Review on Pirelli Scorpion Verde 225/55 R19 99V summer by Felicja Urbanska ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

These tires are on my Volvo XC90. I wrote the pros, now more about the cons. Rubber behaved adequately literally 5,000 km. What follows is sad. The car began to unrealistically scour the road, not only along the rut, but even at the hint of the rut, pulling the steering wheel out of the hands. If you come across a small influx on the pavement, then the steering wheel also breaks out of your hands. Despite the fact that I have enough strength, my hands get tired of holding the car literally after 20 kilometers. A bunch of smart people advised me to do a new balancing and collapse. I checked everything, everything was normal, but it did not save me from jumping. A couple of times it was so that he slightly loosened his grip and the car easily jumped to the side of the strip on the floor. It is more or less safe to drive at speeds up to 60 km / h. The second trouble is that the rubber absolutely does not hold lateral drift, i. E. if you turn sharply at speed, the car simply starts to slide with all wheels according to the laws of centrifugal acceleration. Everything is natural, of course, but not at a speed of 40-50 km / h. I've never had this happen on any tire. Gave two stars only for excellent braking on a straight line. By the way! If you slow down on a track, then the car will also be unrealistically strongly thrown from side to side. In general, rubber is not for country roads and high speeds, at least on heavy vehicles. This is REALLY DANGEROUS! In the city, this “product” is only suitable for driving in the style of pensioners. I put it after the winter in 2022 and realized after a couple of days that I can’t stand it anymore, it’s stupidly scary. For lovers of speed - I accelerated to 175 km / h, everything is fine, it slows down perfectly. But still - do not take it, what for such an extreme.

Pros
  • Excellent braking on both dry and wet roads. The car stops dead in its tracks even at near zero temperatures on a wet road. Holds aquaplaning well.
Cons
  • In a rut, the car throws so hard that you can fly into the next lane.
