Scorpion Zero is a unique tyre in its category. It was created by blending the materials and technology of the legendary P Zero with 4x4 knowledge and the experience of the Pirelli Scorpion range. An ultra-high performance product with dual benefits: top performance and safety, whatever the terrain. Scorpion Zero is the only true 4x4 tyre with a 'V' speed symbol, for speeds up to 240 km/h (150 mph), and M+S marking: this means high performance under the most demanding weather conditions.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

07.09.2016 from john BE AWARE DON’T GET THESE TIRES!! ACCORDING TO PIRELLI THEY HAVE NO WARRENTY ON THEM!!!!
I purchased these tires for my wife’s suv. In 4000 miles these tires have worn down to 2/32nd in the rear and 6/32 in the front. My wife is the safest driver I have ever met, I assure you she isn’t drag racing her suv on the weekends. I have been forced to buy a new pair of tires, and have only had them for 10 months, which means another grand out the door. This is pathetic, and when I called Pirelli I was told that I have the Asimmetrico tires (which I don’t) then I was told all scorpion zero tires are high performance and offer no warranty at all, and the best they could do is offer me 10% off my next set of tires. What a Joke. I have 4 cars, three of which have Pirelli tires on them and once the tread ware on each of them warrants replacement I will not be going back to Pirelli.
06.07.2015 from Sean Great on-road tire for regular conditions. Wear was a bit more than I hoped for a large vehicle tire of this type.
11.10.2014 from Bob B Tires had 13k on them when we acquired them. They were not rotated in that mileage frame. We did rotate them every 7500mi after that. Dry conditions handled flawlessly, wet was good, felt in control at all times. Any snow over 3 could not be handled. Hence this is a 3 season tire not all season. Noise was not intrusive but noticeable at all levels. Could have gotten more mileage had they been properly maintained from the start.
08.11.2010 from Geof Very heavy and fast tyre ware on front tyers
