“I have the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season from factory on my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Not the exact same tire as yours, yours is the updated version. Great tires, quiet, good in rain and light snow. I would buy again when its time to replace mine.”

Tire A

Nexen N FERA SUR4

We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.

Tire B

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season

Mixed

Community opinion on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season is mixed, with strong praise for wet traction, dry handling, and quiet initial ride quality. However, several owners report issues with high-speed vibrations, cupping, increased road noise as the tires age, and mediocre tread life. Winter performance receives conflicting assessments, ranging from adequate in light snow to requiring dedicated winter setups.

“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”

“Well, it was in fact due to bad camber and toe-out of my front wheels. I complained to dealer to do the alignment because of my feathering and that the car was fairly new and less than 8 months old. The alignment had to be out from the factory as I have not used this car anywhere else except on smooth highways between home and work without any potholes or bumps. They replaced a left front caster bolt and did alignment along with rotation of the front wheel/tires to the rear. The noise is there but alot less (70% less) now and I can at leas wear them in properly from this point forward until they are done in approx 10k miles. I know that once tires are cupped they cannot be reversed but can be minimized for the time being. Thank you everyone who commented here. PS: Pirellis are not that bad but just a bit firm and more noisier than Michelins as they get older.”

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.
