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.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community members generally praise the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV for its strong grip, handling performance, and SUV-specific design. Users frequently consider it an upgrade over OEM options like the Latitude Sport 3, though some discuss its premium price, summer temperature limitations, and expected tread longevity.
“From 3 model you mention, only Alenza is designed for heavy vehicle/SUV, so longevity is better than other 2 for your Envoy even though the traction may not be the best. If you can find Pilot Sport 4 SUV, then it may be the best to replace Latitude Sport 3. I like Latitude Sport 3, the best in wet weather and great in dry, but it is true it is only 25000 miles lifetime.”

However, in my Cayman with PS4S in the same areas you can barely tell the road surface changed.

“Loving my new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires and Enkei Raijin wheels”
Based on 25 community posts
Community members frequently praise the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season for its reliable wet and dry traction, low road noise when new, and solid overall handling on SUVs and crossovers. However, many drivers express concerns regarding premature tread wear, rough ride quality as the tires age, cupping issues, and increased noise or vibration later in their lifespan. Winter and snow performance also draws mixed feedback, with some finding it adequate while others prefer dedicated snow tires.
“I've had the very same tire on my Q5. They were very good the first 60% of their life, and then one went out of round. I had to shave and replace it out of warranty. Until then they were fairly quiet. Wear and wet traction was fine. Slipped a bit in ice, but admittedly I am partial to snow tires in very cold weather.”
“My sister put the CC2 on her RAV4 Hybrid. She did notice a hit in MPG but she also said she is ok with that since she has a lot better grip and less noise than whatever was on it new. She just did a round trip from NY to TN and commented how nice it was for road noise and when it poured. She did experience one snow and was very happy with them. I have the Pirelli P7 AS+2 on my Accord and Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS+2 on my daughters CRV. Both are a lot quieter than previous tires and ride great (GY Weatherready and Defender T&H). Bought the Pirelli’s because of noise ratings and reviews. I would not hesitate based on them to get the Pirelli AS3 but I run full winters on my vehicles. CC2 or a Nokian all weather would probably be my choice if I was doing a one tire.”
“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.
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.
