Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres

Available in sizes from 16 to 21 inches, the Pirelli Scorpion Verde is a summer tyre designed for environmentally conscious SUV owners. While this might at first sound like a contradiction, a special tread concept has enabled its successful implementation. The Scorpion Verde's innovative tread compound and specially-selected tread pattern make it lighter and less rolling-resistant than the Scorpion STR - and lower rolling resistance means lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The Scorpion Verde is an excellent choice for drivers wishing to save money and protect the environment, since its special silica tread compound ensures even wear and prolongs the tyre's service life.

Even more important than environmental considerations are the tyre's safety-relevant characteristics. Here, the tyre material ensures maximum grip and short braking distances on wet roads, as verified by a 2012 ADAC test. The reinforced shoulders of the Scorpion Verde enhance its stability in both wet and dry conditions, with ADAC testers awarding its dry road performance a very commendable score of 1.6. Numerous specialist publications - such as the German "Auto Motor Sport" and "Autobild allrad" have attested to its low rolling resistance and resultant high level of driving comfort, the former of which is made possible by the pitch sequence in the tread.
