Performance Analysis

Across 11 summer SUV tests, the Pirelli Scorpion Verde delivers solid mid-pack performance with notable strengths in noise/comfort, rolling resistance/efficiency, and occasional standout wet braking and gravel ability. It rarely wins overall but often sits just behind class leaders, with average overall position 4.6. Weaknesses cluster around wet braking/handling consistency in newer tests, aquaplaning margins in some sizes, and off-road traction (mud/grass), plus relatively high purchase price in several comparisons.

The Pirelli Scorpion Verde (Green) has good braking performance and well balanced handling on wet roads. Good in the dry, the Pirellis don't like going past their limit and are quickest when driven...
