The Pirelli Scorpion Verde isn’t designed for the fastest SUVs on the planet. Instead, it’s more of a middle-ground tire, aimed at performance SUVs like the Porsche Macan, BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-AMG GLC. Still, the Scorpion Verde aims at providing the driver with high levels of grip and traction on dry and wet surfaces, exceptional highway stability, and high levels of comfort. Since fuel consumption is worryingly high on SUVs, the tire also features low-rolling-resistance technologies.
The real question is, though, how does it compare to other UHP summer SUV tires? In order to compete, the Pirelli Scorpion Verde will have to compare favorably to a very strong company of tires, such as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, ContiSportContact 5 SUV, Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport, and the Falken Azenis FK510 SUV.
So, how does the Italian performance tire do among this strong competition? I prepared an in-depth Pirelli Scorpion Verde review to find out – enjoy!
