About Pirelli Scorpion Verde AO 285/45 R20 112Y

The Scorpion Verde is designed for SUV and crossover applications, combining road stability, wet-weather performance, driving comfort and reduced rolling resistance. The AO marking identifies this version as homologated for Audi vehicles.

285/45 R20 Tyre Size

The 285/45 R20 designation indicates a nominal section width of 285 mm, a sidewall height equal to 45% of the tyre width, radial construction and compatibility with a 20-inch wheel. The 45-series profile provides a balance between handling response, stability and driving comfort.

112Y Load and Speed Rating

The 112 load index corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 1120 kg per tyre. The Y speed symbol corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h. The tyre must always be operated according to the vehicle manufacturer's load, pressure and speed requirements.

XL Extra Load Construction

The 285/45 R20 112Y specification is an XL, or Extra Load, tyre. The reinforced construction supports the increased load capacity required for compatible SUV and crossover applications.

Audi AO Homologation

The AO marking indicates Audi original-equipment homologation. This version was developed for vehicles requiring the Audi-approved tyre specification. Vehicle compatibility should always be confirmed against the manufacturer's approved tyre sizes and specifications.

Optimised Profile and Materials

Pirelli uses an optimised profile and material combination in the Scorpion Verde to help reduce rolling resistance and contribute to lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Wet Road Performance

The Scorpion Verde uses a compound incorporating special polymers and a dedicated shoulder profile to support wet-road performance and stability. The exact wet-road performance of a tyre also depends on inflation pressure, tread depth, road conditions and driving style.

Low Noise and Driving Comfort

The tread pitch sequence and phasing are optimised to help reduce internal tyre noise. This contributes to a quieter and more comfortable driving experience, particularly in SUV applications.

Summer Application

The Pirelli Scorpion Verde AO 285/45 R20 112Y is a summer tyre designed for paved-road use. It is not a dedicated winter or severe-snow tyre and does not carry the 3PMSF marking.

2024 Production

The requested product is specified as a 2024 production tyre. Individual production date should be confirmed from the DOT or applicable manufacturing-date marking on the tyre sidewall.

Who Should Consider This Tyre?

Pirelli Scorpion Verde AO 285/45 R20 112Y XL is suitable for compatible SUVs and crossovers, particularly Audi applications requiring AO homologation, a 20-inch summer tyre, 1120 kg per-tyre load capacity and a Y speed rating.
