Review Summary
Based on 59 user reviews
Drivers report mixed results for the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. High-scoring reviews often praise dry/wet grip, comfort, low noise when new, fuel efficiency, and especially long tread life on some SUVs, with several users exceeding 35-50k miles. However, a substantial number-weighted by many low scores-cite poor wet grip/aquaplaning, rapid/uneven wear (some <20-25k miles), and increased noise as they age; a few mention vibration/out-of-round issues. Overall sentiment is slightly negative given the frequency and severity of wet grip and wear complaints.
Strengths
- Dry grip
- Wet grip (light/moderate rain)
- Ride comfort
- Low noise when new
- Fuel economy
- Snow performance (for a summer suv tyre)
- Long tread life on some vehicles
Areas for Improvement
- Poor aquaplaning resistance
- Rapid tread wear on many vehicles
- Wet grip confidence issues in heavy rain
- Noisy as they wear
- Vibration/out-of-round quality issues (some reports)
Top 3 Pirelli Scorpion Verde Reviews
Highly recommended for highways trips.
Now it's time to change. I would definitely buy again.
The first set came with the car and was immediately out of round, causing noticeable vibration. Hunter Road Force testing confirmed the tyres could not be corrected.
I then purchased a new, identical set, hoping to fix the problem – but only two out of four tyres were matchable. The others also had excessive radial force variation (RFV). The car continued to suffer from vibration issues, despite proper installation and balancing.
After more than four months, Pirelli now offered a credit for just two tyres – despite my experience with two complete sets. For a premium product with AO OEM approval, this is very disappointing.
I will not buy this tyre again.
Latest Pirelli Scorpion Verde Reviews
Because of the higher price than Dueler, I will not buy again
Immediately after putting on these Pirellis and the moment I drove off the workshop, I could feel the difference. These tires felt smoother and quieter on the road. I bought this tires because I was hoping it would make my highway commutes more comfortable and I have the peace of mind when its wet. It indeed delivered on those fronts. On some occasions where I travel to travel on rough gravel roads, these tires performed very well. Gave me excellent grip through the gravel and had no problem whatsoever. Braking distance was also good and got me through some heavy rains and on flooded roads.
After 14 months and 40,000km later, the tires were well worn to the legal limit and I had to replace them. My only gripe was that, I wanted the tires to last longer because I have had tires where I pushed its life to beyond 50,000km. That was the only let down I had and subsequently went and purchase Michelin Primacy +.
Price wise, it was not the most expensive nor the cheapest. Definitely on the higher end but you get what you pa for. I would recommend this tire to others and would not mind buying them again. It is just that, I wanted to try other tires. Trust me when I say it is not as bad as the reviews bashing it.
