Bought Weatherpeaks instead of CC2 for our Crosstrek, no difference in MPG. They're quieter than the stock Falkens.
Snow traction isn't as good as dedicated winter tires but it's good enough for the winters around here.
Just slapped some Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4’s and they are honestly not too bad. Got them about 3 weeks ago, been about 1,500 miles. I shall see how the outer edges fair on these!
Rain was heavy and wind was high in southern Indiana today. Really good grip on the rain, and good stopping distance as well. Had someone panic brake for a branch falling and the car slowed down faster than theirs did!
Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.
Now I have Uniroyal Rainsport 5 and they also have amazing grip, but the sidewall could be a little bit stiffer for my liking.
Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.
Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD
Original Tires: Michelin Primacy
Miles of original tires: 58,300
New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2
Miles on new tires: 100-200
Road Noise
Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.
Efficiency
N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.
Ride Quality
N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.
I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.
Falken Sincera SN250 A/S so far a good tire good grip dry and wet. Not too pricey only decent tire in a 14 in I could find.
If you need dedicated winter tires, best option is to buy a second set of rims and winter specific tires, Blizzaks are a personal fav of mine.
I used pzero tlrs all last year. Totally different rims to yours, and no tape on my rims which makes stuff easier. The last set I put on was the 2023 version from their new factory and one of them was quite a bit more difficult for whatever reason.
Honestly, the Pirelli Scorpions kinda suck. I just passed 20k on our Badlands and there is no way these tires will make it to 30k. Performance is also just mediocre.
