“I bought a set of 20” M-wheels when I my X5 was at around 2k miles. I had fitted Pirelli scorpion zero runflats on it. At 65k miles, they had to be replaced due to compound cracking, thread was still at 5 to 6/32. I think they served me well.”

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.

Community opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Zero are divided, with many users praising their smooth, quiet ride, excellent traction, and comfortable handling on SUVs and EVs. However, a significant number of owners report frustratingly short tread life, with tires wearing out prematurely well before their mileage warranties, alongside complaints regarding high costs and issues with foam-insulated noise-canceling versions.
“Going to replacing the factory installed Scorpion Zero tires by the end of this year. Curious to see if anyone has installed P Zero's over Scorpion Zero's. I've had P Zero's on my last SUV and they were amazing. Will get more thread life on the Scorpion Zero's vs P Zero's (500 vs 220) but the look and feel of P Zero's is unmatched to any other tire I've had before.”
“I have a 2022 base model with 20in wheels and bought it with Michelin latitude tour HPs and had one in bad shape and just replaced all four with Pirelli scorpion zero AS plus. So far so good but haven’t experienced snow yet. I’m questioning the quality of the Michelins considering the car is 4 years old and the prior owner had replaced 3/4 of them at differing points, but who knows I guess it could have been a number of different things. The Pirellis were also cheaper than the Michelins.”
“Replaced OE dunlop tires with pirelli I had a nail in one of my tires, took that to discount tires and they checked the tread and it was all over the place in all 4tires ranging from 1 to 4. They suggested to replace all 4 tires. So original tires lasted about 27k. Replaced all 4 with Pirelli Scorpion Zero AS Plus 3 NCS Elect. Driving is very smooth now , less noise and enjoying these new tires. Just wanted to share the experience...they also have 50k miles warranty Anyone else who got these tires.”

Only Pirelli Scorpion Zero has enough test and review data for a Relative Score, so there is no head-to-head winner yet.

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.
