Tires Pirelli or Giti
Swapped them out at about 30K kilometers. Tread still had a lot of life but holy man were they bad tires. Slipping all over the place, rough on the road, trash quality all around. Put on Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3s. Amazing difference - feels like im now driving the car it should have been this whole time. I love these new tires - quiet and comfortable as hell, absolutely no slipping wet or dry, and excellent cornering.
I have them on a non-turbo CX-5. I'm in San Diego, so a very different climate, and less than 10k on the tires now. But very good so far, I think quieter than the stock tires and good grip. Haven't noticed them wearing out quickly so far.
I have the Pirellis on my CX-5 and I have the Cross-Climates on another SUV. My driving is "spirited" and I haven't noticed a wear issue on either. The Pirellis corner like you're on rails, so it's a great driving experience.
Highly recommend the Pirelli’s, have em, love em. Very quiet ride especially compared to the Toyos.
For tires, I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 tires for my GLI and they are really good. They beat the DWS06 tires in Tirerack and Tyre Reviews testing.
I just took off my winter tires from 2017 that have had less than 10k km use during 6 winters. I put on a pair of pirelli sf3 on the front and my old 2020 primacy 4 on the back. The car, a toyota auris feels SO much lighter and happy to turn and so, so much quieter.
Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.
The Pirellis are super soft. It improves high speed handling on dry roads, but they wear out way faster. Mine did this exact same thing after about 30k miles.
A pirelli is the only tire that tried to kill me by flying off the bead on the rim and passing me on I-95. I also hated the Pirelli P zeros on both my Audis and was extremely excited when they wore out after 18k miles so I could replace them with Michelins.
The "high performance" Perelli's that came with my Mustang GT became useless lumps of rock hard rubber at any temperature below 40F, despite being all-seasons. It was bad enough to be a significant driving hazard even on completely dry tarmac. Quickly switched out for Michelins.
