Pirelli scorpion Verde Reviews - Page 4

Given 53% while driving a Volvo XC60 (225/60 R18) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
THESE CAME FITTED AS STANDARD ON MY BRAND NEW, MY 2016,VOLVO XC60 SE LUX NAV D4 FRONT WHEEL DRIVE

THESE TYRES ARE DANGEROUS IN THE WET,LOSE TRACTION AND GRIP ROUND BENDS, LETHAL IN THE SNOW ICE

IN THE DRY THEY ARE GREAT, BUT BEING IN THE UK,ITS MOSTLY DAMP OR WET HERE
THESE TYRES LOSE TRACTION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ON PULLING AWAY IN THE WET AND DAMP CONDITIONS UNLESS YOU DRIVE AT A SNAILS PACE
IN THE SNOW THEY ARE AS IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON ICE
THESE MUST BE THE VERDE SUMMER TYRES AS THEY ARE VERY HARD WEARING, HARDLY ANY WEAR IN 15000 MILES THIS MAY BE THE PROBLEM , CIRCA 6 MM FRONT 8 MM PLUS REAR,THE COMPOUND OF THE RUBBER IS TO HARD FOR THE UK TEMPERATURES AND CLIMATE , IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN THE UK MARKET.

I WILL BE REPORTING THIS TO VOLVO NEXT WEEK AS HAD ENOUGH OF THESE TYRES AFTER THIS LAST BIT OF SNOW, MADE THE CAR NEAR UNUSABLE, NOT GOOD FROM A CAR MANUFACTURED IN SWEDEN WHICH SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

PS I HAVE OVER 40 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE, BOTH MILITARY AND CIVILIAN FROM MOTORCYCLES TO CLASS 1 HGV ABNORMAL LOADS, ON AND OFF ROAD, ITS THE TYRES NOT ME!

Given 90% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 50,000 spirited miles
Stunning. Range Rover Evoque from new. Changed fronts at 50k miles because of shoulder wear. Just changed backs at 61k miles because of a puncture - they still were about 1 mm above the gauge. I don't drive slowly, have used the vehicle to tow trailers including collecting stone from a quarry. Great value.

Given 100% while driving a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Auto (225/45 R17) on for 0 miles
Got these on my 2016 Volvo XC60 and just clicked up 22,000 miles and still got at least 5,000 more on them. Used on and off road in all weathers and never had a problem. Only 1mm wear difference between the front and the back.

Given 46% while driving a Volkswagen Tiguan (235/55 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 2,000 average miles
These are dreadful tires, replaced Dunlop SP4 on my VW Tiguan hoping that the Pirelli Scorpion Verde would be better on a SUV.
They are very noisy and thrum on any good surface but more importantly they have no traction at all on damp or wet surfaces and are frightening in the wet whilst cornering.
They constantly understeer on any damp suface and inspire zero confidence.

Given 49% while driving a Land Rover Range Rover Evoque (245/45 R20) on mostly town for 3,000 easy going miles
Bought new tires for a range rover evouque 3 months ago average mileage and around town no off road.
Lost pressure in front near side went to have it checked over and was amazed together with the tire fitter that a small thorn and I mean small had penetrated ,and due to position of it being borderline had to have it replaced.
Good job I did not take it off road!
Poor quality rubber it looks like so beware.

Given 89% while driving a Chrysler 300C (245/45 R20) on a combination of roads for 35,000 spirited miles
Fitted these tires to a Chrysler 300c as a replacement for the Goodyear F1 that were fitted as OEM. Goodyear only did 25K miles.
The Scorpion Verde have done in excess of 35k miles and are not in need of replacement yet. I will replace with the same type again.

Given 97% while driving a Rover (255/55 R20) on a combination of roads for 54 spirited miles
With these Pirelli I have done 54,000 kms up to now with my Range Rover Sport 2015 and haven change them yet. The only problem I have got is that two of them get cut on the side while doing off road on mountain rock road.

Given 97% while driving a Volvo XC70 D5 (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 50,000 easy going miles
Second set of these I've put on the Volvo now and they are great, get over 35k miles a set and are a great all rounder, very well matched to the car and easy to come by nationwide. Hard to give a full and accurate review of dynamic ability to the type of car they are fitted to but for the kind of driving I do I'll be happy to put a third set on.

Only issue is they are a little pricey, could be a few £ less to buy, over £550 for a set on my car!

Given 90% while driving a Ford Kuga (235/55 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 12,000 average miles
Very good in all conditions including snow and ice.Not as quiet or economical as expected but still comparable with previous continental 4x4 contact. The also seem to have more grip than the continental
