Review on Pirelli Scorpion Verde 225/55 R19 99V summer by Franciszka Piasecka ᠌

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season R17. They were on a Subaru Outback. Tire mileage only on asphalt. I've been running these tires for about 15 years. Punctures were rare. Bought another set. For a year and a half, I changed all the wheels one at a time, because. I did not notice punctures and the tires were recommended for replacement. But it could be a coincidence. But there are facts. Those wheels that have traveled about 20,000 km have worn out to 3 mm of tread. I've thrown out before with a higher tread. But this is not the worst. One of the tires gave a longitudinal, about 40 cm crack right in the middle! Those. if you do not notice this in time, what can happen only god knows. I contacted Pirelli and they offered to send the tires to the factory for examination. It should be noted that everything was done very quickly and efficiently. I also sent a second tire with maximum wear, about which it was not balanced. Literally five days later I received an answer, quotes from which I will quote. For a tire that cannot be balanced: “The tread of the presented tire is characterized by the presence of numerous non-penetrating damages of a mechanical nature, which is confirmed by the presence of burrs and tears of rubber along the edges of the damage. These damages extend deep down to the breaker and provide access to moisture and air to the inner layers of the tire, contributing to their destruction "On the crack:" The longitudinal crack of the tread declared as the cause of the complaint is a manifestation of the destruction and delamination of the layers of the breaker and carcass as a result of a violation of the integrity of the tire, and subsequent operation of the tire with access to the inside of moisture and air ”I will refrain from commenting. When buying Pirelli tires, just think about the fact that they are designed for driving on roads where it is impossible to SCRATCH the tire, and if scratched, then do not drive on wet and / or wet roads. Pirelli tires are not designed for this. And then it can Crack along and BURST right on the go. With respect to Giovanni Battista Pirelli. Former Pirelli Tire Fan.
