Reviews of Pirelli tires

One more vote for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Had them on the CX-5 for more than a year and they make me wish I had done it sooner.

I run the Pirellis on our MKT and it does fine year round. Decent grip in the twisties when it comes time for the lake trip, love those state routes. Never have any issues in the white stuff in the winter either. My brother had Conti Cross Climates on his GTI up until its last day and he loved them in the winter time though he did say they were a little lack luster in summer, they're AS tires after all.

We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.

I replaced the Goodyears with Pirelli WeatherActive, also Northeast.

I have the Pirelli scorpion at plus 10 plys with 60 000km so far they have been very durable, good in deep snow, about as good as you can expect for an all season on ice, good in soft ground / mud, decent on the highway under 120km/h but definitely fall short of the stock Michelins AT2’s I had on the highway.

Definitely notice the added weight and stiffer ride of the 10 ply’s. Tires are wearing well and I have not been gentle on them, expect them to last 100 000+ km.

Got a pair of P7s with wheels I bought - they had radial pull. No matter the car I put them on, I had to really fight the car to go straight because it would pull on the worn part of the road. Inner part of the tire quickly worn away while the outer part still had decent tread left. And yes, alignment had been done recently on one of the cars.

Pirelli p zero tires are garbage. They are a hard compound that lasts a decent amount of miles- but they lack in performance. Other brands have a better all around experience. Pirelli you're paying for a name, not for a good experience

I've seen similar sentiments online about Pirelli that didn't really match my experience. Most of my favorite driving sets of tires have been Pirellis. Not necessarily best by the numbers, but by how they felt on some of my more communicative cars on the road.

I had two cars that had pirellis, a VW GTI and. Corrado G60, I found them to be super stiff and prone to blowouts if I hit a pothole, hell it seemed like they’d blow if I saw a pothole! Pirelli got crossed off my list 25 years ago

Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
