“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”

Community opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season are mixed, with users frequently debating their longevity, pricing, and ride comfort compared to alternatives. While some owners experience no issues with factory-equipped sets during warmer months, others report extremely poor tread wear, chunking, and short lifespans relative to their high cost.
“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?”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
