“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.”

Tire B
Mixed
Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season
Community sentiment regarding the Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season is mixed, with users commending its quiet ride, comfortable handling, and competent wet and snow traction. However, significant criticism centers on poor tread life, rapid wear, and chunking, leading several drivers to explore alternative brands or other Pirelli variants. Additional discussions frequently involve comparisons against OEM setups, the higher cost of PNCS foam-equipped models, and vehicle compatibility.

“I'm pretty happy with them. they seem to have good grip. Was driving through 1-2" snow with no dramas. I was actually trying to break them loose in the wet and it was more difficult than I thought it would be. I am also stock.”

“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.”

On hwy, the wind noise easily drowns out any tire noise. Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 is said to be quieter than Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive, as per reviews. In that case, even if I go with "Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive", I won't feel much of the difference in quietness of it in comparison to "Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3", and I can go with WeatherActive, as that will better perform in bad weather. Is my understanding correct, practically?”

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.
