Pirelli PZ4 vs Pirelli Scorpion ALL SEASON (23" tire discussion)
Im in a hunt for longer lasting tires for my XB7 with 23" wheels and tires. While the factory Pirelli PZ4 is a good tire, they only last 12-15k miles. I would like a tire that can 1) last longer, and 2) perform better in cold/wet conditions and can take a skii trip once or twice a year when there is snow/ice conditions (since we cant put any type of chains)
Does anyone have these all seasons? Any issues? I've highlighted the differences; most specs are the same, but one difference Im thinking can be a problem is the tread width Thanks |

What sizes? Front 275/35, Rear 315/30? Assuming that XB7 has a different configuration for 23" inch tires than my 24' 4.0 with M/Sport brakes and the only 23" options I can find are the PZ4 and a Yokohama option. Nothing all-season.

Cannot speak on the 23s, but I do use the 22” Scorpion All Seaons on Vossen HF5s as my winter set on the Alpina.
So far they have been all-around amazing. Bought the wheels/tires used from a forum member and have since used them for 3 winters with barely any signs of wear. I guesstimate that I’ve done about 12k miles so far. |

the reg X7 uses 10.5" rear rims, out of spec for a 325.

I have a set of D20s with winter tires for my XB7, but I've never considered tread width when fitting tires, just overall tire width.
I think the tread width difference is because the PZs are fairly slick at one end. |
