“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.”

Michelin Latitude Tour
We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.
Tire B
Mixed
Pirelli Scorpion Zero
Community sentiment for the Pirelli Scorpion Zero family is mixed, with users frequently praising its smooth ride, dry and wet traction, and reduced road noise, particularly on newer Plus 3 and EV-focused variants. However, substantial criticism centers on rapid treadwear, with many owners reporting premature wear well under 25,000 to 30,000 miles, alongside complaints regarding warranty claims and inner foam insulation issues. While some drivers find good longevity and rim protection, others view the tire as short-lived and loud once worn.

“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.”

“I installed Pirelli scorpion zero A/S plus on my cayenne a few weeks ago. So far, no complaints. Great tire. Very quiet, and much more comfortable than my previously worn out dws 06. I have 21" wheels so they are 35 profile tires. I will say they feel more luxury oriented than sport oriented, the sidewalls are a bit softer (which I like).”

“I'm very hard on tires (my set has 6000 miles on them with only 50% tread left on the back tires ,the front look new ),so maybe the scorpion zero are not the tires for me . Set of almost new tires for $250 . Maybe I will buy them and sell the for a small profit.”

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.
