Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
I like Michelin defenders. Quiet, good road pattern, excellent grip on snow and ice
Yeah, I got tired of this happening. Went to Michelin's, and I find them to be much better.
There’s no better feeling in the world than replacing Pirelli’s with Continental’s, just got rid of mine and threw on some conti purecontacts, cat rides so much smoother and no more worries about my tires.
One more vote for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Had them on the CX-5 for more than a year and they make me wish I had done it sooner.
I run the Pirellis on our MKT and it does fine year round. Decent grip in the twisties when it comes time for the lake trip, love those state routes. Never have any issues in the white stuff in the winter either. My brother had Conti Cross Climates on his GTI up until its last day and he loved them in the winter time though he did say they were a little lack luster in summer, they're AS tires after all.
In my opinion, they are the perfect tyre for all of the UK.
Replaced the OG Michelin all season tires around 46,000 miles.
We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.
Wife’s Audi came with Pirelli’s they seemed ok but we did switch to Michelin when we switched wheels. The Pirelli’s only had 5k miles and seemed to have an odd wear pattern. Much happier with the Michelins
I had a similar issue with PZero's and ENVE Foundation 45s. They were by far the hardest tires to mount I've experienced.
