Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus vs Pirelli Scorpion Verde — Compared

“Pirelli Scorpion Verde HT Circumferential Balding on Mid-outer I have 2 sets of tyres on a FWD Mitsubishi Outlander, installed 500 Kms apart. Trying to understand why the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season have this balding on the outer 4/5th band for both tyres. It could be over inflation, but the Kumho Crugen HP71 don't show same wear yet both are usually at 35 PSI. Point of note, I have a Mi Air Compressor (full) that seems to differ PSI with petrol stations (It reads 32 PSI when I pump 35 PSI at the petrol station. I usually pump more with the compressor to what it reads as 35 PSI). On tyre usage, the Pirellis have done more than 3000 Kms of gravel on the front (Kumho chip a lot on gravel when at the front). About 500 Kms was on 30 PSI before Namibians advised me to use 26 PSi front and 30 PSI rear to better handle corrugations and skidding. Read more”

“Pirelli Scorpion Verde mileage I know this is a bit of a loaded question but I have a question about the OEM tires on my '21 80th Anniversary Edition 4x4. They are the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. My GC has 35,000 miles / 56,000 Kilometers of mixed city highway use. I work from home and it does a fair amount of sitting the garage I roll into the dealer for oil and tire rotation and they try to quote me on new tires giving some story that the manufacturer tires dont have full treads on them. Some internet searches corroborate this but not completely. The mileage seems to be very low to need new tires, the treadwear is at a 4 per their sensors. I've purchased a tread depth gauge to see for myself but honestly I was thinking that I should be etting at least another 10K from the set before having to get new ones. I live in the US Southeast and not worried about snow traction at all...rain is the bigger concern. Question: Whats my reasonable expectation on this? I dont want to run them bald down to the wear bars but also dont want to prematurely get new ones.”

“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?”
