Tires Pirelli or Maxxis
I have the Pirelli on my 20 hybrid. I like them
I have Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 on my car and they are fantastic.
At 35,000 miles, I replaced the stock Dunlop tires on my 2023 Rav4 SE Hybrid with Pirelli Scorpion AS+3. Early days here, but after 500+ miles, the road noise is drastically improved. No apparent change in gas mileage. Could even be slightly better.
I’ve winter-driven my F82 a couple seasons now, and the SottoZero 3s are honestly solid they’re not as ice-grippy as the Michelin Alpin 4s you ran, but they hook well enough in packed snow and feel way more stable than you’d expect on a big-power RWD car. The only thing I noticed is the Bridgestones feel a bit firmer on cold pavement, but nothing crazy.
I have the Pirelli CInturato SF3 on two of my cars and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 on one of them, and the better tire by far is the Pirelli. On dry roads the Pirelli works better, it does it's job very well at any speed. Where the Pirellis really shine though is in the rain. They work very very well, I have not felt any aquaplaning, and they really work surprisingly better than any tires I have had before.
I’ve been running the Pirelli Scorpion AS3s for about 15k miles and they’ve been great. Live in New England and they handle all seasons beautifully. They run smooth, quiet and they fit the racy feel of the CX5. Tread is also holding up very well.
Scorps in the winter are fine, not great, and terrible at anything backcountry related that isn’t dry.
Pirelli are fine. I think they get bad rep but worked well even in light snow and rain.
Got a new wheel set with Pirelli P Zeros for the summer. They didn't make it to September Before the tread was gone.
I have had two flats and one additional tire that developed a sidewall bulge that had to be replaced, all over about 14 months, less than 20,000 miles. Its seems the slightest bump on it makes them go flat or damages them in some way. Not only that the tread has wore down ridiculously fast and the last original tire seems like it already has dry rot around the edges.
