Pirelli Scorpion Zero Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 18 reviews

The Pirelli Scorpion Zero has a divided owner record, with tread life the most frequently discussed aspect and no clear agreement on how long it lasts. Mid-life and end-of-life accounts include both disappointing wear and long service. Wet grip is similarly split, with four critical mentions against three positive ones, so confidence in rain cannot be treated as a consistent strength. Dry grip receives a small but favourable response. Snow reports also conflict, with three complaints and two favourable accounts, while the few comments on off-road use are too limited for a firm verdict.

I have a mercedes GL, with 15000 miles on the scorpions. In the last 5000 miles they were always out of balance, numerous times they were re blanced, but still there was a vibration. Finally, I noted the sidewall breaking down, with some rubber falling off , about 4 cm in diam. This had developed on 3 tyres, one on the outside (the one i first notice) and the other two on the inside. NO, I would definately not recommend them for this vehicle again. The tyres were always properly inflated.

13,300 and the front left if 80% worn, front right not too far behind. Rears appear in a better shape. Not great in the wet.
Will not be purchasing these again.

I drive 120 round trip to work all motorways after 3 miles of country lanes, hence driving a Landrover Freelander, great for motorway driving giving me height and increased safety. Have only just changed the front tyres after 35,000 miles, rears still fine - excellent tyres really feel safe and give mr control. Used the last two winters no problems getting out and on to the main roads. Highly reccomended.

I put these onto my V8 petrol Range Rover at 35k miles to replace the original Michelin road tyres and expected to get through them in about 25k miles. Just gone past 75k miles and having to replace the front two due to a road-debri puncture on one and near end of life on the other. The back two appear to have several thousand more miles to do. I was stunned when I checked to see what mileage I'd achieved.

When new, the change in handling on the car was noticeably better, especially in very wet weather and in snow. These tyres are a happy compromise between a road tyre's quietness and fuel efficiency (which didn't degrade at all) and an off-road tyre's grip. I'm sticking with this tyre and will convert my other cars to them gradually

Easy Going

I had a full set of 4 tires fitted, I'm not a lead footed boy racer driver. The type of driving is 50% motorway 50% town driving.
The tires were great at first (When New) in the wet and country roads etc.
They are a summer a tire and are very poor in the in the smallest amount of Snow, so don't think about using them for as a winter tire.(Get a set of winter tires)
The wear rate has been much higher then I would have liked 15 thousand miles and I'm looking to replace them, (They are around the 3mm) I would normally get at least 25 to 30 thousand miles from a set of tires.
Would I buy them again, NO I don't think so, there are not good value for money. You get what you pay for, they may be slightly cheaper than other makes this because they only last for half the time.

Spirited

Surprised to get over 30k out of these tyres on a Mazda CX-7 and they're only just reaching the limit and ready for change. Impressed at the performance at the price, best value branded tyre to be found. Spirited driving does not seem to impact wear and the handling is great too. Don't risk (slightly) cheaper mid price or economy.
