Tires Pirelli or OEM BMW
I have a 24 ecoboost awd fx4. I was getting about 28 with the stock tires. I upgraded to 235 65 17 all Terrain tires and it has dropped to 25. I don't mind the trade off as these tires are worlds better than those stock Pirelli Scorpions.
I've liked the pirelli scorpion as3+ in mn. Plenty of salt on the roads and plowed fairly well to not need snow tires in my opinion.
Just put pirelli Scorpio as3+ on my wife's pilot. Day 1 took the kiddo to soccer in freezing rain and 40 mph winds . They handled great, no slipping.
Pirelli cinturato velo..8000km on my gravel revolt and had just one puncture because of a needle. If not for sucking on sand they are probably the best endurance tyres i know.
I opted for Pirelli scorpion westheractive for my cx5 from tire rack. I liked the price of them and reviews are high.
I have 24k miles on my LE R1T and it’s predominantly a family hauler, pavement princess, whatever other term you want to use to say 23.5k of those miles have been on pavement. When I first got the truck it was sooooo quiet. But I recently drove my wife’s GLE63s (not a quiet car) and I was floored by how quiet the cabin was!! The noise of these Pirelli Scorpions slowly crept up on me. I didn’t appreciate how bad it had become until I spent time in a different car. It took me almost 4yrs and 24k miles to get to the point of complaint, so I’m not opposed to buying the same thing again.
My AWD Volvo sedan came with Pirelli All Season tires. Even have the official VO on the sidewall : made just for Volvo.
I can vouch for the author's post. I work at a Hyundai dealership We've been having nothing but problems with Pirelli tires on these new Santa fes and Palisades.... Some will fail after 3,000 km some will fail after 10,000 km all with the same symptoms like the OP post bubbling sidewalls No there was no impact no damage done to rim nothing We've even had instances where these tires have been separating from the inside out the sound depth and foam will be losing its glue on the inside of the tire and come loose while driving cause some massive vibrations
Apparently there are Balancing issues with Pirelli tires. I had Pirelli Scorpions and could never get them right with 3 tire shops.
I have been looking for replacements for the awful Pirellis (on 22s). I’m on my second set - and the rain we’ve have in New England would get the Rivian hydroplaning where I’d never had that issue with my old Lexus GX with Michelin’s.
