Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS vs Michelin CrossClimate SUV

What are peoples opinions about the Scorpion Verde AS vs CrossClimate SUV?

255/55/19

I do mostly decent A roads but need to be able to navigate the odd field and farm track every couple of weeks.

Or any other recommendations?

The CrossClimate’s big selling point is a snowflake and mountain peak rating for proper snow use. Probably not relevant for what you’ve mentioned. I’d stick with the Pirelli, it’s a great all rounder Thumbs Up 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car

2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Yep another vote for the Scorpion AS - I've had good experiences with this tyre. Haven't used the Michelin so can't comment on that one.

I read some stuff on Verdes splitting in the middle so not so keen on them but CrossClimates seem to have very good feedback in all sizes

I would not write off that tyre based on a couple of posts - One case did not even look like an AS ttyre to me. I ran mine for 30k miles with no issues at all and they are OE on a number of LR vehicles

Can’t comment on the other but I’ve got a set of cross climates on and there fantastic in the wet and on dry roads and the best I’ve ever had on icy roads top choice in my opinion for a fantastic all year round choice Range Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

I’ve run several sets of the Pirelli’s without any issues to date Thumbs Up

With snow capability being important to me, I’d have planned on buying a set of the CrossClimates for next winter, if it hadn’t been for the severe lack of LR friendly sizes that they’re made in Sad 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Im getting a set of cross climates fitted this weekend to replace the worn Pirelli ATR's. Decided to try them for a change from AT's.
