Which is better for winter or icy roads?

Neither is a winter tire. The BlackHawk listing itself notes longer stopping distances on icy roads. The Pirelli is an all-season touring tire with improved wet grip, but for real ice and snow buy a dedicated winter tire.

Which tire lasts longer?

The BlackHawk has the clearer claim: a 60,000-mile limited warranty and UTQG treadwear 700. Pirelli does not state a mileage warranty for the Scorpion AS Plus 3, so its tread life depends on driving and rotation.

Is the Pirelli worth about $52 more per tire?

If you value a quiet, smooth ride and sharper wet handling, yes. If you mainly want low cost and long tread life, the BlackHawk covers that for less.

Do both come in 255/65R18?

The BlackHawk is sold in 255/65R18 only. The Pirelli comes in 17 to 22 inch sizes, so confirm a 255/65R18 fitment exists before ordering.

Which is better for towing or a heavy SUV?

The BlackHawk's 111 load index and light-truck classification suit heavier SUVs and crossovers. Check the Pirelli's load index for your exact size before towing.

Why did the BlackHawk price jump so much?

Its lowest daily price moved from $113.06 to $331.13 between October 29 and November 4, 2026. That range suggests thin stock at low-price sellers, so check the price history before buying.
