“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.”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.

Community discussions around the Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 highlight it primarily as a mid-tier, budget-conscious highway all-season option for trucks and SUVs. Drivers appreciate its quiet ride, stable tracking, and solid grip, though some note a slightly jumpy ride quality. Most mentions revolve around purchase pricing, sizing options, and comparisons to alternative all-terrain or highway tires.

Although I realize I am not limited to just what is in stock at my nearest DiscTire, what they have now is interesting - not many in stock right now. They range from the $169 Trailfinder All Terrain, the $206.00 Cooper Discovers ATP II, the $209.00 Hankook Dynapro HT RH12, then a big jump up to the $277.00 Michelin Defender LTX M/S, and the YUGE $293.00 BFG A/T T/A KO2. I need a tire pretty much for road driving only. I do not often go out of town but for instance I've got a 9 hour trip later this month. It snows here in my area maybe..2 weeks / year, and nothing insane. So I don't really even need A/T tires in my opinion. The Hankook Dynapro seems to fit budget and looks like a good road tire. I can't tell which ones are Chinese but, sure, I'd love to avoid that too! Thanks for all the suggestions here.”

Community sentiment regarding the Pirelli Scorpion Zero is mixed, with strong praise for its quiet ride, smooth comfort, and reliable wet and dry traction, especially on newer AS Plus 3 models. However, numerous owners express severe frustration over fast treadwear, with many reporting tires wearing out or balding well under 30,000 miles, alongside complaints regarding unhonored treadwear warranties and issues with the internal PNCS noise-canceling foam.

I'm lazy ! Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S 265/40/R21 - 105V (150mph) - UTQG 600AA - 34lbs, 12/32" Tread Depth, 29.3" Diameter Pirelli Scorpion Zero A/S Plus 265/40/R21 - 105Y (186mph) - UTQG 500AA - 33lbs, 10/32" Tread Depth, 29.3 Diameter I think if you tended more towards summer tires and/or lived in a dry-ish climate and could get a good price, the Zero A/S is a good tire. You might only get 30K out of them on a heavy performance SUV but compared to more expensive options the differences seem minimal. Personally, on a truck/SUV I've never experienced a tire rated 600AA have as good performance/stickiness (combined with long treadlife) as the Verdes...”

“Pirelli Scorpion MS vs. Zero I was the unfortunate recipient of a giant screw in my tire last week and had to be towed to a local Discount Tire for a replacement. After being very specific that I wanted the exact same tire that I had (Scorpion MS), they installed the Scorpion Zero on my front right wheel and I just realized it this morning. Is there any damage in keeping this tire if it’s the exact same size? Or should I push back and request they replace it with the tire I have on the three other wheels? Not to mention I’m a little irritated because I feel like it was a sneaky upsell to get me to buy a tire that is $150 more expensive. Thoughts? Read more”

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.
