235/55 20 Tyre Review Highlights

Pirelli Scorpion Verde rated 73% while driving a Nissan
Driving on track for 38000 miles
I purchased a car with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55R20 tires installed on them. A couple of months later, I went on a trip with my family. On the way, I got caught in heavy rain. My surprise was strong when I experienced the effect of aquaplaning, it was impossible to go faster than 70 kilometers / hour (about 45 mph). The effect of collarity was also noticed when the tires "catch" the track. The mileage of the tires at the end of 2023 was less than 60,000 kilometers (38,000 miles) and there are already wear indicators that require replacement of these tires. This is simply unacceptable.

Bridgestone Dueler HL 33 rated 60% while driving a Lexus Rx450h
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
The only good point of those tyres is the wear. They last a long Time because they are hard AF.
The grip is not bad, but they are noisy unconfortable and they are lacking precision.

Those are definitely not the best of bridgestone.

Bridgestone Dueler HL 33 rated 56% while driving a Lexus RX350
Driving on mostly town for 30000 spirited miles
Tires that are not the best feel that they are unstable and slide even in the summer too hard and unpleasant

Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 rated 67% while driving a Lexus Rx450h
Driving on mostly town for 2000 average miles
Put these on in UK winter 2022/2023 as there was no other option and I was sceptical at first. However on our wintery roads and cold mornings I found these to do the job in suburban UK. For going to work, to the station, the school run and sitting in traffic, I have no problem. I did notice a massive improvement on these wintery mornings over my summer tyres (Bridgestone Duellers) which when on summer tyres my 2.5 tonne SUV did slide and lose grip in the same conditions. A lot of people do go for Crossclimate 2s but I prefer to have dedicated summer and winters on the car and yeah the Yokos do the job. I've not put them through a tough wintery challenge but I think part of the issues people have is down to how they drive. IMHO most people haven't got a clue how to drive in the winter. Would I but these again? If I had to then yes but I would have preferred more choice. Ultimately, they are better than summers or all seasons on the car and I want to be able to get around in the winter.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 71% while driving a Nissan Murano
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 easy going miles
Overall a very good All weather(all season tire) but would not recommend on temperatures below -10 C. Was slipping and sliding on the first day of snow but roads are pretty icy so it was a good test for me. Decided to put in my Yokohama ice guards for confidence on icy roads. For snowy road conditions I think the tire fairs well but it will not and cannot replace a true winter tire. If you are driving on mild winter conditions where there is not much black ice this tire is ok for use all year round. I would probably not get it again as the road noise and the significant increase on gas mileage was a huge factor for me. Wanted a tire that I can have all year round but unfortunately, Canadian winters will not let that happen.

Dunlop Sport Maxx 050 Plus rated 57% while driving a Lexus RX350
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Actually i m using sp sport maxx 050 instead of 050 plus. It was an OE tire for my 2016 lexus rx350 f sport. Well, i comment this tire is just above average after using for more than 5000km. It works fine when dry but really slippery when wet, not to mention how it performs when aquaplaning. Cant tell any on wear but i think it can last quite long for an average driver like me. All in all, if u sure urself is a mild driver then take it, otherwise go for some others.
Would not use again and probably go for goodyear or continental.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx rated 79% while driving a Jaguar XKR
Driving on mostly country roads for 25000 average miles
These are the standard tyres that came on my new Jaguar XKR when I bought it back in 2007. I was impressed with them back then and I have continued to buy them since. Just bought my 2nd set for the front after 50K miles, so this is the 3rd set on the front since purchasing.
What I'm really disappointed with is the availability and the price of these tyres. They have gone up nearly 40% in price since my last set and I really struggled to get some as they just don't seem to be easily available. I don't know if this is related to the oil prices or the fact that Dunlop are holding them back to make more profit.
Although I love the tyres I may have to look at an alternative manufacturer if this problem/price continues when my rears are due to be replaced in about 6 months.
