Given 57% while driving a Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon (225/55 R19 V) on for 27,000 average miles
Good grip and tyre wear, however huge tyre roar over 60mph. This coupled with a poor road surface can made long journeys a pain.

Very good tyre and very durable. I have still about 3 mm in front and 3,5 mm in the rear axle, but its became unsteerable in the vet.

I’ve just changed the OEM fitted Pirelli’s and had the same tyre fitted again. I had 35,000 miles out of the fronts with the n/s/f showing 2mm and the o/s/f at 3mm. With all the very heavy rain I was unwilling to leave it much longer though it’s just possible I could have got to 40,000. I’ve been happy with these tyres, I don’t push things these days so they are probably more suited to a cruising / motorway tyre than anything sporty. I noticed a significant improvement with the new tyres which is unsurprising as the degradation is gradual over time. The originals were very heavy on the steering at the end and were noticeably less happy dealing with rough road surfaces and potholes that seem to proliferate on uk roads today.

Mercedes Benz (255/45 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Good grip when it's dry but not so gripping in the wet. They have worn well for 20,000 miles with still a little life in them. A possible alignment issue has contributed to uneven wear at the front so they'll all be replaced. Pirelli don't make the Scorpion Verde run flat as an All Season tyre in 20" so looking at Goodyear as an alternative.

Volvo (215/65 R16 V) on mostly country roads for 25,000 average miles
Have used these tyres on our VolvoXC70since we bought our car and noticed Volvo fit them as standard.
We do a lot of caravaning in all conditions and found the traction capabilities to be superb.Thwy are quiet and long lasting.
We will insist on them when changing tyres

Came stock with my GLC. Worn down too quickly and is very noisy

Given 70% while driving a Land Rover Evoque (235/55 R19) on mostly country roads for 42,000 average miles
Original fitting to an Evoque. Still good after 42,000 miles so wear has been excellent despite rough country roads caning the life out of them. Down to 3mm on the front and now not so good in the wet and poor in standing water (to be expected I suppose). Excellent when we had snow, was only one to get out of the village apart from heavy duty land rovers.

These tyres came fitted from new on my XC60 2wd 2.0D4 in 2016. Previous experience with Pirelli tyres made me wary of just how good these tyres might be for grip. They have been almost faultless in the 3 years I’ve been using them. Ok I’m not doing high mileage around 10,000 per year, but at 32,000 miles they still have 3 mm left at the front and nearer 6mm on the rear. I’ll be changing them soon before the weather really turns but I’ll be looking to replace them with the same again. Handling and feedback are a bit of a subjective thing with a car like the xc60 albeit this is an RDesign model with slightly better handling, but I have no issues thus far. Driving mix has been around 60:40 between town and motorways.

Given 19% while driving a Volkswagen Touareg (235/65 R17 T) on a combination of roads for 7,000 easy going miles
These are the worst tyres ever made!
Firstly, I got a set of 235/65/17 for my Touareg. They wore out extremely fast and they got a lot of punctures. There was some time I carryed around two (2!) spare winter wheels because of this shit.

I never seen a tyre such bad, they got punctured even from small rocks!

After 3 or 4 years I decided to give this model another chance - I had a big discount for a 255/60/17 set (also compatible with my Touareg wheels). F*** my life! They were even worse - on country roads the small rocks simply cut into the tyre... I never experienced a tyre such bad and I had from Kormoran to Debica (romanian cheapest brand).
