Tires Pirelli or FEDERAL
I am a Mazda lover and replaced my CX5’s awful Toyos as fast as I could with what my Mazda3 has - Yokohamas. However, even the Yokohamas made the ride bouncy and rough for my daughter’s bad back. My husband changed out his BMW’s Michelin Pilot Sports for Pirellis and they are fantastic. We then changed the CX5s Yokohamas for Pirellis and the ride is so much better. I suggest Pirellis. They have lots of grip and are high quality.
I bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 tires this spring, and I absolutely love them, ESPECIALLY their performance in the rain. They are, without a doubt, the best performing tires I've ever driven in the rain in my nearly 40 years of driving.
Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 have been great for me: quiet, comfortable, good handling in most conditions. I've put 13K miles on them so far. I replaced the Toyos at 17K miles; in addition to terrible wet handling, they became rather noisy after 10K.
I put the pirelli scorpion as plus 3 on my 24 cx5 and i haven't hydroplaned since. They have great traction, wet or dry and even in the snow they perform well too.
No. I feel the tires overall have been holding up pretty well. Much better than Pirelli. There will always be events that just kills the tires and Greece is one of those events.
Eu sunt contraexemplu pentru pirelli. am cinturato sf2 pe 17", nu am nicio problema, se descurca excelent de peste un an.
Chinese snow tires are hit or miss. I had a set of federals for a short while that handled snow great for what they were.
I’ve got Scorpions on my X5 and they’re O K.. but don’t have a super aggressive tread and I think the weathepeaks will be better in the snow. Plus the Scorpions haven’t been wearing great. I’ve got 30k on them and I don’t see them making it to the 60k warranty
I’ve had mine for 12 months and 4 nails = 3 tire patching and 1 replacement. Unreal. I’ve had 12 other cars and maybe 1 other bolt in a regular tire and 1 flat. My fiance says it’s these tires- they are susceptible to this!!!! It’s horrible!
I'm getting tired of the tires on my GS. They're far from worn (10k miles, P7 A/S 3 Plus, pretty much still full tread), but are terrible in the rain. Up until recently, it was a sort of fun kind of terrible (easy oversteer, 4 wheel drifts, etc.), but yesterday was sketchy understeer at way too low of a speed. I didn't like that. I imagine emergency braking is equally awful. I don't want to find out.
