Pirelli Scorpion Zero Performance All-Season Tire for Trucks, SUVs & CUVs in 295/40R21

Tire in Dry conditions can be noisy on dry pavement. Tire exceeds expectations in ANY type of wet weather, rain, snow, ice, fog you name it. That is when this tire performs as good as any Michelin Top of the line tire. As long as you get them rotated you should have no problem getting 50K miles out of this tire. Have driven Bridgestone, Firestone, Michelins , Continentals in comparison the this Pirelli Model Scorpion Zero . It has earned the right to be called Top Shelf material.

It's an okay tire but I recommend you look elsewhere if you can. Unfortunately, I'm in a position where this is one of about 3 tires I can choose from. I dislike the options enough that I am considering buying different wheels and tires altogether. I have little positive to say about the tire other than they did okay the two times it snowed lightly in central Missouri, and that they seem to do reasonably well when it's wet.
Our first set only lasted approximately 27000mi. In the tire's defense, this is due to the fact that the dealer was inflating them 10 pounds over the recommended pressure. as they wore to about half-life and down they sounded like loud truck tires (a whine, not the mud tire roar through). They didn't balance well either and required lots of counterweights; they really need a shot that can road-force balance the things. Towards the end of their life, they had also developed (so told when having them changed) lumpy spots.

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.

These Pirelli Scor[pion Zero tires were OEM standard on my Volvo XC60 T6 and have lasted 48,500. I will be replacing them with a new set as they have earned the reward. They are trouble free. Wear evenly, and are quiet. The Volvo goes well with them in the snow and on wet and or dry pavement. I will change them at the current mileage as winter is coming but if it were summer, I think I can get perhaps 5000 more miles on them. A really good tire.

the Pirelli Scorpion Zero is a very good tire in many ways, and is better than most of its competitors. This set of tires lasted a very very long time but they started deteriorating at about 60,000 miles. they begun wearing very unevenly and cupped which caused very noisy highway miles (Alignment was checked and was perfect). I am on my second set as of this year now, and they are actually a really good tire when new.

Dry: warm, dry weather these are great. Even though my GL is quite a large vehicle I drive very spiritedly and these tires offer great feel and turn in composure as well as grip. they are not quiet even when new, but are acceptably loud for the first 40-60,000 miles. After that number of miles, the tires should be replaced anyways for safety. braking performance is also very good even with a heavy trailer load.

Wet: wet traction in the warm is quite good as well. no complaints about the tire, feels very well composed even under heavy rain conditions.

Winter: this is where this tire ( and most other so called all seasons ) fall on their face. they're almost unsafe when compared to my Nokian Hakkepeliita winter setup, but compared to other all-seasons, they are ok. ICE traction is where these are best in the winter. stopping is an issue with these, as is cornering. snow traction is very very poor (even when compared to rival all-season tires). anything up to 4" is ok, but sketchy in the stability department. anything above 6", even at low speeds, you aren't going anywhere. even with all-wheel drive. they lack a pliable compound and grooves to get the job done.

over all, it's one of the better all around tires, but I would consider it a three-season tire, and if you treat it as such, it is a fantastic set of rubber.

buy winter tires for winter if you live in such a climate.

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.

Great handling tire. Have not driven offroad or on snow, so only wet and dry pavement traction have been noted to be excellent. I've read many reviews that complain about road noise and high wear rates, but these tires have taken me 22,000 miles and are finally in need of replacement, which is good considering that they have slung my 5,000 lb sled around corners and many quick acceleration runs. If you want more mileage from a tire, you sacrifice traction. Stop complaining. Road noise is noticeable, however, not by any means unbearable. Tire wear has been very even. Regular rotations and frequent checks of proper inflation have helped, I'm sure.

I've read the reviews on here and most people seem to be upset by the noise level of these tires or by how quickly they wear. They do wear quickly, don't expect more than 20,000 miles out of them. ALL tires become noisy when they are worn down. My guess would be, most people who have these tires were not expecting them to wear that quickly, so they aren't ready to replace them after only 20,000 miles and that is why they make noise.



My experience with these tires has been great. I've owned 3 sets and they were all 285/55/19. Unfortunately, Pirelli stopped production of that size tire, so I'm being forced to go down to 275/55/19. I'm sure they'll be just as nice.



Please make sure if you purchase this tire, you have them properly balanced on your vehicle and that you also get your vehicle re-aligned. There is no point in purchasing these high quality tires if you aren't going to do the whole procedure correctly from start to finish.



On a side note. This tire is not for the average person. The average person is not willing to buy the most expensive tire available, go get them properly balanced and aligned and then do it all over again after 20,000 miles. This tire is made for the person who is willing to accept that cost. If you want THE BEST ride comfort and luxurious tire on the market and you are willing to pay extra to get it, this tire is for you.

Came on my Tiguan as original equipment. Poor winter performance as they have aged, and I frankly no longer trust them in snow (or heavy rain). Replacing them next week with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06. Hopefully they'll work better for me here in northern Ohio.

The tires were the OEM on my SUV ME/BE 2012 GL450 . These tires have worn out incredibly quickly. I have trouble driving my SUV in rain and snow. If I stop, it is too difficult to get started again if the ground is wet with snow. The traction is terrible. I feel very unsafe with these tires and would not recommend them to anyone. I have to replaced them. It rained the other day and I felt like I had no control over my SUV on the highway. I have 32K on these tires and i have to replaced them . Poor winter performance as they have aged, and I frankly no longer trust them in snow (or heavy rain) these tires .i Replace them with The Scorpion Verde All Season Plus. Hopefully they'll work better for me here in northern New Jersey.

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.

OEM tires on the LR4. Treadwear is bad. 15k miles and will be on the wear bars soon. Rotated every 6k. One tire has had an internal failure. A large knot is visible on the sidewall. One and Done experience with Pirelli! Stay away!

My truck came with Continental Contact and I replaced at 27,435 miles in Dec 2015 only because I wanted a fresh tread for winter. The Perelli Scorpion Zero is a tire I previously had a good experience with on a Volvo XC 90. Fast forward, I am at 4mm on the tread indicator at 17,000 miles. So, while I have provided good ratings on handling, treadlife is poor. I'm putting the Continental's back on as I write.

Only lasted 21,000 and I treated them like a baby. Balanced and aligned multiple times. I am going to find the serial number or lot number and ask a Rep.....what happened? These were on a Volvo XC70
