Tires Pirelli or LANDSAIL
Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires
Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.
Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.
I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.
I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.
My pirellis have 38k on them.
I have been mostly happy with the OEM Pirelli Scorpion A/T tires, and I would agree with you about the acoustics. Something strange I have experienced with the Pirelli Scorpion tires is that they have continued to get quieter after my second tire rotation. Also, with 30,000 miles on them, they do not have the same grip as new, and they break free more easily under full acceleration.
Stay away. I had to replace their P-Zero tires at 9700 miles. Complete garbage.
I wouldn't buy them. I bought a set of pirelli's, they were out of round, next set I got, 2 had a shifted belt. Got those replaced, now I have 4 scorpions that cause small vibrations. Had them balanced 3 times, just won't go away.
I'd highly recommend staying away from them. Everyone I've met who has tried them, including myself, has nothing good to say.
My tires were supposed to last 50k miles and only lasted 16k.
