There’s no better feeling in the world than replacing Pirelli’s with Continental’s, just got rid of mine and threw on some conti purecontacts, cat rides so much smoother and no more worries about my tires.
One more vote for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Had them on the CX-5 for more than a year and they make me wish I had done it sooner.
I run the Pirellis on our MKT and it does fine year round. Decent grip in the twisties when it comes time for the lake trip, love those state routes. Never have any issues in the white stuff in the winter either. My brother had Conti Cross Climates on his GTI up until its last day and he loved them in the winter time though he did say they were a little lack luster in summer, they're AS tires after all.
We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.
I replaced the Goodyears with Pirelli WeatherActive, also Northeast.
I've seen similar sentiments online about Pirelli that didn't really match my experience. Most of my favorite driving sets of tires have been Pirellis. Not necessarily best by the numbers, but by how they felt on some of my more communicative cars on the road.
Depends on the model. I’ve had some great experience with Pirelli Scorpions and the P Zero. Usually not my brand of choice but if nothing is available and they are I’ll run them. Definitely more of a Michelin PS2/C type for my sport cars though. I’m about 3k miles into a set of PZero 21” on my LR Discovery. They handle the weight of the vehicle and road conditions really nice, so far have no complaints.
My subjective experience is that GP 5000 S TR 28 feel great and are light but they're not very durable. I feel like my Pirelli Pro Race TLR 28 last twice as long but feel a tad heavier.
Perillis are JUNK! Have had them on several cars; and refuse to put them on my Range Rover.
I absolutely hate Pirelli tires. The one time I had them on my 2013 Hatch the car didn’t feel right. It felt like it was way too slick in the rain and turns felt sluggish.
