Pirelli Scorpion Verde Tire Review

If you are in need of special touring summer tires for your SUV or light truck, look no further! Priority Tire offers a wide range of touring tires made for summer weather in various sizes. In our line-up, we offer the Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires – which promote a reliable, fuel-efficient, and comfortable drive.

The Scorpion Verde ensures exceptional summer weather traction, lowered road noise levels, decreased fuel consumption, and overall safer performance, which provide you with a secure driving experience.

Summer Performance

Summer tires are made to maintain their traction in the warm summer months by lowering the possibility of heat build-up during the drive. Their tread design and tire compound work together to provide you with a secure performance under the heat of the summer sun.

The Scorpion Verde features a special summer weather compound and an asymmetric tread pattern. The silica-based compound keeps its flexibility under the high-heat driving pressure, while the asymmetric tread elements, with the optimized siping detail, find a firm grip on dry and wet roads.

The model prevents dangerous hydroplaning as well. When driving through standing water – in wet weather – the tread design’s wide circumferential grooves actively disperse water from below the tire’s footprint. The increased hydroplaning resistance keeps the tire’s road contact at all times, which improves its road grip and controllability significantly.

Like all summer weather tires, the Scorpion Verde is not suited to be driven in winter. Such low temperatures damage the compound and the tread design loses its traction – making the tire hazardous to use out of season.

Comfortable Performance

Comfort and controllability are two main aspects of touring tires. They need to be quick in their response to the driver’s instructions and have to provide an enjoyable driving experience.

The Scorpion Verde combines these capabilities to guarantee you a secure and pleasant performance. The asymmetric tread design closely follows the road surface with its three center ribs and optimized shoulder tread blocks. The constant road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, as well as stabilizing the structure against the driving pressure that affects it. The outer shoulder tread block design heightens the number of biting edges to guarantee a powerful cornering capability. The better controllability allows you to confidently steer the vehicle in all summer conditions.

The constantly maintained road contact also manages to lower the road vibrations felt in the cabin. The three center ribs closely follow the road surface – as we have mentioned before – which absorbs the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road vibrations are not formed and not felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The vibration-free drive provides a comfortable performance.

Quiet Drive

The road noise levels also contribute to driving comfort. The higher road noise can be disturbing to some passengers and it may take away from the enjoyment of the drive. Summer tires are known for their low road noise levels, as the decreased number of siping details promotes less opportunity for the airwaves to create noise.

The easiest way for manufacturers to cancel out the road and tread pattern noise is to place a variable pitch sequence in the tread design. The Scorpion Verde reduces the road noise in this manner. Its variable pitch sequence negates the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that cancels out the noise generated before it reaches the vehicle’s cabin. This results in a quiet performance and driving experience.

Fuel Efficiency

When fuel prices are at an all-time high, it’s necessary to invest in tires that promote fuel efficiency. They are capable of saving on fuel costs by lowering the vehicle’s consumption.

The Scorpion Verde was manufactured with Pirelli’s special EcoImpact technology, which uses an optimized tread profile design and compound materials. As the model’s name implies (Verde is Italian for green) the tire is fuel-conscious and environmentally friendly. The optimal road contact decreases the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the vehicle by lowering the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tire that determines the amount of energy the vehicle consumes to keep it in motion. The lowered rolling resistance results in a more fuel-efficient model.

Extended Service Life

Two factors contribute to the tire’s extended usability: its lowered rolling resistance and ensured even tread wear.

The EcoImpact technology eases the driving pressure off the tire to decrease its rolling resistance. This actively slows the tread wear rate down, ensuring a longer-lasting tread life.

The asymmetric tread, on the other hand, manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking avoid irregular tread wear formations across the tire’s surface. As a result, the Scorpion Verde guarantees slower even tread wear, extending the tread life and the tire’s usability significantly.
