From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.

“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!”

“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.
