Depends on the model. I’ve had some great experience with Pirelli Scorpions and the P Zero. Usually not my brand of choice but if nothing is available and they are I’ll run them. Definitely more of a Michelin PS2/C type for my sport cars though. I’m about 3k miles into a set of PZero 21” on my LR Discovery. They handle the weight of the vehicle and road conditions really nice, so far have no complaints.

Honestly have no idea why anyone hates them but after giving up my OEM Yokohama Geolander for Michelin Defender 2's that had a weird vibration on the highway that the tire shop insisted wasn't from a bad balance, I returned those and got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. They ride MUCH better than the Defenders, which were one of the highest rated tires everywhere, and there is no weird vibe on the highway. My 22 CX-5 never rode so good.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
They have great grip, but they have insane pricing and terrible wear. The stock pirellis on my SRT GC lasted only 13k miles. I get 30k+ from everything else I put on it. The pirelli cost $600 each. My current nittos were under $300 each.
Well pirelli p4's where the lowest grip tires in rain and snow I've ever used even though they are 'all season'. Fwd cars should not do a 360 on snow at less than 15mph in a gentle turn. Never had that issue with any other brand of all seasons even in worse driving conditions.
My alfa came with pirellis p zeros, changing to Michelin ps4s was like discovering a completely different car. The previous owner of my AMG put some Pirelli P zeros on it for whatever reason. Car is awd but the tires can't handle a simple pull from a light.
I’ve had Scorpions on my car for ten years by now. When I had Michelins and Bridgestones they did not drive nearly as smoothly
I have nothing but good things to say about the Pirelli tires that I've bought. In fact, two weeks ago, I bought a set of Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActives to replace my Continental run flats and they're great (quieter, smoother ride, etc).
I'm new to this having zero experience with them before 2023 when I bought a new car that game on p7 all season run flats. These are the scariest tires I've driven on in my life. I swapped mine out immediately for some continental dws 206 after one night driving home in some rain, having to go 40 mph in the right lane with my hazard lights on because at 45 I would hydroplane and have no control. How they legally got away marking those as all season is beyond me.
Their summer tires are not guaranteed- I had a set of rears that I paid over $800 after 700 miles they had major uneven wear and alignment was spot on. I called sent pics and they said we don’t guarantee those tires - p-zero’s.
