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.
Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.
Switched from Toyos to the Pirelli Scorpion and instantly felt a difference. Much more quiet and smooth
Pirelli Scorpion AS3 is what I got after the toros and they did not disappoint
I've had these for four summer seasons on my GSW (17" version) and about 15k miles total. Very grippy. They were great until this past summer, and generally quiet, but one developed a defect whereby it's making a loud rhythmic thumping noise at low speed.
I had a similar issue with PZero's and ENVE Foundation 45s. They were by far the hardest tires to mount I've experienced.
Mine went on pretty easy, but they are out of balance by a metric fuck ton. I've had to take them off and rotate them around, just so they wobble "less".
