275/40 21 Tire Review Highlights

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season rated 91% while driving a Volvo XC90 B5
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
I fitted the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season's to my Volvo XC90 as Michelin CrossClimate's weren't available in the size. I live in rurally in Northeast Scotland, where we often get snow from November - March.
My last Volvo XC90 had 17" wheels, and I was able to put CrossClimates on it, but my driveway is at an angle, and as I reverse up it, I also need to turn. No vehicle has managed this when it's has 2+ inches of snow (including previous Skoda Superb 4x4 with the CC's). My current Volvo with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season has managed to reverse up the driveway each and every time.
The car and tires were able to easily travel at 40mph on the snow this morning, met another vehicle coming the opposite direction on a single lane road, I was able to easily stop without any skidding/sliding, reverse back to a passing place, and pull out again once the vehicle passed without issue. Other day, it also easily got up to 50mph on a snow covered single track hill road on the way home, with no loss of grip, also stopped well (was testing to see how good they were!).
The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season doesn't grip as well in wet weather no the bends, but to be fair the XC90 isn't designed for spirited driving, in the rain, around B road bends!

Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 SUV rated 89% while driving a BMW X5
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
Fantastic tire. I have had these on since new and have just gone past 15k kilometers. In terms of brands I have run a variety of Pirelli, Michelin and others on various SUV's in the past and these are the best all rounder I've had. Plenty of wear currently left on them and I will be buying another set when the time comes.
