“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.
“I'm happy with my Scorpion Verde on my Durango. They replaced the OE Goodyear Forteras. The Scorpions that replaced the Forteras have a higher load rating and a stiffer sidewall that took some getting used to. Rain traction has been very acceptable and I'm very impressed with how the resist hydroplaning (interstates around here are notorious for holding water.) My winter driving has been acceptable as well but we normally don't get more than 3 inches at a time so I'm not sure how they would do in deeper snow. The short version is that I am quite satisfied with my set and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. A friend of mine bought a set for his Highlander after hearing me talk about mine. He is satisfied as well.”
“I have had both the Scorpion Verde (all season plus II) and the Scorpion Zero's I find that the Pirelli's last longer than the ConitSilent's that our X came with at delivery. Have 171k miles on the X, so we've been through a few sets now.”
“Pirelli Scorpion Verde HT Circumferential Balding on Mid-outer I have 2 sets of tyres on a FWD Mitsubishi Outlander, installed 500 Kms apart. Trying to understand why the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season have this balding on the outer 4/5th band for both tyres. It could be over inflation, but the Kumho Crugen HP71 don't show same wear yet both are usually at 35 PSI. Point of note, I have a Mi Air Compressor (full) that seems to differ PSI with petrol stations (It reads 32 PSI when I pump 35 PSI at the petrol station. I usually pump more with the compressor to what it reads as 35 PSI). On tyre usage, the Pirellis have done more than 3000 Kms of gravel on the front (Kumho chip a lot on gravel when at the front). About 500 Kms was on 30 PSI before Namibians advised me to use 26 PSi front and 30 PSI rear to better handle corrugations and skidding. Read more”

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.
