Popular Compatible Vehicles
The 21" Pirelli SCORPION™ (New Generation) range is designed for high-performance and luxury SUVs in the Irish market:
- Porsche Cayenne: The N0 marked sizes (e.g., 265/40 R21 front, 295/35 R21 rear) are specific staggered factory fitments.
- Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé / AMG Models: Compatible with MO1 marked sizes, often incorporating the PNCS and ELECT features.
- Audi Q7 / Q8 / SQ7: Utilizes sizes like 275/45 R21 and 295/35 R21.
- BMW X5 / X6: Compatible with 275/40 R21 and 315/35 R21 fitments (often requires specific BMW OE markings, but these are general high-performance options).
- Land Rover Range Rover Sport: Uses the LR marked 295/35 R21 size.
Summer tyres are most common in Ireland, offering peak fuel efficiency mileage and grip when temperatures stay above 7°C. However, they are not the official standard for winter safety. Motorists must show caution in cold conditions; below 7°C, summer rubber hardens, significantly compromising grip and wet braking performance on cold, saturated Irish roads.
All-Season tyres are the superior "fit-and-forget" solution for Ireland's wet, temperate climate. Specifically engineered to remain flexible in the cold, they provide shorter stopping distances on near-freezing, rain-soaked surfaces and carry the 3PMSF certification for frost and light snow. They offer total year-round peace of mind without the hassle of seasonal swaps.
Load Rating: Maximum Weight Capacity Explained
The load index is a numerical code representing the maximum weight in kgs that a single tyre can safely carry. To ensure safety, the combined capacity of all four tyres must exceed the vehicle’s total weight when fully loaded.
Speed Rating: Maximum Velocity Explained
Represented by a letter, the speed rating indicates the maximum kph a tyre can maintain over a prolonged period. Higher speed ratings are engineered to handle the heat and stresses generated at faster speeds more effectively.
Quick Reference Guide
- Check your requirements: You can find the specific requirements for your vehicle on the tyre information plate (usually located on the driver-side door pillar) or in the owner's manual.
- Replacement rule: It is vital never to fit a tyre with a lower load index or speed rating than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Common Ratings: Standard ratings include T (190 kph), H (210 kph), and V (240 kph). You can view a full conversion table below..
