Tires Pirelli or KENDA
Pirelli Scorpion AS3. They’re so quiet.
Today I had a 600 km trip in -6*C, half of the way I used chill mode, tried to keep constant speed 100 km/h (winter tires Sottozero 3, 18\u201d without aero) and I got 175Wh/km. After charging I switched to Normal and continued my trip: average consumption kept floating near 178, I switched to Chill and saw how it slowly decreased to 169Wh/km.
We replaced the OEM Bridgestone with Pirelli Scorpion A/S 3. They are very quiet and smooth riding. I can highly recommend them.
the two tires people keep circling back to are Michelin Defender 2 (for max longevity + quiet ride) and Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive (for folks who want legit wet/snow grip without going full winter tire). Both feel noticeably better than the OEM rubber Mazda ships these with less thump over expansion joints and far more planted in rain.
I took a mini ski vacation and on my way home last night it was snowing pretty hard. I picked up a '25 GLE 450e in June so this was my first real snow test with it. Since its a lease I'm not going to invest in winter tires and was curious how the 21" staggered Pirelli Scorpions Zero's would do. For an all-season tire it did all I wanted. I wasn't doing 70 but 40-50 mph was very comfortable. Visibility was bad for all of the 170mi ride home limiting what I was willing to do. The other plus I averaged 37mpg.
Actually enjoying the comfy sottozero 3s in traffic coming off my ecs02s but can definitely feel the wintertireyness and lack of traction and turn-in
I have 24k miles on my LE R1T and it’s predominantly a family hauler, pavement princess, whatever other term you want to use to say 23.5k of those miles have been on pavement. When I first got the truck it was sooooo quiet. But I recently drove my wife’s GLE63s (not a quiet car) and I was floored by how quiet the cabin was!! The noise of these Pirelli Scorpions slowly crept up on me. I didn’t appreciate how bad it had become until I spent time in a different car. It took me almost 4yrs and 24k miles to get to the point of complaint, so I’m not opposed to buying the same thing again.
I just put one of those tires on the front of my K1600 & it doesn't like speeds over 70 mph. It handles good at low speeds & in the rain, but I don't like it at all on the highway. Feels like rain grooves on any surface.
2 Tires have bulges and a 3rd has a gash! May as well replace them all 4 NOT with Pirellis. These tires are too fragile for my driving!
I'm having the same issue! 2 BUBBLES in my Pirelli's tires.. and a 3rd one has a gash.. The issue I think is that the tire is so shallow! the rims are also damaged from bumping curbs!
