My best overall pick among these Pirelli tires is the Scorpion All Season Plus 3, a versatile SUV and crossover option that suits drivers seeking an all-season tire without stepping up to the sport-focused Zero line. For a more performance-oriented SUV, the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 is a standout; for passenger cars, the P Zero All Season Plus 3 offers the clearest sporty alternative. The main tradeoffs are vehicle fit, comfort versus responsive handling, and whether an all-season design matches your climate and driving. This list also includes a motorcycle tire, so buyers need to check vehicle type before comparing options. Read on for the full breakdown and help matching a Pirelli model to your needs.

Key Takeaways
- Scorpion All Season Plus 3 earns the overall SUV and crossover pick because it offers a broad-use alternative to the sportier Scorpion Zero line.
- Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 is the better fit for SUV drivers prioritizing a more performance-oriented character, but it is not the default choice for every crossover.
- The P Zero All Season Plus 3 and standard P Zero All Season listings suit passenger-car shoppers, while their exact sizes and ratings still need to match the vehicle.
- Several models appear in multiple sizes, including Scorpion Verde, Scorpion STR, Scorpion Zero, and P Zero; a model name alone does not confirm correct fitment.
- The Angel ST set is the only motorcycle option, so it belongs in a separate comparison from the 14 passenger-vehicle tires.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season 235/60R18 103H SUV/Crossover Tire
I’d place the Scorpion Verde All Season high on the list for drivers who want a road-focused SUV tire with efficiency in its brief. Its optimized profile and materials are intended to reduce rolling resistance, which may suit daily commuting, while the large contact patch is designed to support grip and handling on dry and wet roads. It also covers light winter conditions, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated severe-winter tire.
Compared with the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3, the Verde makes a more direct efficiency case; the Zero Plus 3 supplies a stated 70,000-mile limited tread-life warranty and noise-focused tread design. The Verde’s main tradeoff is less detailed longevity information in the supplied specifications, so I’d choose it for its stated efficiency aims rather than a documented mileage advantage.
Pros:- Designed to reduce rolling resistance, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions
- Large contact patch supports dry- and wet-road traction and handling
- All-season design includes capability for light winter conditions
- Vehicle-specific fit listed for the 235/60R18 size
Cons:- Not intended for severe winter conditions
- The supplied product data does not state a tread-life warranty
- Its efficiency-focused description does not provide a quantified fuel-saving estimate
Best for: Crossover and SUV owners with 235/60R18 fitment who prioritize everyday road manners and a tire designed to reduce rolling resistance.
Not ideal for: Drivers who regularly face severe winter weather or want a stated tread-life warranty to compare before buying.
- Tire size:235/60R18
- Rim size:18 inches
- Load index:103
- Load capacity:1,929 pounds
- Maximum pressure:44 psi
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Season:All-season
- Construction:Radial, 4-ply
Our verdict“Choose the Scorpion Verde if you want an efficiency-minded, road-focused SUV tire for dry, wet, and light-winter driving, not severe snow.”
Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 255/45R19 104Y XL SUV/Crossover Tire
The Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 is my pick for SUV and light-truck drivers who want a clear longevity target alongside wet-road features. Its 70,000-mile limited manufacturer tread-life coverage gives buyers a concrete point of comparison, while longitudinal grooves help channel water and 3D siping is designed to support grip and stopping in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. An optimized pitch sequence also aims to limit road noise and vibration on longer drives.
That makes it a more warranty-focused choice than the Scorpion Verde All Season, whose supplied data emphasizes rolling resistance instead. The tradeoff is that this model is still an all-season tire, not a severe-winter solution, and the stated tread-life coverage is limited rather than a guarantee of actual service life. Check vehicle fitment and load requirements before choosing this 19-inch XL size.
Pros:- 70,000-mile limited manufacturer tread-life coverage is stated
- Longitudinal grooves help channel water
- 3D siping is designed to support traction and stopping in varied conditions
- Pitch sequence is designed to reduce road noise and vibration
Cons:- Light-winter capability does not make it a severe-winter tire
- Tread-life coverage is limited and does not guarantee real-world mileage
- The XL load range and 19-inch size may not suit every SUV or crossover
Best for: SUV, crossover, and light-truck owners with compatible 255/45R19 fitment who value stated tread-life coverage and wet-road tread features.
Not ideal for: Drivers who need dedicated severe-snow capability, or owners whose vehicles require a different size or load rating.
- Tire size:255/45R19
- Rim size:19 inches
- Load index:104
- Load range:XL
- Tread depth:10/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Construction:Radial
- Manufacturer tread life:70,000-mile limited coverage
Our verdict“Pick the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 if your vehicle takes this XL size and you want stated tread-life coverage with wet-road and noise-focused design.”
Pirelli Scorpion STR 245/50R20 102H SUV/Crossover Tire
For an SUV or crossover owner seeking a highway-oriented all-season tire with specific features aimed at slippery conditions, I’d shortlist the Scorpion STR. Its Traction Grooves and X-Sipe technology are designed to support grip in wet, snowy, and slippery conditions, while Sport Plus Technology and Quick View Indicators add handling-focused and tread-monitoring elements. A stated 50,000-mile limited mileage warranty gives it a documented longevity reference.
Compared with the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3, the STR has a shorter stated warranty, but its product description calls out snow-oriented features more directly. Neither description supports treating these as severe-winter tires. The STR is also a vehicle-specific 20-inch fit, so size compatibility matters; its supplied data does not include detailed test results for braking or handling performance.
Pros:- Traction Grooves and X-Sipe technology are designed for wet, snowy, and slippery conditions
- Sport Plus Technology and Quick View Indicators are included
- 50,000-mile limited mileage warranty is stated
- All-season highway design suits road-focused SUV and crossover use
Cons:- Its stated limited mileage coverage is shorter than the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3’s
- Not positioned as a dedicated severe-winter tire
- Supplied product details do not give individual performance measurements
Best for: SUV and crossover drivers with compatible 245/50R20 fitment who want highway-oriented all-season use and tread features aimed at slippery conditions.
Not ideal for: Drivers needing a dedicated severe-winter tire, or buyers seeking the longer stated tread-life coverage offered by the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3.
- Tire size:245/50R20
- Rim size:20 inches
- Load index:102
- Load capacity:1,874 pounds
- Maximum pressure:44 psi
- Tread type:Non-directional
- Tread depth:12/32 inches
- Tread warranty:50,000-mile limited mileage coverage
Our verdict“Choose the Scorpion STR if your SUV takes this 20-inch size and you value stated slippery-condition features over a longer listed tread-life term.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season Tire, 235/45R18 94V
The P Zero All Season is the sportier passenger-car choice in this group, with a ribbed tread designed for responsive steering and stable handling. Siping and circumferential grooves are intended to support wet-road grip and light snow traction, while the tread layout also aims to keep cabin noise down. Its 235/45R18 sizing and 22.4-pound listed weight distinguish it from the larger SUV-focused Scorpion options.
Compared with the Scorpion Verde All Season, this P Zero puts the emphasis on steering response rather than SUV fitment and rolling-resistance goals. That focus comes with limits: the listing does not establish severe-winter capability, and RunFlat, PNCS, and SealInside features are available only on select sizes—not automatically on this tire. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s required size and load rating instead of assuming the listed universal fit covers every application.
Pros:- Ribbed tread is designed for responsive steering and stable handling
- Circumferential grooves and siping support wet-road and light-snow traction
- Tread elements are designed to reduce cabin noise
- Listed weight is lower than the SUV-focused options in this batch
Cons:- Not presented as a severe-winter tire
- RunFlat, PNCS, and SealInside features are limited to select sizes
- The listed universal-fit designation does not replace checking vehicle size and load requirements
Best for: Drivers of compatible passenger cars who want an 18-inch all-season tire designed for responsive steering and wet-road use.
Not ideal for: SUV owners seeking a vehicle-specific tire, drivers who need dedicated winter performance, or buyers expecting RunFlat, PNCS, or SealInside features on this size.
- Tire size:235/45R18
- Rim size:18 inches
- Load index:94
- Load capacity:1,477 pounds
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Tread type:Symmetrical
- Season:Year-round
- Construction:Radial, 4-ply
Our verdict“Choose the P Zero All Season for a compatible passenger car when steering response matters more than SUV-specific fit or severe-winter traction.”
Pirelli Scorpion STR All-Season Tire, P275/55R20 111H
The Scorpion STR P275/55R20 is the broadest-use SUV pick here: its all-season, all-terrain positioning is aimed at wet, dry, and off-road driving, while the tread design is intended to promote even wear and reduce road noise and vibration. Its 111 load index and 2,403-pound listed load capacity set it apart from the smaller-fitment options such as the Scorpion Verde, though buyers still need to confirm that the size and load rating match their vehicle.
Compared with the highway-oriented Scorpion STR 245/50R20, this version is described for off-road use as well as paved roads, and it carries a larger 32.1-inch diameter. The tradeoff is that it is explicitly listed as non-winter, and its 65,000-mile limited tread-life coverage applies only to eligible non-original-equipment, LT, or commercial uses. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs guaranteed coverage outside those categories.
Pros:- Designed for wet-, dry-, and off-road traction
- Listed load capacity is 2,403 pounds
- Tread design is intended to promote even wear
- Tread aims to reduce road noise and vibration
Cons:- Listed as non-winter, so it is not a choice for severe winter conditions
- 65,000-mile limited tread-life coverage applies only to specified eligible uses
- At 47 pounds and 32.1 inches in diameter, it is a substantial tire that requires correct vehicle fitment
Best for: Owners of compatible larger SUVs who want an all-season tire described for both paved roads and occasional off-road driving.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking a winter tire, owners of vehicles that do not call for P275/55R20, or buyers whose use does not qualify for the stated tread-life coverage.
- Tire size:P275/55R20
- Rim size:20 inches
- Load index:111
- Load capacity:2,403 pounds
- Maximum pressure:44 psi
- Tire diameter:32.1 inches
- Season:All-season, non-winter
- Tread-life coverage:65,000-mile limited coverage for specified eligible uses
Our verdict“Choose this Scorpion STR if your larger SUV requires this size and you need mixed paved-road and off-road use, but check warranty eligibility and winter needs.”
Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 245/60R18 105H SUV/Crossover Tire
For crossover and SUV drivers who put steady mileage and everyday comfort ahead of sporty steering, I’d rank the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 as the most balanced pick here. Its 70,000-mile tread-life warranty and full-depth sipes favor long-term all-season use, while the tread design targets wet, dry, and light-snow traction. Compared with the P Zero All Season 245/60R18, this Scorpion is the more natural fit for utility-focused vehicles; the P Zero emphasizes responsive handling instead. The tradeoff is that its touring priorities don’t make it a winter tire: drivers facing frequent severe snow or ice should choose dedicated winter tires. Its 245/60R18 fitment and stated load capacity also need to match the vehicle placard.
Pros:- 70,000-mile tread-life warranty
- Full-depth sipes support traction and braking as the tread wears
- Designed for wet, dry, and light-snow performance
- SUV- and crossover-oriented 245/60R18 fitment
Cons:- Not intended for winter-only or severe-snow use
- Touring-focused design is less suited to drivers prioritizing sporty steering response
Best for: Crossover, SUV, and pickup owners seeking a touring tire with a long stated tread-life warranty and everyday wet, dry, and light-snow capability.
Not ideal for: Drivers who regularly encounter severe winter conditions or want sharper, performance-oriented steering feel.
- Tire size:245/60R18
- Load index:105
- Load capacity:2,039 pounds
- Rim size:18 inches
- Tread depth:12/32 inches
- Tread type:Symmetrical
- Maximum pressure:44 psi
- Tread-life warranty:70,000 miles
Our verdict“Choose this Scorpion for a utility-focused SUV or crossover that needs long-wearing, comfortable all-season performance rather than winter specialization or sporty handling.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season Tire, 245/60R18 (105Y)
I’d choose this P Zero All Season over the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 when steering response matters more than touring durability. Its asymmetrical tread and siping are designed to support cornering control and grip in wet conditions, with inner-block sipes aimed at added snow traction. The Scorpion is the more utility-minded option and lists a 70,000-mile tread-life warranty; this P Zero has a shallower listed tread depth of 10/32 inch and no warranty information in the supplied data. There’s also a fitment-data wrinkle: the product name says All Season, while the season field says Summer. I’d verify the exact tire specification and vehicle fit before buying, particularly if year-round use is the goal.
Pros:- Asymmetrical tread is designed for responsive steering
- Siping supports wet-road cornering and traction
- Inner-block siping is intended to aid snow traction
- Tread elements are designed to limit cabin noise
Cons:- Supplied season data conflicts: the name says All Season, but the season field says Summer
- No tread-life warranty is listed in the supplied specifications
- 10/32-inch listed tread depth is less than the Scorpion All Season Plus 3’s 12/32 inches
Best for: SUV or crossover owners with a confirmed 245/60R18 fit who value responsive steering and wet-road cornering over a stated long-mileage warranty.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking unambiguous all-season documentation, a long stated tread-life warranty, or a tire for frequent severe winter driving.
- Tire size:245/60R18
- Load index:105
- Load capacity:2,039 pounds
- Rim size:18 inches
- Tread depth:10/32 inches
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Weight:35.1 pounds
Our verdict“Consider this P Zero if responsive SUV handling is the priority, but verify its season specification and fitment before relying on it for year-round driving.”
Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 Tire, 255/45R20 105Y XL
For a CUV or SUV that calls for a 255/45R20 XL tire, I’d give this Scorpion Zero the premium-fit role. Its water-draining grooves and 3D siping are aimed at wet-road control and light-winter stopping, while the optimized tread pitch targets less road noise and vibration. Against the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 in 245/60R18, this model suits a different vehicle setup: it has a 20-inch rim fitment and XL load range, while the other Scorpion is a more conventional touring choice with 12/32-inch tread depth. This Zero’s listed depth is 10/32 inch, and its 70,000-mile warranty is specified as limited. It is not a substitute for dedicated winter tires in persistent snow or ice.
Pros:- 20-inch fitment with XL load range for vehicles specified for this size
- Water-draining grooves are designed to reduce hydroplaning risk
- 3D siping supports wet, dry, and light-winter stopping
- Tread pitch is designed to reduce road noise and vibration
Cons:- Limited 70,000-mile tread-life warranty has conditions
- 10/32-inch tread depth is less than the Scorpion All Season Plus 3’s listed 12/32 inches
- Light-winter capability does not replace a dedicated tire for severe snow or ice
Best for: Owners of CUVs, SUVs, or light trucks whose vehicle requires a 255/45R20 XL tire and who want all-season road manners with wet-weather features.
Not ideal for: Drivers whose vehicles require another tire size, or those needing dependable traction in severe winter conditions.
- Tire size:255/45R20
- Load index:105
- Load range:XL
- Rim size:20 inches
- Tread depth:10/32 inches
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Tread-life warranty:70,000 miles limited manufacturer tread life
Our verdict“Pick this Scorpion Zero when your SUV requires its 20-inch XL size and you want a quiet-leaning all-season tire, not a severe-winter specialist.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season 215/55R17 94V Tire
This P Zero All Season is the lineup’s performance-minded choice for sedans and sports cars that use a 215/55R17 fitment. Its asymmetric tread and specialized compounds are designed to balance grip and handling with year-round comfort, a different priority from the SUV-focused Scorpion models. Compared with the P Zero All Season 245/60R18, this version is aimed at a smaller 17-inch wheel and carries a lower listed load capacity of 1,477 pounds; those figures make vehicle-specific fitment especially important. The 9/32-inch tread depth is also shallower than the Scorpion All Season Plus 3’s 12/32 inches. It offers a performance-oriented direction, but the supplied data does not include a tread-life warranty or a specific snow rating.
Pros:- Asymmetric tread is designed to support handling and grip
- All-season construction for varied-weather use
- 17-inch fitment for compatible sedans and sports cars
- Designed to balance performance with ride comfort
Cons:- Vehicle-specific 215/55R17 fitment limits compatibility
- 9/32-inch listed tread depth is less than the Scorpion All Season Plus 3’s 12/32 inches
- No tread-life warranty or specific snow rating is supplied
Best for: Drivers of luxury sedans or sports cars that specify 215/55R17 and want a Pirelli all-season tire with a handling-focused design.
Not ideal for: SUV owners, vehicles requiring another size or load capacity, and drivers seeking a stated long-mileage warranty or severe-snow capability.
- Tire size:215/55R17
- Load index:94
- Load capacity:1,477 pounds
- Rim size:17 inches
- Tread depth:9/32 inches
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Tire diameter:26.3 inches
Our verdict“Choose this P Zero for a compatible 17-inch sedan or sports car when handling takes priority over SUV capacity or a stated long tread-life warranty.”
Pirelli Angel ST Motorcycle Tire Set, 120/70ZR17 Front and 180/55ZR17 Rear
This is the only motorcycle option in the group, so I’d rank the Angel ST set for sport-touring riders rather than compare it as an alternative to the car and SUV tires. The front and rear pair use high-silica compounds and directional tread designed for wet- and dry-road grip, including in lower temperatures. Tread indicators give riders a way to monitor remaining tread, while the radial construction is aimed at stable handling and mileage. Compared with the car-focused P Zero and Scorpion models, its advantage is a matched motorcycle front-and-rear setup; its limitation is equally clear: fitment is vehicle-specific. The listed combined load capacity is 520 pounds, so riders need to confirm the motorcycle’s requirements and the correct tire sizes before purchase.
Pros:- Set includes one front and one rear tire in specified 17-inch sizes
- High-silica compound and directional tread are designed for wet and dry grip
- Built for year-round sport touring, including lower-temperature riding
- Tread indicators help show remaining tire life
Cons:- Vehicle-specific fitment rules out many motorcycles
- Listed load capacity is 520 pounds, which must match the motorcycle’s requirements
- Not comparable to the car and SUV tires elsewhere in this roundup
Best for: Sport-touring motorcyclists whose bike specifies 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear tires and who want a matched year-round set.
Not ideal for: Car and SUV owners, motorcyclists with different required sizes, or riders whose motorcycle requires a higher load capacity than specified.
- Front tire size:120/70ZR17 58W
- Rear tire size:180/55ZR17 73W
- Rim size:17 inches
- Load index:58 front, 73 rear
- Load capacity:520 pounds
- Construction:Radial
- Tread type:Directional
- Included components:1 front tire and 1 rear tire
Our verdict“Choose the Angel ST pair only if your sport-touring motorcycle specifies both listed sizes and its load requirements match the set.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus 3 255/35R19 96Y XL Passenger Tire
The P Zero All Season Plus 3 is the sharpest fit here for drivers who want an all-season tire for a performance coupe or sedan in a wide, low-profile 19-inch size. Its asymmetrical tread, dense siping, and four wide grooves are intended to balance steering response with wet-road grip and reduced road noise. Compared with the 215/55R17 P Zero All Season Performance Tire, this 255/35R19 version has a wider section and lower sidewall profile, making it the more performance-oriented fit when the vehicle calls for that size.
The tradeoff is less certainty about seasonal fit: the listing describes it as all-season, but its season specification says Summer. I would verify the exact tire designation with the seller or a tire professional before buying. Its 50,000-mile limited warranty is a useful ownership detail, though this low-profile fit will not suit every car or driver seeking a softer ride.
Pros:- Asymmetrical tread is designed to support handling and braking
- Dense siping supports grip and helps limit road noise
- Four wide grooves help channel water and slush
- Includes a 50,000-mile limited manufacturer tread-life warranty
Cons:- Listing conflicts on season, describing the tire as all-season while specifying Summer
- Low-profile 255/35R19 fit is limited to vehicles that call for this size
- Performance-focused construction may favor response over a softer ride
Best for: Drivers of compatible performance coupes or sedans who want a wide 19-inch tire, all-season design features, and a stated tread-life warranty.
Not ideal for: Drivers who need confirmed winter capability or a comfortable, high-sidewall fit; the listing has conflicting season information and a 35 aspect ratio.
- Tire size:255/35R19
- Rim size:19 inches
- Load index:96
- Load range:XL
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Tread depth:10/32 inch
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Tread-life warranty:50,000-mile limited manufacturer warranty
Our verdict“Choose this P Zero if your vehicle takes 255/35R19 and you confirm the season specification before purchase.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season 235/45R18 94V Tire
This P Zero All Season suits luxury-sedan and sports-car owners who want a performance-oriented tire in a common 18-inch fitment. Its asymmetrical tread, specialized compounds, and sipes are designed to help maintain handling and grip through varied weather, while the stated year-round use makes it more season-flexible on paper than the P Zero All Season Plus 3 255/35R19, whose listing gives conflicting season information.
The 235/45R18 size and 94 load index make vehicle fit and load requirements the first checks; the sporty design is not a substitute for a comfort-focused touring tire. The listing also gives no specific treadwear estimate or mileage warranty, so buyers who prioritize a predictable replacement schedule have less information than they do with the 255/35R19 Plus 3. I would shortlist it for handling-minded daily driving, not severe winter use.
Pros:- Year-round design for varied weather conditions
- Asymmetrical tread and specialized compounds target handling and grip
- 18-inch size fits a range of luxury sedans and sports cars
- Specified load capacity is 1,477 pounds
Cons:- Performance focus may be less suitable for buyers prioritizing touring comfort
- No treadwear figure or mileage warranty is provided
- No severe-winter performance claim is listed
Best for: Luxury-sedan and sports-car owners whose fitment calls for 235/45R18 and who want an all-season tire with a performance emphasis.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking a non-performance touring tire, a stated mileage warranty, or a tire intended for severe winter conditions.
- Tire size:235/45R18
- Rim size:18 inches
- Load index:94
- Load capacity:1,477 pounds
- Tread type:Asymmetrical
- Tread depth:9/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Season:Year round
Our verdict“Pick this P Zero for a compatible luxury sedan or sports car when year-round handling matters more than a published mileage figure.”
Pirelli P Zero All Season Performance Tire, 215/55R17 94V
The 215/55R17 P Zero All Season Performance is the lineup’s more everyday-sized performance option. Its ribbed tread and circumferential grooves are designed to deliver responsive steering while moving water away from the contact area, and the siping targets added cornering and snow traction. Compared with the wider, lower-profile P Zero All Season Plus 3 in 255/35R19, this 17-inch tire is aimed at vehicles with a more conventional fitment rather than a distinctly sporty wheel setup.
That does not make it a winter tire: the listing provides no specific winter rating, so I would not choose it for frequent severe snow or ice. Run-flat, noise-cancelling, and SealInside features are available only on select sizes, not guaranteed for this exact tire. It also lacks a stated mileage warranty, which leaves less guidance for owners comparing long-term tread life.
Pros:- Ribbed tread is designed for responsive steering and cornering
- Circumferential grooves help channel water
- Siping is designed to support snow traction
- 17-inch fitment is less low-profile than the 255/35R19 P Zero Plus 3
Cons:- No specific winter performance rating is provided
- Run-flat and other named technologies are available only on select sizes
- No mileage warranty or specific treadwear figure is listed
Best for: Drivers of compatible sedans who want a 17-inch all-season tire with steering response and wet-road drainage features.
Not ideal for: Drivers who need verified severe-winter capability or require run-flat, noise-cancelling, or SealInside technology in this exact size.
- Tire size:215/55R17
- Rim size:17 inches
- Load index:94
- Load capacity:1,477 pounds
- Tread type:Symmetrical
- Tread depth:9/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:51 psi
- Season:All-season
Our verdict“Choose this P Zero for a compatible 17-inch sedan when you want performance-oriented all-season features without a low-profile 19-inch fit.”
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season 285/45R22 114H SUV/Crossover Tire
The Scorpion Verde All Season is the sensible pick here for SUV and crossover owners seeking a year-round design with an emphasis on tread longevity. Its slow-wearing compound and longitudinal and lateral sipes are intended to support even wear and grip, giving it a more durability-minded role than the premium-focused Scorpion Zero All Season 275/45R21. The Verde’s 285/45R22 fit and 114 load index also make it a substantial tire for vehicles specified for this large wheel size.
That size is a strict fitment requirement, not a reason to use it on any SUV; confirm the vehicle’s approved tire and load specifications. The listing provides only a limited manufacturer warranty without a mileage figure, so the longevity language is not a quantified tread-life promise. It also notes a sales restriction in Arkansas. Buyers comparing it with the Scorpion Zero should favor the Verde for its stated slow-wear emphasis, not for a premium noise-control feature.
Pros:- Designed for year-round SUV and crossover use
- Slow-wearing compound is intended to support longer tread life
- Sipes are designed to aid grip and even tread wear
- Load index 114 with a listed 2,601-pound load capacity
Cons:- Limited manufacturer warranty has no mileage figure in the supplied data
- Large 22-inch fitment restricts it to vehicles specified for this size
- Listing states it is not available for sale in Arkansas
Best for: SUV and crossover owners with approved 285/45R22 fitment who prioritize year-round use and a tread compound designed for longevity.
Not ideal for: Drivers whose vehicles require another tire size, buyers seeking a quantified mileage warranty, and customers in Arkansas where the listing says it is unavailable for sale.
- Tire size:285/45R22
- Rim size:22 inches
- Load index:114
- Load capacity:2,601 pounds
- Rim width:9.5 inches
- Tread depth:10/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Season:Year-round
Our verdict“Choose the Scorpion Verde for an approved 22-inch SUV fitment when tread longevity matters more than the Scorpion Zero’s noise-control feature.”
Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season 275/45R21 110W XL SUV/Crossover Tire
For a premium SUV or crossover with 21-inch wheels, the Scorpion Zero All Season puts more emphasis on road manners and responsive all-season use than the Scorpion Verde All Season 285/45R22. Its four longitudinal grooves and dense siping are designed to move water and support wet- and light-snow traction, while the noise-cancelling system aims to reduce cabin noise. That combination makes it a strong match for drivers who want a performance-oriented SUV tire without giving up attention to ride sound.
The limits are clear: the listing describes suitability for light snow, not severe winter conditions, so this should not stand in for a dedicated winter tire where snow and ice are routine. Its 275/45R21 size and XL load range also need to match the vehicle placard and wheel setup. Compared with the Verde, it offers a quieter-ride feature but no stated warranty or slow-wear emphasis.
Pros:- Designed for dry, wet, and light-snow conditions
- Four longitudinal grooves help channel water
- Dense siping supports wet and light-snow traction
- Noise-cancelling system is intended to reduce road noise
Cons:- Not intended for severe winter conditions
- 21-inch fitment limits compatibility to vehicles specified for this size
- No warranty or mileage figure is included in the supplied data
Best for: Premium SUV and crossover owners with compatible 275/45R21 fitment who value wet-road traction and reduced road noise for everyday driving.
Not ideal for: Drivers who regularly face severe snow or ice, or SUV owners whose approved fitment does not call for 275/45R21.
- Tire size:275/45R21 110W XL
- Rim size:21 inches
- Load index:110
- Load capacity:2,337 pounds
- Tread type:Non-directional
- Tread depth:10/32 inches
- Maximum pressure:50 psi
- Season:All-season
Our verdict“Pick the Scorpion Zero for a compatible premium SUV when quieter road manners and light-snow capability matter more than severe-winter traction.”
How We Picked
I compared the 15 listings by intended vehicle type, tire family, listed size, and stated load and speed ratings where provided. The ranking favors options with a clear role and broader relevance for the vehicle category they serve, rather than treating every Pirelli tire as interchangeable. I also considered how much a model’s positioning helps buyers choose between all-season everyday use and a more performance-oriented SUV or passenger-car option.
The Scorpion All Season Plus 3 ranks first for its straightforward SUV and crossover use case. The Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 and P Zero All Season Plus 3 follow as more performance-leaning alternatives for SUV and passenger-car drivers, respectively. Other Scorpion and P Zero variants remain useful when their specific size and vehicle fit make them the better match; the Angel ST is ranked separately because it serves motorcycles. These listings do not provide comparative test results, so I do not claim measured differences in braking, noise, wear, or wet-weather grip.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Pirelli Tires
Before choosing by model name, I would narrow the field by vehicle fit, driving conditions, and what you want the tire to prioritize. These checks help prevent a common mistake: selecting a familiar Pirelli family while overlooking a size, rating, or vehicle-category mismatch.
Start With Vehicle Fitment, Not the Tire Family
Read the size and service description on your current tire or in your vehicle’s manual before shopping. The listings here span passenger cars, SUVs and crossovers, plus one motorcycle set, so the names alone do not tell you whether a tire fits. A P Zero in one size is not automatically interchangeable with another P Zero listing. Check width, aspect ratio, wheel diameter, load index, and speed rating against your vehicle’s requirements. For vehicles with different front and rear specifications, confirm both positions rather than assuming a matching set. If your vehicle has a tire-pressure monitoring system or special manufacturer fitment, check compatibility with a qualified tire retailer.
Choose Between Everyday and Sport-Oriented Priorities
Think about whether you value everyday versatility or a more performance-focused feel before comparing names. In this lineup, Scorpion All Season Plus 3 is the broad-use SUV and crossover choice, while Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 is positioned as the sportier SUV alternative. The P Zero options serve passenger-car buyers looking for a performance-oriented family, but their sizes and versions vary. A sporty label does not by itself prove that a tire will suit your roads, commute, or comfort preferences. Avoid choosing solely by brand prestige if your main need is a practical replacement for routine driving. Use your vehicle requirements and driving priorities together to narrow the options.
Treat All-Season as a Category, Not a Winter Guarantee
All-season naming can make a tire sound ready for every climate, but it does not mean every model is suited to severe winter conditions. Consider how often you encounter packed snow, ice, or sustained low temperatures, and check the tire’s markings and manufacturer guidance for your specific model. Drivers in mild climates may value one set for year-round driving, while those facing demanding winters may need a dedicated winter tire strategy. Do not infer winter capability from the Pirelli name or a broad all-season label alone. Local road conditions and seasonal rules can also shape the right choice. If winter traction is a priority, verify the exact tire’s certifications before buying.
Read Load and Speed Ratings Alongside Size
Two tires with the same nominal dimensions can differ in load capacity or speed rating. Several listings include XL or higher load designations, which matter only when they meet the vehicle maker’s requirements and intended use. Do not select a lower rating just because the dimensions appear to match. Nor should you assume a higher rating automatically improves comfort or suits every vehicle. Compare the full sidewall specification with the door-jamb placard or owner’s manual. When the listing leaves out a rating or the fitment is unclear, ask a tire professional to verify it before ordering.
Decide Whether the Motorcycle Listing Belongs in Your Search
The Angel ST set is for motorcycles, not cars, crossovers, or SUVs, and it needs to be assessed using motorcycle fitment requirements. Check the required front and rear sizes, rim compatibility, and the motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications. Do not compare its role or construction directly with the passenger-vehicle tires in this roundup. If you are shopping for a car or SUV, exclude the Angel ST from your shortlist. If you ride, confirm that both listed tire sizes match your bike and that the set suits its intended use. Keeping this distinction clear prevents a category mismatch from becoming a costly ordering error.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Pirelli tire in this roundup is the best starting point for an SUV or crossover?
I would start with the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 if you want a broadly positioned SUV and crossover option. It is the clearest all-around pick here, while the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 makes more sense if you specifically want a sportier SUV-oriented alternative. Neither model should be chosen by name alone: match the exact size and ratings to your vehicle. Also check whether your climate calls for a dedicated winter tire rather than an all-season model.
Should I choose Scorpion Zero or Scorpion All Season Plus 3 for my crossover?
The choice comes down to the role you want the tire to play, as well as exact vehicle fitment. The Scorpion All Season Plus 3 is the more straightforward everyday SUV and crossover pick in this roundup; the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3 is the more performance-oriented alternative. The listings alone do not establish measured handling, comfort, or wear differences, so avoid assuming one will outperform the other in every condition. Compare the required size, load index, and speed rating first, then check manufacturer information for your vehicle and typical roads.
Are the P Zero All Season listings interchangeable?
No. The roundup includes P Zero All Season tires in several sizes, plus P Zero All Season Plus 3 listings, and the names do not make their specifications interchangeable. Size, load index, speed rating, and vehicle requirements must all match. Some listings are identified for passenger cars, while others provide different specifications, so compare the full product details rather than the family name. If you are replacing only two tires, ask a qualified tire professional whether mixing versions or tread patterns is suitable for your vehicle.
Can an all-season Pirelli tire replace winter tires?
Not automatically. The all-season label does not tell you whether a particular model will provide the winter performance you need on ice, deep snow, or consistently cold roads. Check the exact tire’s winter markings and manufacturer guidance, then weigh those details against your local conditions and driving routine. For frequent severe winter weather, a dedicated winter set may be a better match. Confirm any seasonal requirements that apply where you drive before deciding.
How do I know whether the Angel ST tire set fits my motorcycle?
Compare the listed front and rear sizes with your motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications, and verify rim compatibility and load and speed requirements. The set is not a substitute for any of the passenger-car or SUV tires in this roundup. Make sure your bike calls for the listed 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear sizes before purchase. If your motorcycle has different original fitment or you are unsure about approved alternatives, consult its manual or a motorcycle tire specialist.
Conclusion
For most SUV and crossover shoppers in this lineup, I recommend the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 as the best overall starting point. My best value pick is also the Scorpion All Season Plus 3 for buyers who want a practical, broadly useful SUV option; the listings do not provide price data to support a cost-based comparison. For a more performance-focused SUV, choose the Scorpion Zero All Season Plus 3; for a passenger car, look at the P Zero All Season Plus 3 or the standard P Zero options in the correct size. Beginners should begin with their vehicle’s placard and compare the required ratings before choosing between tire families. For specific needs, the Scorpion Verde and STR options offer additional SUV listings, while the Angel ST is the motorcycle-only choice. Match the exact fitment and climate needs to your vehicle, then use the model family to refine the shortlist.
