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.
I use the new Pirelly Cinturato Winter 3 since like a week or so - they stick well, feels comfortable and silent on the highway too (at least until like 170 km/h, that is way over the speed limit here). More silent than the Michelin summer set.
My last car was a bmw M4 and it came with Pirelli p zeros. They were great in warm dry conditions but not great in the rain. They are summer tires so no grip at all under 40 degrees. They only lasted 12000 miles before they were under 4/32.
The sipes on the Pirelli tire are not full depth. I found that out when I had a set of AS2s. Great for initial testing and reviews, however, after they wear out, they basically become summer tires. Just something to consider.
This summer, I swapped out my Pirelli's at around 21k on a 2021 EX. I was starting to hydroplane with minimal water on the road. Although costly, I'm glad I did. The new ones make the ride so much better.
I dumped the stock Pirelli’s as they were basically falling apart. Huge chunks torn out of the curb bump the tires had. Switched to Continental and traction/handling is so much better (‘23 GT1)
