Description
The Pirelli SCORPION VERDE is a premium “Green Performance” tire designed for SUVs and Crossovers that emphasizes eco-friendliness, comfort, and safety. The “(MO)” designation on the tire indicates it is a specific original equipment (OE) fitment for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Key Features & Technology
