Tires Pirelli or TIGAR
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.
No. I feel the tires overall have been holding up pretty well. Much better than Pirelli. There will always be events that just kills the tires and Greece is one of those events.
Eu sunt contraexemplu pentru pirelli. am cinturato sf2 pe 17", nu am nicio problema, se descurca excelent de peste un an.
The Bridgestones I think are cheaper but better in the wet in my experience
But the Pirellis in the dry grip like nothing else
Wife’s Audi came with Pirelli’s they seemed ok but we did switch to Michelin when we switched wheels. The Pirelli’s only had 5k miles and seemed to have an odd wear pattern. Much happier with the Michelins
Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
