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.

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.

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.

Just drove thirty miles on untreated ice roads without problem. From four lane to up and over 3500' mountain with hairpin curves and steep ascent and descent. AWD up, 4WD down-no problem. Not bad for tires with over 33 K of mountain driving on them!

These tires came as the Original Equipment on my 2011 Ford Edge Sport and I couldnt be happier. In dry weather they have no problem sticking turns even in a 4500lb SUV. I was reluctant about this tire for snow and ice, but after one winter Im convinced. Pirelli really did their homework on this tire. Its a wonderful all weather tire, its wearing well, and its very quiet on the highway at high speed with virtually no sizzle inside the cabin. I will purchase these tires again once the originals are worn off. Its my first set of Pirellis, but it certainly wont be my last.

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.

I replaced a set of Michelin Pilot LTXs with these Scorpion Zeros. The Michelins were very good tires but I feel like these Scorpions are a bit better in the traction department. I cant comment on the tread wear yet but if they last 55,000 miles like the Michelins did then Id be very happy since these Scorpions cost $40 less a tire. The AA traction rating is no joke either. They got me stopped in a hurry in the rain on the freeway the other day without the antilocks coming into play. Thats something the OEM Goodyear RSAs and the Michellin Pilot LTXs couldnt do when new or old. I hope the hot Texas summers and lots of horsepower dont kill these tires. The bottom line is they look good, grip like no tomorrow, they have a very good price, and a very impressive AA traction and 420 treadwear rating. I cant say anthing bad about them.

I've got 84k miles now on my Element. Just purchased my second set of Pirelli SCORPION ZERO ASIMMETRICO tires. The first set I chose to mount on aftermarket wheels when I purchased the vehicle new. When this set wore out at 42,000 miles, I chose an Asian brand to replace due to the savings involved. I was planning to replace these at the end of the summer, but one was recently damaged and needed replacement so I replaced them all.

Going back to the Pirelli tires revealed a sharp contrast in comfort and noise reduction. The Pirelli tires also out performed the Asian brand. Now that they're more competitively priced, for me there's no choice.

Living in N. Nevada, I choose tires primarily for dry traction and drive accordingly when it's rarely wet or in snow.

I moved to these after getting 55,000 miles on the OEM 20' scorpion ATR's which still weren't down to the wear bars yet, after over 35,000 miles, these tires still look great, are quiet, and smooth. I probably won't have to buy tires for a few more years but I know which ones will be replacing my current set!

OEM Tires. 35,000 miles of city & highway miles. Very stable, quiet, comfortable and even wearing tire, although with 4/32 of tread left they are becoming noisy. Very limited snow and ice experience with these tires due to geographic location. Replacing them with the exact tire -- which for me is unusual. Great tires IMO!

These tire were OEM, even with 4 motion traction these tired performed very well. never had a problem with them. They stick to the road and hardly any noise in tight curve. Tire wear, all i could say they are far superior to any other performance tired I had in my life! In hi speed, they are predictable, feel safe. But to be honnest the Tiguan intelligent traction control help a lot to avoid loosing traction and the spinning is "zero" In fact the first time a drove on a light coat of snow i couldn't feel the difference in traction until I brake (slow down!!) So with all this I hope you understand the good match with the 4 wheel motion of VW.

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.

At 45000 miles on this tire, I will give it three compliments. It is very quiet, It is comfortable and responsive, and the tread ware is good, and even.

However, Traction on this tire is pitiful! I'm burning rubber on dry asphalt streets at 1/3rd throttle. I've had better snow traction out of tires than these tires on a wet road. And forget about snow or ice. I got stuck on a flat driveway in 2" of snow, with traction control. On ice, I was blown off the road with a 10-15 MPH wind gust on a mostly flat street. DO NOT BUY THIS TIRE IF YOU EVER EXPECT TO SEE SNOW OR ICE!!!
