Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE
He got rid of the summers and replaced with some high-quality performance all-seasons (Pirelli PZero a/s3). The way the winter climate is going on the East coast, the logic for doing that (instead of proper summers and winters) is becoming a lot more compelling. So, nothing suspicious about that.
I'm using the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR, in 32mm, because it was top rated for puncture resistance in a tubeless tire. It's not as fast as the Conti GP 5000 S TR, and it may even cost more, but if you're looking for puncture resistance above all else, you should consider them.
Go for Pirelli if you want more durability, Longevity and easier mounting if tubeless.
I ride on Pirellli road 25c tires for years. I had finally replaced them last year. They ride nice and had good traction. I don't think the Conti is worth the money. They seem wear quicker.
I’ve been happy with the Pirelli’s easy to mount and good puncture protection while feeling fast.
I run the pirellis p zero 4s and love them comfortable and roll really well.
Opposite datapoint: I run Pirelli Race TL Rs 700x30s on my Gen 7 Madone (tubeless FWIW). Way more comfy than the OE 25s (R3) and faster.
Arivo feels like it would wear out in about a year of good use. My last bridgestone got to around 38k km (5years ++) of use. Im currently using bridgestone ecopia and personally i have no qualms with it
I had the same problem with the same tires (Pirelli Scorpion MX, 3 month old). Discount tiers did the patch for free as always.
The next day I got the low air pressure error in the tire again. It turned out that the tire had deflated by 4 psi.
We have 3 Prius vehicles. The 2019 has Bridgestone Ecopia tires that are very noisy. the 2020 has Goodyears that are very quiet and solid in rain. I cannot wait to wear out the Bridgestones and I believe them to be crap. No tire should create that much road noise on a sedan.
