Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP
I’ve been running the Pirelli Scorpion AS3s for about 15k miles and they’ve been great. Live in New England and they handle all seasons beautifully. They run smooth, quiet and they fit the racy feel of the CX5. Tread is also holding up very well.
I took my FWD hybrid through a lot of western Carolina roads during hurricane Helene on the stock scorpions and had no issues and never got stuck but saw a few jeeps get stuck on stuff I had no problem hopping over.
I decided to preference lower road noise benefit of this Pirelli tire. I have a 2021 CX-5 SIG. Already a quite vehicle while driving but now even more so. The ride is so smooth. Discount Tire only needed to install balancing weights on one of the wheels. Speaks to the quality of these tires. I replaced the original Toyo A36, at 30K miles. I am very happy with my choice.
Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. I did a review on them recently. Best tire I’ve had.
I have those Pirellis and have been very happy with them.
Scorps in the winter are fine, not great, and terrible at anything backcountry related that isn’t dry.
Pirelli are fine. I think they get bad rep but worked well even in light snow and rain.
My 23’ came with some cheap o’ Dunlops, I’m a little over 10k and they are worn severely unevenly. I plan on replacing them with Costco Michelin defender, or what ever their version is called.
They need to stop with those Dunlops, especially a performance variant. Fucking horrific tires
Pirellie tires are fun to drive if you want to drive hard and don't care about it being a harsh ride. But, they cost much more and last significantly less miles than other brands. Think 50% or less of their advertised mileage before they become too rough to use.
