Tires Pirelli or Nexen
Pirelli scorpion AS/3. Quieter, softer and better handling than original shit Toyo’s. Source: 5k miles on them so far.
Got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 from DiscountTire. 40min for the whole thing and wow never knew my car can drive so smooth. I can feel that it’s grippy as well.
So happy with them thus far. On regular drives, they're so much quieter and feel less harsh than the stock Hankooks. In the canyons, I'm really happy with the handling.
Different car now but I have Nexen NBlue 4Season 2 on my 2012 xB. South Pass, WY was covered in snow last night and I couldn't for the life of me get those tires to slip.
I have been impressed with the Pirelli Scorpio and Sam's Club most of the time have them on sale. I don't have a Mazda yet but on my Atlas they have been better than the OEM Khumo and the previous set of Michelin I had. Smooth ride, quiet and great in wet and snowy conditions.
We have ran the Nexen Winspike and Nexen Winguard series winter tires on a few vehicles in Dakota winters, which can be extremely harsh... Saying they are "comparable quality" to Hakka's is a stretch... but they are decent winter tires and Nexen has one of the best warranties in the tire industry.
Scorps in the winter are fine, not great, and terrible at anything backcountry related that isn’t dry.
For future viewers, I purchased Nexans for my 2018 cruze. They have been on for less than 20k miles and are almost bald already.
I got Nexen N5000 225 60 r18. It's slippery on wet surface (I can feel it especially on solid paint lines in the middle of the road) Got it 2 years now, and will never buy nexen again.
Got a new wheel set with Pirelli P Zeros for the summer. They didn't make it to September Before the tread was gone.
