Tires Pirelli or Sailun
I got Pirelli from discount tire on special for about 500. They do great in the rain
Pirelli P4 Plus tires once you drive on them you'll so miss them..
I am a Mazda lover and replaced my CX5’s awful Toyos as fast as I could with what my Mazda3 has - Yokohamas. However, even the Yokohamas made the ride bouncy and rough for my daughter’s bad back. My husband changed out his BMW’s Michelin Pilot Sports for Pirellis and they are fantastic. We then changed the CX5s Yokohamas for Pirellis and the ride is so much better. I suggest Pirellis. They have lots of grip and are high quality.
I bought a set of Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 tires this spring, and I absolutely love them, ESPECIALLY their performance in the rain. They are, without a doubt, the best performing tires I've ever driven in the rain in my nearly 40 years of driving.
Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 have been great for me: quiet, comfortable, good handling in most conditions. I've put 13K miles on them so far. I replaced the Toyos at 17K miles; in addition to terrible wet handling, they became rather noisy after 10K.
I put the pirelli scorpion as plus 3 on my 24 cx5 and i haven't hydroplaned since. They have great traction, wet or dry and even in the snow they perform well too.
Sailun is a legit tire manufacturer. You get what you pay, but should be safe for normal operation. I changed from Michelin PS4S (worn out at 29k mile) to Sailun, clearly feel handling is worse above 80 mph.
Old school big Pirellis
Pirelli's are junk, id switch to some Michelins.
Mine came from Berlin with PZeros (my M3LR had Pilot sports 4S´es) liked the michelin much more, Pzero is a garbage tire.
But it is decent, not a lot of roadnoise, so that is key.
