Does all point to this being a summer tyre albeit a high performance one!

Anyone have some detailed information about the Michelin tyre? Are they summer or all weather? My searches on here have returned conflicting information . . .

Are they Latitude Sport? i.e a Summer performance tyre?

Interesting - the Scorpion Verde is an Eco tyre - lower rolling resistance and weight, interesting video on Pirelli's web site: Pirelli - Scorpion Verde page

My 20" wheeled Dynamic has Conti UHP so that sounds like the default. Definitely not a winter or m&s rated tyre.

Would swap for Winter tyre if you need it where you are as they'll not be great in snow or cold climates.

Scorpion Verde has a good write-up

ENERGY™ EFFICIENT:
Reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

CLEAN AIR:
Made from eco-compatible materials that minimise environmental impact, both at the production stage and throughout the life of the tyre.

HIGH MILEAGE:
Longer lasting tyre that maintains high levels of performance and safety.

LOW NOISE:
Already complies with the 2012 EU Regulation on the reduction of noise, resulting in improved driving comfort.

The Scorpion Ice and Snow Option looks a good choice for the winter wheels.

Designed for winter use, this tyre stands out for the excellent handling and supreme driving comfort it provides. When driven on road it ensures excellent grip and low noise levels at low temperatures, even through water or on snow.

Characterised by an elegant tread pattern with an asymmetric design, the wide longitudinal grooves and angled tread blocks ensure the most demanding driver remains in full control, even in the most difficult weather conditions.

Safety, comfort and looks combine to make Scorpion Ice & Snow a tyre that will enhance a vehicle, making it ideal for even the most aggressive style conversions.
