Pirelli  Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico

For a driver like me, who doesnt get off the beaten path, because I want to be seen...in the hottest ride, the Scorpion Zero is unparalled in every category (even the ones you cant rate)! Performance is breath taking, with remarkable grip in cornering (even in wet conditions), take-off drive, responsiveness, stability...there is just not another tire that I have ever driven on that put so much power to the pavement (and kept it there!!!). The unrated category is that the Scorpion Zeros looks and appeal completely enhance the vehicles sex appeal. They are as much a styling enhancement at the 22" rims they ride on. The same tires are on my truck, that are on Formula One race cars (the winners cars at least)...yeah you gotta love that too!

I have had superior results from the OEM Pirellis. I have admittedly ran them to the nubs, but I am only now replacing them with the same. I note that one other reviewer experienced an annoying but fleeting issue, namely that for the first few miles on cool or cold days that the tires vibrate harshly, but it disappears in a few minutes and despite extensive amount of rebalancing and realigning, no issues were found with the truck. A strange but very allowable fault. If you are a sunbelt resident who rarely sees snow, do yourself a favor and outfit your truck with these beauties. Dry performance is outstanding - when people drive this truck they literally comment on how fantastic the ride is. In wet conditions, especially when in the first 40k, I had absolute confidence. While other SUV's were slowing down, I charged ahead unfazed by the weather. I understand they are pricey, but compared to your vehicle, it is a great investment.

I'm a dedicated snow tire user typically but I thought I'd give these tires a try this winter and I'm glad I did. I do have AWD, anti lock breaks, traction control, etc.... and these tires have been great overall. I've been in deep snow, light snow, and ice as well. The tires have been better then expected in all cases. I would definitely buy these again. I don't know if I'll risk a second winter, but I wouldn't with any all season. I may try it with these as they are wearing very well so far. They still seem like new after 11k miles.

I have a ML320 fitted with the ML 55 AMG wheels. Before using the Pirell, I had a set of Yokohama AVS S/T. The Yokohama is great at the beginning, but, became very noisy after 20 plus thousand miles.



Pirelli definitely has better grid on icy and snowy surface. I have put on more than 1000 miles on the pirelli, and it is still quiet and runs very well in icy and snowy condition.

We bought these tires for my wife's SUV a couple of years ago and we have been very happy with them. The ride is quiet and comfortable yet they offer a very confident cornering stability in all road conditions and driving situations. As an amateur race car driver I like to test my car's limits from time to time and I gotta tell you, these tires never disappointed me. I also tested them in a snow blizzard one winter and they handled fairly deep snow without any noticeable issues.
As for treadwear, even after 20k miles on them, the tires feel as good as new. A definite winner, which I recommend highly.

Original equipment on the truck. I have purchased a new set (same tire). Great cornering and w.o.t. traction. Quiet and smooth. Predictable performance during "spirited driving".

Drop pressure to 22 p.s.i. for 1/4 mile track use for the best traction. This tire does however have a fairly high rolling resistance apparently, but the truck still went 155 m.p.h.

I increased the size slightly from a 40 to 45 profile. These tires are remarkably smooth compared to the OE Michelins. I also purchased a set of Cooper LTZs, same size, which are way too agressive (very noisy with a rough ride due to the off-road design) for on-road use. Highly recommend plus sizing to these tires for a comfortable ride with excellent dry weather traction.

These are the oem tires on my truck. I've driven 22k on them and they seem to be ok. All have 5/32 remaining with regular balancing and rotations. All in all not a bad tire, but going to step up a little in size to a 305/45/22 instead of the 275/45/22 to get a taller tire and a cheaper price. Probably going to get about 35k out of these before they're done. Not the best tire I've owned or the worst. On my F-150 they get flat spots if it's cold and it's parked more than about 2 hours. It will ride like a dumptruck for about 2 miles and it will clear up. They wear well for a low-profile tire and in the rain are very good. Dry not bad either. Even in slight mud they're pretty decent. However they're not really a great snow tire. But where I live it might snow 2 inches a year.

I have enjoyed my tires on my SUV. They made traveling comfortable and smooth. Would highly recommend.

I just moved from the Scorpion Zero 40K on them, to the Zero A. At first I was weary as the tire itself looked less cool than the Zero ( no yellow scorpion and rounder on the sidewall). But as soon as I drove down the highway I became a fan. Much quieter,smoother, better response. It was as if I bought a new SUV. My hat goes off to the folks at Pirelli for trumping their own product.

Anybody looking to buy some all-seasons for a SUV should go to the ZERO A or nothing.



cheers

Not sure if its the truck or the tires (my bet is truck) but wet weather handling is truly evil. Dry weather is good and treadwear is simply phenominal. With >500hp and a love of donuts I can still get considerably more than 22k miles from them. I would estimate 30k miles before they are toast.

These are the best SUV tires I have ever owned and I wouldn't buy anything else. Tread wear is also quite good.
