In most cases, I buy Michelin. My best wearing tires are Pirelli P4s, but I can't find the size I need for my current car.
Big brands like those are all fine for a daily driver crossover.
My personal favourites to mount are Bridgestone blizzaks, and have had wonderful results on my dad's rwd BMW E46 with Pirelli ice zero fr.
Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.
Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….
Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice
I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.
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.
In a year and a half of having these tires I’ve had 3 flats and 1 slow leak on the sidewall of a a tire… needless to say, I’ll never get kumho’s ever again
I hated the Pirellis on my M3P, and only got ~4500 miles on the rear due to an absolute sh*t alignment from the factory. Plus there is no treadwear warranty on the Pirelli. Ferrari forums will attest that these tires are generally horrible on life. Swapped the rears for Michelin PS4 summer tires (they also have an EV version with the foam to help with noise, and have a treadwear warranty).
