Tires Pirelli or OEM Volkswagen
Put the Pirellis on my 2018 CX5 last year and they feel better than the stock Toyos. Went with them over the cross climate bc I live in SoCal where it’s mostly sunny and definitely no snow. I feel like it’s quieter too and they’ve been holding up well, I commute about 40 miles per day.
Replaced my Dunlop after 20k with PIRELLI SCORPION WEATHERACTIVE. Highly rated on tire rack for RAV4s
No comparison with the P Zero AS Plus 3. It’s in a completely different class than that Nexen, which is a cheap version made solely for a large distributor.
Swapped them out at about 30K kilometers. Tread still had a lot of life but holy man were they bad tires. Slipping all over the place, rough on the road, trash quality all around. Put on Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3s. Amazing difference - feels like im now driving the car it should have been this whole time. I love these new tires - quiet and comfortable as hell, absolutely no slipping wet or dry, and excellent cornering.
I have them on a non-turbo CX-5. I'm in San Diego, so a very different climate, and less than 10k on the tires now. But very good so far, I think quieter than the stock tires and good grip. Haven't noticed them wearing out quickly so far.
I have the Pirellis on my CX-5 and I have the Cross-Climates on another SUV. My driving is "spirited" and I haven't noticed a wear issue on either. The Pirellis corner like you're on rails, so it's a great driving experience.
Highly recommend the Pirelli’s, have em, love em. Very quiet ride especially compared to the Toyos.
Pirelli are suppose to be good performance tires but from my past personal experience being soft they don’t last long. Unless you are racing on every red light, switch.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
They have great grip, but they have insane pricing and terrible wear. The stock pirellis on my SRT GC lasted only 13k miles. I get 30k+ from everything else I put on it. The pirelli cost $600 each. My current nittos were under $300 each.
