Tires Pirelli or BFGoodrich
I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.
As mentioned the old tires were shot with 2016 date stamps and cracks all over. Replaced with a set of Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus tires aka the cheapest legit all-season tire ($99/ea). Car drives much better now and will be much safer once the rains return.
I got the P Zero AS+ and they've been nothing but amazing so far. I'm in Canada as well.
I’m going against the grain here and saying they’re great tires. I had a set of p4 all seasons on my wife’s car and they’ve lasted 40,000 miles and all sorts of weather extremes.
Pirellis are the best tires for my 98 camry. Through the years, I've bought Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Michelin tires for my black beauty. Pirellis are by far the quietest and nicest riding tires I've ever had on the car.
If you do a lot of highway miles, get the P4's I've had these on a 13 civic and after 60k miles they had 7/32nd left on the tread when I traded the car in.
I've always run Michelin and love them. Needed new tires for a long trip and my dealer didn't have 4 of em so I went with Perelli. Saved about $500 and really liked the ride. On my second set of Perellis now and have no complaints.
They are good tires. They are also completely over-rated, and over-priced.
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.
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.
