Default Pirelli Scorpion Verde All seasons?

About to push the purchase button on these and realised there are more versions than I realised.

Those who have got the All season version are you running H speed rated ones as I cannot see V speed rated ones in All seasons only the normal Verde's which are summer tyres?

Many thanks

H still covers you up to 130mph. Do you need more than that? Winter tyres usually have lower speed ratings than summer ones so it makes sense for All Season tyres to follow a similar path.

it's all season though....so presumably like the rest of us, sunshine wants to hit 140mph on those private motorways in summer. Like the M69

Actually, since the top speed of our wagon is mostly around 130, I imagine H-rated should be fine for all of our needs....

Thanks yep my previous winters have had them much lower rated and sticker reminder me I was limited to 149mph with the winters on

Per my post though anyone who has these can you confirm you have the H rated ones or am I missing the original equivalent spec V rated tyres the car currently has?

All seasons does not equal to all weather, the latter being better when cold and snowy

Depends if they are snowflake marked. if they are then yes they are recognised as winter tyres

All weather tyres are a terminology from the US creeping in to confuse things further it seems

Having run winters and summers on my last car for 5 years I am comfortable with the definitions and differences thanks

Any Verde All season users please?!

I agree that "all weather" is an American'ism for "winter". I don't think you'll find any manufactures selling "all weather" and "winter" tyres in the same geographic location.

I have been running Verde all season for the last 22 k

They are very good for wet over the standard Eco stuff

Not sure on snow has we never had any

Very low wear rate would say they will last at least 45 thousand

Would recommend

Err, all weather is not winter tyre really.

I am running Pirelli Scorpion Zero which I have read quite a few positive reviews about. So far so good although I heard that Pirelli do not manufacture them anymore :/
Some shops still stock them though in 235-60-18 103V

Hi Sunshinetours
