Tires Pirelli or Kumho
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
I've put 75k km on the first set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires, also on SUV. No complains whatsoever.
I use Pirelli Weatheractives and they are an all weather tires (not all season, all weather) and work great and I'm in MB. Our winters are worse than yours and the tires were fine.
I replaced toyos at the same mileage with the same Pirellis. Huge difference in handling, I was shitting diamonds with Toyos on wet roads in heavy rain. They hydroplaned like crazy. I have put 65k on Pirellis by now and still have some life in them, probably another 10k. Great tires. And they were less noisy than toyos at least in the beginning.
I also bought the Pirelli Scorpions. Well done, great tires, so much better than the stock Toyos.
Have the same Pirelli's
They are exponentially better than those stock Toyo tires
I noticed considerably less road noise with the Scorpions compared with the Toyos that came with the car
The pirelli's came standard on my street triple when I bought it and their short lifespan pissed me off as a daily commuter. Excellent dry grip, bad wet grip.
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.
My 2021 factory pirelli tires lasted less than 15k miles and my tire guy said don’t order them again.
