I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.
Im loving Pirelli All Weather. Winter changeover not needed.
I just added a set of Pirelli Scorpions and my cx-5 is an absolute beast! The handling improves and once the tires are warmed you feel like you can fly.
Pirelli P7s has been a favorite, and I've been running Vredestein on another car for nearly two years without any complaints.
I got Pirelli from discount tire on special for about 500. They do great in the rain
Pirelli P4 Plus tires once you drive on them you'll so miss them..
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 have been mostly happy with the OEM Pirelli Scorpion A/T tires, and I would agree with you about the acoustics. Something strange I have experienced with the Pirelli Scorpion tires is that they have continued to get quieter after my second tire rotation. Also, with 30,000 miles on them, they do not have the same grip as new, and they break free more easily under full acceleration.
Michelin's. You already know the Pirelli's don't last. The next set won't be any better (speaking from experience).
Just got the Michelins put on this morning. I got 32,000 on the Pirelli’s and could have gotten a few more had I been better at rotating, no complaints on wear but they suuuuuuck in snow.
