Tires Pirelli or RIKEN
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.
Those tires have a foam strip glued to the inside of the tire to help reduce noise. My MYP came with Pirelli tires that had the foam and were very quiet.
the quietest and smoothest all-season sets I’ve tried are the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 both ride way softer than the Falkens and handle New England weather really well.
In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.
Got new Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus tires on my 2019 CX-5 Touring. The ride is quiet and smooth, but the steering feels loose now. I’m constantly correcting it, and it drifts left or right within seconds if I let go of the wheel.
I have a set of 20” scorpion MS but in 275 format because i like the extra width for alottle more braking improvement. The MS doesnt have 3 peak designation though so no good for europe winter.(im in UK so doesnt bother me)
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.
The P-Zeros on my 991.2 are WAY too loud.
I’ve replaced at least 7 Pirelli’s in 4 years on my 540. They bubble at the slightest hit. Some of them bubbled after two weeks. I know the roads are not the greatest here in Long Island, but come on. Never again.
