I took a mini ski vacation and on my way home last night it was snowing pretty hard. I picked up a '25 GLE 450e in June so this was my first real snow test with it. Since its a lease I'm not going to invest in winter tires and was curious how the 21" staggered Pirelli Scorpions Zero's would do. For an all-season tire it did all I wanted. I wasn't doing 70 but 40-50 mph was very comfortable. Visibility was bad for all of the 170mi ride home limiting what I was willing to do. The other plus I averaged 37mpg.
Drove 3hours in a blizzard like a TANK. I was able to drive 70mph with confidence, everyone else was going 20-30mph. I do have nitto motivo 365s which are 3pms certified but dang im impressed.
I have a 24 ecoboost awd fx4. I was getting about 28 with the stock tires. I upgraded to 235 65 17 all Terrain tires and it has dropped to 25. I don't mind the trade off as these tires are worlds better than those stock Pirelli Scorpions.
I've liked the pirelli scorpion as3+ in mn. Plenty of salt on the roads and plowed fairly well to not need snow tires in my opinion.
Have 5k on these. Great tires.
I had nitto motivo before and they were pretty solid for a tire.
Installed the Pirelli Scorpion Zero AS Plus 3 NCS Elect 275/45/20 tires on our CX-9 and the first few hundred miles felt loose/squirrelly but it’s fine now.
Avoid the nittos. They just aren't a good value and the company is behind the curve on tire compounds. Bought a wheel and tire pack for tracking thinking the discount was good with tires, wish I just bought the wheels alone in retrospect.
late to the post but i just hit 70,000 km on my ridge grapplers. shit tire off road,snow,ice,mud but will last.
La mine pirelli cinturato se aud ca o cărămidă după o vară și iarnă, zici că am rulmenții stricați.
