Pirelli Scorpion STR

Came as OE on my XC70 and the 1st set lasted 48K miles before I changed them for the first time and they still had 3mm tread. Second set lasted 40k on more spirited m/way use. Subsequent sets have been 40K+ no problem. I have found them more than adequate on my car in all weathers. In snow/ice they have excellent traction and surefootedness. Last year in heavy snow was able to tow another car up a hill with no problem.

Great all round tyre, has never let me down and is good for grip and wear.

The wore really quickly despite checking pressures weekly religiously. Very disappointed with grip under heavy breaking in wet conditions. Good grip in ice and snow at low speed.

Bought to replace the excellent, but obsolete, Scorpion ST tyres. In general driving there is not much to choose between the ST and the STR except the wear. STs lasted for 35k miles, STRs lasted for 14k miles. Disappointed.

Bought to replace Pirelli Scorpion ST in the same size, which were brilliant tyres on road, pretty good off it and gave 60k miles before needing replacement. The STR was a huge (and expensive) disappointment after the ST. Dry grip about the same as the ST, wet grip definitely worse, useless off road and in snow and lasted 28k before needing replacement. The only positive thing I can say is that they were slightly quieter than the STs. Would not recommend and will not be buying again.

Very good tough tyre excellent in the wet or dry make sure you get the STR's not the STR A there is a distinct difference in tread pattern and so grip in snow

Instant effect from the change to these tyres (Fulda Road tryes before). Tried to get Michelin Synchrome but they are no longer made. Found these tyres tyres to be even better and very well priced at ?70 each from Black Circles.
Use some McGuerriers tyre shine and they look wicked too.

They are road biased tyres but they can go off road too ( a bit).

Excellent tyre.
Not sure about wear yet as only had them on for a 1000 miles and they are still nobbly.

Exceptional in snow and ice condition they really are all weather tyres a great benefit to a bmw who's traction in snowy conditions can be challenging to say the least over 8000 miles I have lost 2mm of tread. only issue is the price had to replace one tyre at a cost of ?200 pound due to screw damage to the side wall
