Tires Hankook or Pirelli
Whoever told you this yarn is full of shit. I had the CC2s on for over two years, just replaced them with Pirelli Weather Actives. They're both great tires for the RAV and absolutely fit.
I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.
I’ve had both and the biggest difference I saw was the range hit. I was the sole driver so no difference in driving style - MPS AS4’s were 10% worse. Loved them but would go with the Hankooks were I to do it again.
The Hankooks are slightly softer absorbing a smidge more of the road. Noise difference between the 2 isn't noticeable at all. The Hankooks are slightly more efficient, lifetime on the Michelins is 306whm and the Hankooks are 297whm(tracked via TeslaMate).
I have Pirelli Scorpion (Weatheractive) tires on my Highlander and love them, but you don’t really need snow rated tires in Florida.
I switched to Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on our 17 Touareg, night and day from stock. They’re expensive, but worth it.
So my OEM Hankook tires, inflated normally to 40psi were wearing down on the edges of the tire. The look of the tire is amazing. Completely changes the look of the truck. The tires didn’t have any more appreciable noise - I listened intently at 40 mph and might have heard a bit more
Every time this gets shared, I feel obliged to say that the Superhard tyre was never brought to a race weekend. Makes you wonder why they developed that tyre in the first place.
Well pirelli p4's where the lowest grip tires in rain and snow I've ever used even though they are 'all season'. Fwd cars should not do a 360 on snow at less than 15mph in a gentle turn. Never had that issue with any other brand of all seasons even in worse driving conditions.
My alfa came with pirellis p zeros, changing to Michelin ps4s was like discovering a completely different car. The previous owner of my AMG put some Pirelli P zeros on it for whatever reason. Car is awd but the tires can't handle a simple pull from a light.
