Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season vs Yokohama W.Drive — Compared

“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”

“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 :)”
