Tires Pirelli or Cooper
I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.
The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.
The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.
From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].
Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.
Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.
I’m running Cooper ST/Maxx and they’re fucking incredible and look aggressive as fuck. Vancouver got shit on with a ton of snow and ice and I felt like the most stable vehicle on the road during the initial snowmageddon. I haven’t lost traction once all week. Strongly recommend.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
Dropped less than 10% when we got rid of the Nexens and put on Coopers All Terrain tyres. We did this mostly because we live on dirt roads and had four punctures in four months with the Nexus. The range drop is negligible and the car handles so much better on dirt and sealed roads.
My experience with Pirellis in the past, great wear and performance but horribly noisy after about 20,000 miles, to the point I replaced a set on my old Touareg long before they needed it because they were so annoying.
The stock Pirellis are trash, and the low profile is why they keep bubbling up.
Bought 4 Cooper Discoverer A/T tires through walmart, had them installed at firestone roughly a year ago. Driven the truck roughly 4,000 miles and every tire has bulges in several places.
