less than an inch of snow. The truck had no traction, it would not stop and it wandered like crazy. I dumped them and got Firestone Destinations (A/T I think). It made for a completely different driving experience in snow and on ice.
Ford's should be embarrassed about putting Pirelli Scopions on their trucks.

I got them on my Limited and the thread pattern doesn't look like it would be too good in snow and ice. Of course, you can't always go by looks. Glad my 2001 F150 is in great shape and has four new skins on it. That truck has always been great in the snow.

I only have 8k miles on mine so far and I don't plan on changing them before the winter weather arrives so I hope they aren't too bad. I also live in Missouri though so it's not near the winter you will have.
