From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season is generally regarded as a comfortable, quiet, and capable performer in dry conditions, often serving as a popular OEM choice for premium SUVs. However, user consensus is polarized regarding its longevity and wet-weather performance, with many owners reporting premature tread wear and concerns over hydroplaning resistance as the tires age.
Pros
- Excellent ride comfort and low cabin noise levels
- Strong handling and grip on dry pavement
- Competent performance in light snow and varied temperature ranges
- High-quality aesthetic and brand reputation as an OEM fitment
Cons
- Short tread life and lack of mileage warranties
- Inconsistent wet-weather performance and hydroplaning susceptibility
- High replacement cost relative to competitors
- Increased vulnerability to road debris and punctures
Observations
- Owners of heavy EVs (e.g., Rivian R1T, Jaguar I-Pace) report mixed results, with some noting rapid wear while others find them efficient and quiet.
- Users of premium SUVs (Volvo XC series, Land Rover) frequently cite the tire as a quiet, comfortable daily driver, though they note it is not optimized for aggressive or off-road use.
- The presence of internal noise-canceling foam in some OEM versions complicates puncture repairs, leading to frustration for some owners.

“What tires? What tires are you guys using on your Atlas? My factory tires are getting low, probably going to need to get new ones mid to late summer this year. I only use the factory 265/45R21 Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season during the warmer months. During the winter I have a different set that I use. 2022 VR6”

“The Scorpion Zero A/S is a very short lived tire. 11k seems nuts, but after taking a set of Pilot Sport 4 A/S for a 50k lap over a couple of years I replaced them with Pirellis thinking I was getting a better deal. They started losing chunks of tread within 5k and were almost bald after 20 (1 year for me). Never again.”

“My 2022 x5 came with Scorpion Zero A/S runflat, and really no issues. No experience with the Plus 3 model. Planning to replace with CrossContact LX Sport SSR, rated somewhat better than the Zero for traction, noise and comfort. Also a little less expensive than Pirelli.”

“Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season NCS These are size 245/45 R21 104W XL. Look at the tread. Has anyone seen this happen before? I’ve put 40K miles on these tires and all 4 of them look like this. Never in my life have I owned tires that have worn down in this way. I only drive on the street to and from work. Would this be considered a defect? Tire people say this is caused by driving on dirt roads or gravel but I have never done that. (PS I bought the Range Rover brand new from the dealership) anyone recommend a tire that won’t do this?”

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.
