“Tire replacement Looking to replace the Pirelli Scorpion Zero all seasons on my ‘23 Volvo XC40 recharge. Are people sticking with the OEM tires or is there another all season tire you would recommend. Looking for similar ride quality with more wear than the Pirellis.”

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season
Owners often praise the Scorpion Zero All Season for quiet, comfortable ride, good grip in wet and light snow, and a better feel than winter or summer tires. Many others complain about short tread life, uneven or chunky wear, and vibrations or foam-related issues at around 25k miles. The tire's high price and the question of whether the Plus 3 or other brands are better value come up often.

“Ran across a set of 4 scorpion zero all season 275/40/20 106V XL for $250 ( 90% tread left ) .how much performance loss am I going to have from the stock P Zero tires I have now.”

“At 25,000 miles tires developed "serious" vibrations this time at 47MPH and feels like it is in the front, last time it felt like the back. This was a real safety concern for handling. Not taking them in for another $200 Road Force balance, replaced all four tires today with Yokohama Geolandar X-CV - 275/45R21 110W. No problem yet, up to 55MPH but still need a road trip to see how it does up to 80MPH. I think this hot Florida weather is melting the glue holding the foam in place. The OEM tires were: Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S 275/45R21/XL 110W PNCS. I did not contact Pirelli as I don't want any of these PNCS tires on my vehicles. PNCS will be on the sidewall, indicating the use of foam inside of the tire.”

“I too need new tires on my 2019 XC60 AWD T6 Inscription and am unsure whether to get the same OEM 19" Scorpion Zero A/S (VOL) for $1395 installed or the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 installed for $1161. Any one else with recent comparisons. The life on the OEM seems worse, and the price is ~$230 more and Tirerack has worse reviews, but I'm afraid to rock the boat with what is otherwise a fine tire for fear of altering the drive dynamic too much.”

How do we compare tires?
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.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
