Tires Pirelli or Vredestein
My stock tires of pirelli scorpion ms are fantastic but I have around 500 miles on the odometer. No complaints so far and seem quiet
Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.
I personally love the Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 tires. Great overall performance and a 70k mile warranty. I’ve put them (and the AS 2) on 2 of my trucks (07 F150 King Ranch and 20 RAM 1500 Limited) , Chevy Cruze LTZ and Equinox LT AWD.
Got some for the SQ5. Great performance in the snow, while still pretty good on dry pavement. A bit prone to aqua planning on heavy rain days. I do find them a bit noisy on dry pavement after a couple seasons though, but that could be a snow tire thing.
I have them on my SQ5. Agree with all the other comments, they’re excellent winter tires.
I’ve got those on my Miata. They’re insanely good, feels great on dry pavement unlike a lot of snow tires, and still performs well in the snow.
So this are the balancing bricks everyone is talking about
Finally found the cause of the random jumping and wiggling at speed. Had the wheel & tires balanced 2 times before finally deciding to change the set. The foam padding on the original factory pirelli tires has dislodged and was probably causing uneven balance.
When it comes to tires, I have had Pirelli. They don’t last what they say that they are supposed to, even with regular rotation.
Pirelli deserves A LOT more criticism for what they're doing. No tire should last almost the entire race distance, ever.
