We had two incidents on the freeway where a nail punctured the tires and had to buy new tires and went with Pirelli. After switching the tires we noticed a huge improvement in handling and noise. Toyo tires are very loud when driving especially on the freeway.
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.
I’ve got the wildpeak trails on my ‘17 2.5 and love them.
The grip improvement for dirt, mud and snow is very very noticeable. I was at 70-75% tread left after 14k miles. I think 45-50k miles on them is very possible.
I did change the tire out when I got it to Falken Wildpeak A/T’s, so the mileage could be better with different tires. As far as snow and mountain roads, the car work’s amazing.
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.
Nah I had some crazy high mileage rated pirellis on my mazda and didn't find them to last any longer than other brands 60k tires. Just my experience.
Had the Pirelli P Zero on my 2014 GTI when I originally bought it, and they were probably one of the worst tires I've had the displeasure of experiencing (esp. in the winter).
I have the standard Scorpions (10+ year old product at this point) on my Tig and they are trash. Loud as hell and don't wear well. Don't balance all that great either.
