Tires Pirelli or Continental
The Pirellis, at this pressure, are quite smooth and free rolling. But the weight is never forgotten, and getting to speed takes effort. The reflective sides are bright and clear, and lend a bit of comfort to riding in low-light mornings/evenings.
Thus far, no punctures. At 1500km, though, the rear's showing its wear (front looks nice still) and flattened off at the centre of the tread.
Traction-wise, I've had no concerns. Both: rain/shine they've given me no pause or worry. Riding on various surfaces: asphalt, concrete, gravel, dirt, packed limestone - they seem to just work well.
Continental VikingContact 7s are my recommendation. I get an average of 4m of snow, where I live, every winter, and these tires have never let me down. And they're incredibly refined at highway speeds.
I run 18” on my ‘24. Pirelli Sottozero 3 on Pretoria wheels. We have Continental VikingContact on our ‘24 Alltrack. Both great set of winter wheels for Canadian winters.
I had 225/40 R18 on mine last Winter and had no issues with it. Tires were Conti's WinterContact TS870. I was very happy with those tires. We got some pretty sewere snow last year and my R pushed through like nothing.

We got conti vikingcontact 7. They've been fantastic. They were much cheaper than the Michelin's which I hear mixed reviews of.
No change in noise vs stock tires, feel like more lateral grip. We average only 1kwh/100km more on the winters vs all seasons (but it was also much colder when they were on for so I don't think they lost much efficiency).
not super quiet, but not bad, great handling, I have about 25,000 miles on my wifes jeep and i am shopping for new tires. I would buy the same tires at a good price.
1600 miles later after a TN road trip and I love these Contis. Quiet, excellent rain performance and good in the curves. We had two emergency stops and these things stuck like glue.
The pirelli's came standard on my street triple when I bought it and their short lifespan pissed me off as a daily commuter. Excellent dry grip, bad wet grip.
I just replaced the stock Firestone Destination LE 2's on my 2019 Ridgeline AWD after 48,000 miles... I've put about 800 miles on this new set and I'm bummed. They are quiet and handle fine, but it seems like I feel every imperfection in the road and it seems overly harsh over rough roads.
