Tire A

Pirelli Scorpion Verde

Mixed

Community sentiment for the Pirelli Scorpion Verde is mixed, with users frequently praising its low road noise, dry handling, and comfortable everyday ride. However, many drivers report disappointing tread longevity, premature cracking or chunking, and significantly degraded performance in winter conditions and heavy rain as the tires wear.

“Are Pirelli Scorpion Verde really that ‘not awesome’? Took our fair weather Georgia ‘23 B6 up to Michigan this past week. Great stuff, except for some slipping and sliding. I’ve read in this forum that some folks are not fans of the stock Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires. But it wasn’t enough for me to consider alternatives prior to our trip, like replacing the 32k mile tires or buying dedicated winter tires. We won’t do such trips often, once a year max. Now I’ve go my eye on the future as the Pirellis wear out. When temps were below <20F (-6C) there was some slipping and sliding when I wasn’t expecting it. My sister’s rented Atlas did not seem to suffer the same behavior. (I assume stock all season.) Any help calibrating my expectations would be welcomed. PS: we did have chains in the trunk if conditions got really bad.”

“What are you getting for mileage on OEM Pirelli Tires? As the title asks, what are you getting for mileage on the oem Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires, 265/50/20? Our '20 Grand Cherokoee High Altitude 4x4 just hit 22k miles and the tires were at 2/32nds. Even wear all around, tires were rotated at 5k mile intervals and pressures checked weekly when I wash the vehicle. I replaced them last week with Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 that have a 70k mile treadwear warranty. I know OEM tires do not have a treadwear warranty, but the Scorpion Verde line has a 60-65k mile treadwear warranty, so I am surprised to have gotten only 20k miles out of them. Is that typical?”

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.
