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.
The Pirelli Scorpion Zero is a polarizing tire that delivers strong dry-road handling and a quiet, comfortable ride for many SUV and crossover owners. However, user experiences are highly inconsistent, with significant reports of rapid tread wear and underwhelming performance in wet or wintry conditions, leading to a mixed overall reputation.
Pros
- Excellent dry-road handling and grip
- Quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Strong performance on light off-road surfaces like grass and dry rock
- Responsive steering and road feedback
Cons
- Inconsistent and often rapid tread wear
- Poor traction and aquaplaning tendencies in wet conditions
- Lack of winter capability despite M+S ratings
- Reports of sidewall durability issues and punctures
Observations
- Land Rover owners generally report higher satisfaction and better mileage compared to owners of high-performance German SUVs like BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
- Users of heavy, high-torque vehicles like the Rivian R1T and various performance SUVs report significantly accelerated tread wear.
- Some users noted that the tire's performance characteristics change drastically as the tread depth decreases, particularly regarding wet-weather safety.

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season
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.
“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?”

Pirelli Scorpion Zero
Community opinion on the Pirelli Scorpion Zero is deeply divided, particularly regarding tread life versus comfort. While many users praise the tire for providing a smooth, quiet ride, excellent traction, and good EV-specific performance, a significant number complain about unexpectedly rapid tread wear, cracking, and poor warranty support from the manufacturer.
“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.”
“Pirelli scorpion zeros wear life I was thinking these would last more than 35k miles. Seems they are wearing in the centers like it’s over inflated but they were set at 35 from dealer and have stayed there. Also after searching on here it’s a 2022 S AWD shouldn’t it have gotten the Michelins? Thinking about going with falken wildpeak at3w since I got 82k miles out of them on my 1/2 ton truck but really not needed for this one”
“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? Read more”
“I bought a set of 20” M-wheels when I my X5 was at around 2k miles. I had fitted Pirelli scorpion zero runflats on it. At 65k miles, they had to be replaced due to compound cracking, thread was still at 5 to 6/32. I think they served me well.”

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.
