Derived from Pirelli's legendary P Zero performance tires, the Scorpion Zero is a Street/Sport Truck All-Season tire for sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The Scorpion Zero was designed to provide year round traction and handling for drivers who operate their light truck vehicles primarily on-road in various weather conditions, including very occasional light snow.
Depending on tire size, the Scorpion Zero radial's tread compound is molded into a single Z or double Z (two rows of Z-shaped tread blocks situated side-by-side) intermediate tread blocks to provide responsive steering, along with enhanced cornering and braking capability. Lateral grooves and wide circumferential grooves provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet weather traction. Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires combine high-speed precision with low noise levels.
El neumático Scorpion Zero es derivado del legendario neumático de rendimiento P Zero. Pertenece al grupo: Camioneta Carretera/Deportiva Para Toda Estación y satisface las necesidades de utilitarios deportivos y picops, utilizados más en carreteras que fuera de ellas, al ofrecer tracción y control durante todo el año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
Dependiendo del tamaño el Scorpion Zero radial tiene un segmento con bloques en forma de "Z" o dos segmentos "Z" (ubicados uno al lado del otro) intermedios que ofrecen respuesta al girar el volante y más capacidad al momento de frenar. Ranuras laterales y anchos canales circunferenciales extraen el agua resistiendo el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y aumentan la tracción en suelos mojados. El Scorpion Zero de Pirelli combina precisión a velocidades elevadas y poco ruido.

Putting a Trio of Street/Sport Truck All-Season Tires Through the Paces (02:45)
Street/Sport Truck All-Season tires offer a sporty blend of handling, reasonable ride comfort and all-season traction. Many are designed to complement SUVs and CUVs.
During our tests, we got to know the different personalities of three tires from this category as we put them through the paces on our track and on the street.
Feedback analysis shows the Pirelli Scorpion Zero excels in dry traction (9-10 scores common) and delivers confident wet grip (7-8 range), aligning with its all-season street/sport truck focus. Winter traction receives mixed reviews, with some customers noting reduced confidence in snow and ice (4-6 scores). Ride comfort earns praise for smoothness (7-9 range), though a few report road noise. Treadwear raises concerns, with inconsistent ratings (0-8 spread) suggesting shorter lifespan for aggressive drivers. Ideal for buyers prioritizing dry/wet performance in a sport-oriented all-season truck tire, but winter-heavy users may want dedicated snow tires.

These were good tire for handling in the rain and in snow...
These were good tire for handling in the rain and snow. I had no problem with them except that they wear too fast. I only got 28k mile out of them and I think a company like Pirelli should make tires that last longer. If you don't care about replacing tires ever other year than get these, but if your like me I need tire to last longer and I will be looking for another brand.

These tires are much better in wet conditions than my original equipment general tires. I have added many performance items to my truck. My factory tires would slip and scare me in water. With these tires I can actually accelerate to normal speeds without tire slippage. They are great in dry conditions also. I will definitely purchase a new set when my tires wear.14000 miles and still going strong and look new.

...The wet traction is outstanding; never felt uneasy on the roads regardless of the amount of moisture...
These were the O.E tires on my Rover. I've put roughly 9K miles on the tires since I purchased the vehicle. So far, I don't have any BIG complaints with the tires. They are a bit noisier than what I would have expected on a 'Luxury SUV', but it really doesn't bother me. Dry traction is what you come to expect from Pirelli tires. Wet traction is outstanding; never felt uneasy on the roads regardless of the amount of moisture.
The only thing that would keep me from purchasing these again would be the price. With so many comparable tires on the market, the high price may not be worth it.

...Dry cornering and handling in general is superior...
I chose these tires for the price and the performance profile and have not been disappointed. Some reviewers remarked about excessive noise, but I have not noticed it to be a problem. Dry cornering and handling in general is superior, and wet traction is way better than the OEMs. The only problem I have is on snow, but that it not much of a concern here in central Oklahoma. The appearance of these tires also definitely adds to their appeal. The only real drawback so far is that they are extremely heavy, so if youre worried about unsprung weight, look elsewhere, and it makes them a bit difficult to balance properly. Tread wear seems to be at least as good as advertised. Overall, Im very pleased with these tires and am seriously considering a set for my wifes Rodeo. I would buy them again, if I keep my vehicle that long.

...Wet and Dry Traction is exceptional, even when the truck is being pushed to its limits. It feels like the body would come off the frame before the tires would let go.
I bought these tires as an upgrade to the factory Tiger Paws. Wet and Dry Traction is exceptional, even when the truck is being pushed to its limits.
It feels like the body would come off the frame before the tires would let go. The tires are wearing nice and even. My only complaint is the need for frequent rotation to keep the noise to a minimum. As they are wearing, the noise level seems to be increasing. I don't drive this truck in the snow, so I can't help there. I should get 20K out of them, but after that, I think I am gonna have to start looking for a new set. I would consider buying them again.

...Otherwise they are fine tires - a significant improvement in dry and wet traction over the OE tires...
Biggest problem is that the tires vibrate quite a bit when cold. Otherwise they are fine tires - a significant improvement in dry and wet traction over the OE tires. Not expecting stellar tread wear, but theyre much cheaper than the whopping *two* other options in 255/65-15 for the Dakota Quad Cab, which kind of balances it out. Tread wear so far has been better than expected given some of the other comments Ive read. Noticed some unevenness on the inside of the tires when I rotated them recently - I attribute that to the vibration when cold.

These are the best tires I’ve ever had on a vehicle. Minimal road noise and such a smooth ride. You will be going 70 on the highway, and these tires make it feel like you are going 40. The traction and response of steering is impeccable. You may pay a premium for these, but if these traits listed above matter to you, it is worth it.

...heavy steering on parking lot, rough ride on bumpy road...
Im comparing a 255/55/18 109V Pirelli Scorpion Zero (Sport Truck All Season) to a 255/55/18 109H Bridgestone Duele Alenza (Highway All Season) and a 235/70/16 104SP Goodyear Integrity (OEM Highway All Season) on a 2006 Honda Pilot. My comparions are based on the 2006 Honda Pilot that has stiff suspension and weak power steering. (Your cars suspension might be softer and power steering might be stronger, so the tires can react different on your car) . 1/ RIDE COMFORT: the Scorpion Zero is the worst, heavy steering on parking lot, rough ride on bumpy road. The Integrity is light and smooth. The Alenza is ranked between the other two tires. 2/ HANDLING: the Scorpion Zero is the best, quick and precise steering response. 2nd is the Alenza. 3/ LOOK: The Scorpion looks best on the Pilot with sporty wheel. For 2006 Honda Pilot owner, before change your wheel to a larger size and a female is also using the car, think twice because steering will be heavier, and the ride will be much rougher, especially with sport tire like the Scorpion Zero. Only the best Highway AllSeason tire like the Alenza could smoother your ride on a large size rim, but it wont look very sporty.

...They were very noisy and in winter traction was poor...
I bought my 2006 Touareg with these tires and I am completely disappointed. I had to change them after 19,000 miles (average driving style). They were very noisy and in winter traction was poor. I will definitely never buy them again. No more Pirelli. I do not recommand anybody to buy these tires. This week I bought the Conti Cross Contact LX and the first impression is very positive. I expect them to perform much better than the Pirelli's.

...Coupled with my all-time all-wheel-drive these tires are unshakeable in dry and wet conditions. There downfall is in snow...
My Scorpion Zeros are aproaching 15,000 miles with 5,000 mile rotation intervals. The treadwear is even and tread depth looks substantial for a tire with 15,000 miles on them. There have been a lot of complaints about tire noise but in my experience these tires make no more noise then any other tire Ive owned. Coupled with my all-time all-wheel-drive these tires are unshakeable in dry and wet conditions. There downfall is snow. Not enough to warrant a different tire for the possible four months out of the year that snow is on the ground here though. I would have no qualms about buying these tires again. Ive been very satisfied.

Do not buy this tire unless you area willing to buy them again within the year. I can't believe Pirelli put a product out with such a poor tread life... Less than 50% tread life in under 6 months.
Do not buy this tire unless you area willing to buy them again within the year. I can't believe Pirelli put a product out with such a poor tread life. Very good winter performance. I wish they would have lasted 7-8 winters since they are on the car for only 4-5 months a year as snow tires. VERY DISAPPOINTED in these. BUYER BEWARE Less than 50% tread life in under 6 months.

These are the worst tires I've had. My wife is driving our GL450 in a very relaxed manner. The tires lasted on 10,000 miles. At the time of purchase they balanced & aligned. Pirelli refused to admit that the tires are defective. The tires are wearing unevenly, expensive and don't last at all. I won't buy Pirelli's again.

The dry-pavement responsiveness and ride are markedly better than the OE Pilot gums. Decent snow traction required 4-wheel drive. The noise level and excessive wear, even with rotation @ every 6K miles, are unacceptable for a premium-priced upgrade. These booties wont last 30K and they may be gone way before then.
NO MORE ZEROS FOR THIS BOY.
