Description
The Pirelli SCORPION VERDE™ All Season (the correct name; “Ai” is likely a typo or shorthand for “All Season”) is an eco-friendly touring tire designed for Crossovers and SUVs, prioritizing comfort, safety, and fuel efficiency on various road surfaces. It is part of Pirelli’s “Green Performance” family, engineered with innovative materials to reduce environmental impact.
Key Features and Technology
- “Green Performance” Focus: The tire uses highly aromatic oil-free (HAOF) compounds and an optimized, lighter profile to lower rolling resistance, which improves fuel economy and reduces CO2 emissions.
- All-Season Capability: It features an asymmetric tread design with four wide circumferential grooves to expel water, enhancing wet traction and resisting hydroplaning. High-density lateral siping improves stability and traction in rain and light snow, marked with the M+S (Mud and Snow) symbol.
- Comfortable & Quiet Ride: An optimized tread pattern and pitch sequencing significantly reduce internal and external road noise for a smooth driving experience. Some versions can be equipped with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS) technology, which uses a sound-absorbing foam inside the tire to further reduce cabin noise.
- Safety Technologies: Certain sizes incorporate Run-Flat technology, allowing continued driving for a limited distance after a puncture. Others may have Seal Inside™ technology, which self-seals punctures from external objects.
- Handling and Durability: The tire is designed for excellent handling and stability, even on large SUVs, and aims for increased tread life.
Ideal For
Drivers of crossovers and SUVs (such as the Audi Q7, BMW X5, and Land Rover Range Rover) who want a balance of on-road performance, safety, and environmental consciousness, with occasional light off-road use.
