“Tire replacement Looking to replace the Pirelli Scorpion Zero all seasons on my ‘23 Volvo XC40 recharge. Are people sticking with the OEM tires or is there another all season tire you would recommend. Looking for similar ride quality with more wear than the Pirellis.”

Tire A

Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season

Mixed

Owners often praise the Scorpion Zero All Season for quiet, comfortable ride, good grip in wet and light snow, and a better feel than winter or summer tires. Many others complain about short tread life, uneven or chunky wear, and vibrations or foam-related issues at around 25k miles. The tire's high price and the question of whether the Plus 3 or other brands are better value come up often.

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.
