Tires Pirelli or GT Radial
I just changed mine out for the Pirelli Scorpions somebody else mentioned, and they’re great.
On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).
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..
Wife’s Audi came with Pirelli’s they seemed ok but we did switch to Michelin when we switched wheels. The Pirelli’s only had 5k miles and seemed to have an odd wear pattern. Much happier with the Michelins
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.
