Best test result: #8 of 9 in 2021 Teknikens Värld Summer Tire Test R18 (overall ranking)
“The HP71 are actually the OE tire for several trim/MY combinations for the Ioniq 5 and EV6 and they're decent tires. The longest lasting tire is the Defender 2, with the trade off of mediocre traction. I run the Nokian One because it's a batter balance of traction and tread wear than the defender but still quiet and very long-lasting.”

Best test result: #4 of 6 in 2015 Auto Bild SUV All Season Tyre Test (overall ranking)
“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”

Community opinion on the Kumho Crugen HP71 (and its EV variant) is heavily mixed, largely split between appreciation for its comfortable, quiet ride and affordability compared to premium brands, versus frequent complaints about rapid tread wear, particularly on heavier electric vehicles. While many drivers praise initial grip, handling, and value, concerns persist regarding longevity, internal acoustic foam separation issues, and premature wear relative to advertised mileage warranties.
“Yet Another C40 Wheel Downsize Report I decided to join the crowd in downsizing from the factory 20" wheels to 18" Wheels: Voxx Paso Tires: Kumho Crugen EV HP71 (currently on sale for $500 for a set of 4) I was a bit worried about wheel fitment because of the large brake calipers, but they fit without issue, standard install. I've only put about 100 miles on them so far, but the ride is much more comfortable and these new tires are SO much quieter than the old tires that were installed when I bought the vehicle (CPO): Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 I don't have enough data yet to see if this will make a range improvement, but I imagine it will as they're skinnier tires and EV optimized. So far I'm impressed with the Kumho's, especially for the price they're offering. And I think these new wheels look pretty decent! Read more”
“Kumho HP71 vs Continental DWS06 I was planning to get Continentals for $150 each, but then I found these Kumhos for $118 each. The Continentals have a treadwear of 560, whereas the Kumhos have a treadwear of 640. They both have A/A for traction/temp. Is it really worth the extra $128 for brand name if the cheaper ones will outlast them?”

Community opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season are split, with some drivers praising their wet weather traction, handling, and quiet ride, while others criticize them for harsh ride quality over bumps and poor suitability for heavy snow or EV use. Many owners evaluate them primarily as OEM equipment and consider alternatives once the tread wears down.
“I have the 20” Perelli Scorpion Verde all season on my 2024 Macan S and am very happy with them. Very good handling , traction, and reasonably quiet. When they need to be replaced, I will likely stay with the same. They are only rated to 150 mph, so you do have to watch yourself on the on ramps :)”
“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?”
“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!”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
