Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
I had the same problem - it was a Pirelli P zero that balanced ok but seemed to have a construction problem. I could move the vibration around by rotating tires. New tires cured the problem - perfect balance at 80mph now.
Had a blow out of my 21inch front right tire...Truck handled amazingly well with only 3 tires while crossing 2 rumble strips and 6 lanes of traffic decelerating from 75mph while navigating/negotiating the 6 lanes crossing to clear the roadway.
Saw the CC2s recommended which are solid. Planning on swapping my stocks out personally for GY Workhorses here in a week or two
Decided to upgrade the stock Toyo A36s on my 21 CE Turbo AWD at 14k miles. The Toyos weren't great when new but they worked and even did pretty well in the snow last winter. They wore really quickly though and only had about 4/32nds left when I went for annual inspection a couple of weeks ago. I did some research and narrowed replacements down to either Michelin CC2s or the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive. The WeatherActive is pretty new and there weren't many reviews available and even less that had any snow testing so I wanted to share my brief experience. They feel great. Really grippy and stable on dry roads and so much better at absorbing bumps and general road noise. I'm sure a lot of this is just new vs old tires but it still makes the CX5 feel great. Also got a few inches of snow overnight and the tires are solid in the snow. Acceleration, turning, and braking are all almost as good as on dry roads with the old tires. I'd highly recommend considering these if you're looking for new tires. They're generally going to be a bit less than the CC2s but offer very similar specs and performance. And the 235 55 size looks awesome on the CX5. Would definitely recommend something like this as opposed to an AT tire if you want a more sporty look without sacrificing the CX5s great driving characteristics.
Pirelli run flats for the win I’ve absolutely sent it with these tires and they grip amazingly
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.
My experience with Pirellis in the past, great wear and performance but horribly noisy after about 20,000 miles, to the point I replaced a set on my old Touareg long before they needed it because they were so annoying.
Stock Goodyear tires on our 2020 MYLR were dead before 12,000 miles. Been buying tires from DiscountTire ever since.
I just replaced the stock Firestone Destination LE 2's on my 2019 Ridgeline AWD after 48,000 miles... I've put about 800 miles on this new set and I'm bummed. They are quiet and handle fine, but it seems like I feel every imperfection in the road and it seems overly harsh over rough roads.
