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.

XB7 has wider rear rims, 11" so they do 285/35/23 and 325/30/23.

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

Had Scorpion All Seasons on a 2019 G05 X5 50i M-Sport and they were very good.

So no one has these all seasons on their 23" wheels?

Any wheel and tire gurus on here know if the tread width will be an issue?

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.
