“My mom's mercedes GLC300 came with pirelli scorpion Verde tires and they have 1/32" measured left on the wear bars after less than 30k miles. My mother drives like a grandma too. They're fine for turns and pep on Florida roads but absurdly short wear time.”

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.

Community sentiment regarding the Pirelli Scorpion Verde is polarized across different performance categories. While drivers frequently praise its quiet ride, responsive dry handling, and solid wet traction, many report poor snow and winter performance, alongside notable complaints of premature tread wear, cracking, and chunking.
“My Freelander used Scorpion Verde all-seaons from new. They weren't bad tyres, but I wouldn't buy them myself if that makes sense. They did last me a good while, but when they hit about 4mm of tread I did notice they were needing replacement soon. I ended up going with Vredestein QuaTrac Pro's. Slightly worse on fuel economy, according to the label, but they appear to hold up better. 19 inch alloys really limit what you can do. Personally I would drop down to 18 inch wheels. You get a good choice of rubber plus the bigger tyres make for a more comfortable ride.”
“2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee came w/Pirelli Scorpion Verde 265/50R20 and didn't even get 20k miles out of them. Worst tires I've ever driven on, driving on Interstate during rain and tires hydroplaning so much it felt like my lug nuts were falling off. Replaced w/Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast and way better tire thus far.”
“Quote: Originally Posted by arthurmnev Agreed. On top of that, I'd challenge any dealer on .2 inch variance screwing up electronics with a variance of air expanding and contracting due to heat.. A quick update on this. 275/40 r20 on 2013 a8l are too close to the steering arms. The gap with 265/40 20 is 10mm , a wider tire will shrink this clearance to 6mm. I ended up RMAing these in favor of 35 aspect ratio. These fit perfectly”

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.
