Tires Pirelli or NITTO
I have the night dragon on my rear with no complaints
Sticking with my Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3's on my stock 19" Scottsdales. More than enough for the bit of snow we get here, perfect for the winter temperature range we get and (trigger warning for those who claim snow tires or no tires), they're M+S rated so they are legal on mountain passes here if I decide to drive through them
Going with Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 XL. Haven't had much snow last few years but do get temps cold enough to need at least all-season tires.
I have the previous Pirelli Scorpion version on a CX5 and they have been quiet and handle like a dream. I have driven the f..k out of them across country three times, twisty back roads of many states and quite a few dirt roads. I have over 100k on this set and had to warranty replace one because of a puncture near the side.
Take it to Les Schwab or Discount Tires. I had a similar puncture like yours with same the Pirelli tire and Les Schwab patched it up for free for first time customer.
Like mine, I’m running Nitto NT555 G2s, they have around a 30k mileage run. As opposed to Michelins Defender 2 which have an 80k mileage the compound on most daily tires should be a little harder, lasting longer.
Switched from Toyos to the Pirelli Scorpion and instantly felt a difference. Much more quiet and smooth
I have 10k on the Pirellis. Haven’t checked remaining tread yet, but they’re decent. Only gripe is they track on grooved pavement.
This is unfortunately common in my experience with Nitto. I ran Trail Grapplers that were cracked like that with still probably 2/3 tread left. Next set were Ridge Grapplers, they did the same at about 1/2 tread.
Hated the pirellis. They barely last 2 seasons on my is300
Michelins always last 4 seasons
