Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.

Tire B Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season

The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season is a polarizing tire that receives high praise for its dry-road handling, fuel efficiency, and impressive tread longevity for many drivers. However, a significant subset of users reports disappointing wet-weather traction, increased road noise as the tire ages, and a firm ride quality that some find harsh on uneven surfaces.

Pros

  • Exceptional tread life and durability for many users
  • Strong dry-road grip and responsive handling
  • Improved fuel economy compared to competitors
  • Generally quiet and smooth ride when new

Cons

  • Inconsistent or poor wet-weather traction, particularly on roundabouts
  • Increased road noise and 'whooping' sounds as tread wears
  • Firm, sometimes harsh ride quality on bumpy roads
  • Susceptibility to uneven wear patterns

Observations

  • Users with heavy SUVs and performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Jeep SRT, Range Rover) report faster tread degradation and loss of grip compared to those with lighter crossovers.
  • Drivers of luxury vehicles (Jaguar, BMW) frequently note that the tire's firm compound can negatively impact ride comfort and cabin noise levels.
  • Owners of AWD vehicles often report excellent performance in light snow and mud, though this is highly dependent on specific driving conditions.
Community buzz

What real owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score

Tire A

Cooper Discoverer SRX

Positive

The Cooper Discoverer SRX is generally viewed as a reliable all-season highway tire, with users noting good past experiences and comparing them favorably or alternatively against competitors like Michelin. While some owners appreciate their performance for regular paved and light road driving, others note their weight impact relative to stock tires or debate their similarities to newer Cooper models.

“Cooper tires similarities Is the discoverer crossrange the new discoverer srx? I’ve had probably 4-5 sets of srx between current and previous cars and they all look exactly like this. Google says they are completely different tires but in terms of looks they are absolutely identical. 🤔”

“Tire recommendations that are lighter than Wildpeaks BLUF: Looking for an off-road capable tire (225/65R17) that doesn't weigh as much as a Falken Wildpeak. I'm aware off-road tires weigh more by design -- beefy treads, blocks, and sidewalls come at a cost weight-wise. That much I understand. That said, Falken Wildpeaks (30 lbs), Geolandar A/T G015s (30.3 lbs), Toyo Open Country A/T III (32 lbs) and even something more mild like a Cooper Discoverer SRX (31 lbs) represent a nearly 25% increase in rotational mass (I think that is the correct term) over the stock Dueler H/P Sport AS tires, and therefore will drag down MPGs and wear on the drivetrain a bit more over time. Is anyone aware of AT or AT-style tires that are fairly close to the OEM tire weight? Did anyone else shopping for tires take weight into account? I'm not in need of something super aggressive, but I do like to take on mild to moderate trails at the local OHV park, as well as the occasional dirt road overloading trip. The Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus is at least under 30 at 29 lbs, as is the 28 lbs Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax which integrates "all-terrain tire technology" according to the TireRack page. And the Firestone Destination LE 2 only weighs 24 lbs, and the LE 3 is 23 lbs. but I'm not sure how off-road capable those tires are. Thank you, this has been my Ted Talk. Read more”

“New tires.. for 2015 Limited 4WD....Michelin Defender LTX M/S vs Cooper Discoverer SRX I have had the Coopers for a while now but am looking to get a new set of tires. Should I go with them again or try out the Michelins? The Michelins seem to get good reviews and they're about the same price across both brands. What do you think? Mostly highway driving btw Read more”

Tire B

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season

Mixed

Community opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season are mixed, with some users praising their wet weather performance and OEM longevity, while others criticize them for a harsh ride, lack of winter certification (3PMSF), and mediocre overall reviews compared to alternatives. Many owners contemplate switching to different brands or larger wheel sizes to improve ride quality and snow capability.

r/Lexus ·6 upvotes ·2026-06-17

“Time to start considering my next set of tires Bought my used 2010 Lexus RX450h a few years ago, and the tread is starting to get shallow, after putting about 30k on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All-Season tires that came with the vehicle (vehicle is at 116k total). I've been very happy with the performance I've received on the Pirelli tires; especially in heavy rains. The one thing I haven't really done is take them to the snow. But, with that said, I've been looking at other brands. The Bridgestone Blizzak and UltraWeather tires carry 80k mile warrantees, and are less expensive. Plus, the latter has the 3PMSF rating along with the M+S, so it's actually rated for snowy conditions. There's also the Michelin CrossClimate 2 to consider. Am I giving up performance in rainy conditions by going with the higher snow rated tire? The Pirelli tires are about $30ish more per tire. In the scheme of things is $100-120 per set in the scheme of things? What other brands/models are people using that gives them really good performance in rain, with some trips to the snow/ice country? FWIW: My tire size is the bigger 235/55R19 that came as an option on the vehicle Read more”

“All Season tyres Finding All Season tyres for my EV9 is proving to be an impossible task. Apparently this tyre size is unusual. I only found Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season (113V, LR) which is not an EV tyre but in fact intended for Land Rover. And it's not 3PMSF (real winter certification required in places like Germany). Anyone has some experience with this? Or is everyone with summer+winter tyres set up. Thank you!”

r/LandRover ·1 upvote ·2023-07-16

“Opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS My 2020 RR Sport SE has hit 36k and the tires are done. It appears that there's only one tire to choose from for 19 inch wheels - the OEM Pirelli Scorpion Verde. They don't get great reviews compared to other brands available on 20/21/22 inch wheels. I don't have any experience with anything else to compare on this vehicle. I can get some 21 inch wheels for $1200 locally and there are a lot of tire options. Aside from aesthetics, is getting away from the Scorpion Verde worth it for ride quality?”

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
