Michelin Latitude Sport 3 vs Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season — Compared

“I would have gone with PS4 as well. Latitude Sport 3 is a good OEM tire but PS4 handles better, is quieter, has longer tread life and cheaper. It's no contest. Michelin originally made the Latitude Sport line for 20"+ performance SUV tires when the Pilot Sport line didn't go beyond certain weight. Latitude Sport uses the same technology and similar compound as Pilot Sport... basically it was the SUV version of Pilot Sport. But later on, when Michelin came out with PSS to replace PS2, they started making higher weight version on the Pilot Sport line too so it made Latitude Sport kind of redundant. PS4 is the latest version of Pilot Sport so it is the best tire Michelin sells. Latitude Sport 3 is roughly comparable to PSS so about a generation behind in development - still very good tire but if PS4 is cheaper and available, there is no reason to get Latitude Sport 3.”

“"Install four Michelin Latitude Sport 3 RFT replacing Bridgestone Alenza RFT at 36,300 miles." Calendar entry above. For us, it made all the difference in the world. Retired, so most of our travels are on I-77, I-26 and I-95. Couldn't hear each other talk with the Alenzas. Approaching 50,000 miles now and couldn't be happier. Made an incredible difference in ride comfort and noise. Not sure how many more miles are left on the tires , but they appear to be almost like new. My X3 M40i doesn't have a spare and I'm not comfortable going to a non- RFT since I'm 74 years old and haven't changed a tire in 30 years. Can't understand why Bridgestone continues to sell the Alenza tires or why BMW continues to put them on their performance cars.”

“My 2020 GLC63 CPO came with the Michelin Latitude Sport 3 summer tires with 6k miles on them. It is getting cold here in PA/NJ and in the parking lot they were starting to crab walk on me, feels terrible. Since I may also get caught in snow and need to get home I decided to go with all-seasons. My tire sizes are 265/45/20 front and 295/40/20 rear. I ordered Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season Plus tires. No more crabbing and a much better ride. They look better too. If you will be driving in cold temps I recommend them. They also have a 500 treadwear rating, so they should last a while. The Latitudes at 6k miles were fairly worn. My wife has a 2022 Mercedes GLE350 AMG line appearance package and it has the same Pirellis and rides great.”

“When I bought my truck it had a very rough ride. After getting the tires balanced (three tires out of balance) it was better, but still not right. It turned out that the tires had flat spots from sitting on the dealers lot for months. After enduring the bad ride for 1000 miles the dealer replaced one tire that had a permanent flat spot. The other were able to return to normal (dealer said). Ride was much improved but never up to what I expected. I decided to replace all the tires and had a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season plus tires put on today. I am familiar with the Pirelli tires because I had them on my Honda Ridgeline and was very happy with them. All I can say is wow what a difference. I love these tires and my truck finally rides the way I would expect it to ride and handle at all speeds. Fortunately, I was able to sell my OEM tires to offset the expense. I went to a tire shop that sells used tires as well as new and they were happy to buy my tires as a part of the deal.”

“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 :)”

“Hi All, In November 2024 I had a new set of 20" N rated Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Seasons put on my Macan for use in the UK, France and Germany. Over this period I've now had them rebalanced 4 times over a distance of about 2,000 miles both front and rear. At speeds of 130kph and above (legally in Germany) there remains significant vibrations which I didn't get when I had the P Zero summers on. Has anyone else had similar experiences with these tyres and if so what was the resolution? Thanks”
