Pirelli Scorpion Strada (Verde) A/S? Reviews or recommendations?

[Leete18]

Initial details (May not be relevant)...
2015 Nissan Rogue S FWD 2.5L
Taken to the local dealership for 65K miles, on 81K+ and doing my own work from here on out (since I'm sure I'm well past warranty, etc).

I drive very methodically and don't really strain the vehicle, had Kumho Solus KL21 come stock with the vehicle. Got 79.4K miles out of them, and would have been more had the dealership actually rotated my tires as often as I asked (they chose not to and the front tires eventually wore faster so I replaced all of them).

-- Question starts here --
Recently bought Pirelli Scorpion Strada A/S (Exclusive branded for discount tire, but close enough to Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S as I've been told). Anyone have any experience with these tires and their longevity? Do they hold up in winter fairly well? Any maintenance recommendations or results from the similar Verdes on a vehicle in my class? Open to all information... Planning on rotating every 6K as discount tire will offer that for the life of the tires. Live in lower Michigan and travel all around snowy winters.

We had the Verde's installed on my daughter's Rav4 about a yr. ago. Quality tire. I have the P4 Plus' on my VW Golf. I would have no hesitation buying Pirelli again. (I'm sorry I have very limited driving time w/the Rav4 to give you detailed feedback. BUT...if there was again wrong w/them I'm sure my daughter would let me know!) It's also great you have the backing of DT if there's a problem and the free rotations a big +. Let us know you're experience w/them in the future.

Hello, thanks for the reply! I drive about 3K miles per month, so I will keep you updated every few months after a rotation barring any random events. Hopefully, every few months.

Just got an alignment, I was not out on a majority of specs in the first place. My previous tire wear indicated positive camber but I'm running where I should be around -1.34 to -1.49 camber on R and L... Why would I have had such unusual wear on my previous tires? Toe is nearly zero, everything else is within the specs. Outer tire wear was much deeper than inner. I did a fair amount of turning at high speed due to exit ramps and highway curves... Would that be a likely cause of outer tire wear after 80k miles and bad/lack of rotations by the dealership?

You got way more miles on those Kumho tires than others do.

Don't dwell on it and move on-enjoy the new tires.

Longevity: I've had the Scorpion Stradas from Discount Tire on for about 33k miles on my 2017 Sienna LE. OEM size is 235/60R17, but I went with 235/65R17 (a little more cushion). Put them on at 47,xxx miles and is at 80k miles now. The tires started out at 12/32" and are at 5/32" now. I rotate every 5-7k miles. Car alignment is straight. The set of tires before these Stradas were Michelin Premier LTX's in 235/65R17 also. The Michelins were lighter (29 lbs. vs. 37 lbs.), but weren't as responsive as the Stradas when cornering or turning...felt mushy (the Michelins...didn't matter what tire psi I put them at). Hard to gauge traction in dry or wet weather b/c the tires were so different in weight. I remember spinning the Michelins quite a few times turning from a stop, but doesn't happen so much with the Pirelli's; van works harder to get the Pirelli's moving...noticeable difference. Water evacuation is hard to gauge. I live in Houston, TX where it rains often enough and haven't experienced any hydro planning on both tires.
Winter: Houston only gets in the 30's for approximately 2 weeks out of the year, so I can't say about winter conditions.
Hope it helps.
