Tires Hankook or Pirelli
With about 28,000 miles on my 2022 SEL AWD, it was time to replace the the Michelin's. I picked the Ions because it seemed like Hankook did their homework in terms of designing a tire with range and longevity considerations. Initial thoughts:
-VERY QUIET. These are somehow substantially quieter than the OEM wheels. Noise from bumps and rough roads are somehow soaked up as well. I'm impressed.
-Smooth and planted. Rolling on these at moderate speeds feels like floating on a cloud. Steering and acceleration/braking felt great too, no issues feeling like there's no grip.
-Didn't have too much rain experience, but it seemed to handle wet conditions fine, about the same as OEM.
-One con I noticed: These have a foam lining on the inside.
I've had Pirelli Scorpion plus all season 15 years ago on my old Nissan Sentra and it did a great job for 50k miles. Right now, i have Pirelli Scorpion AT plus and it does a great job so far in all weather with my Lexus GX460. I have good experience so far with Pirelli compared to other brands.
If you only drive on snow a handful of days a year, I'd get the Pirellis, they'll be better than the other two most of time.
Depois de muita pesquisa em relação qualidade preço escolhi os Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125.
Go with the hankooks, they wear like iron.
If you are new to tracking and do end up heat cycling them out, they are super consistent, which is way better to learn from.
I put the scorpions on my wife’s 21 cx9. And they are amazing. Very smooth and quiet.
+1 to the pirelli p zero tlr rs. I use them with a latex tube and it’s really smooth and my bike feels really grounded in fast corners
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.
I'm new to this having zero experience with them before 2023 when I bought a new car that game on p7 all season run flats. These are the scariest tires I've driven on in my life. I swapped mine out immediately for some continental dws 206 after one night driving home in some rain, having to go 40 mph in the right lane with my hazard lights on because at 45 I would hydroplane and have no control. How they legally got away marking those as all season is beyond me.
Their summer tires are not guaranteed- I had a set of rears that I paid over $800 after 700 miles they had major uneven wear and alignment was spot on. I called sent pics and they said we don’t guarantee those tires - p-zero’s.
