Going with Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 XL. Haven't had much snow last few years but do get temps cold enough to need at least all-season tires.
I have the previous Pirelli Scorpion version on a CX5 and they have been quiet and handle like a dream. I have driven the f..k out of them across country three times, twisty back roads of many states and quite a few dirt roads. I have over 100k on this set and had to warranty replace one because of a puncture near the side.
Take it to Les Schwab or Discount Tires. I had a similar puncture like yours with same the Pirelli tire and Les Schwab patched it up for free for first time customer.
Switched from Toyos to the Pirelli Scorpion and instantly felt a difference. Much more quiet and smooth
Pirelli Scorpion AS3 is what I got after the toros and they did not disappoint
i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too
The Pirellis, at this pressure, are quite smooth and free rolling. But the weight is never forgotten, and getting to speed takes effort. The reflective sides are bright and clear, and lend a bit of comfort to riding in low-light mornings/evenings.
Thus far, no punctures. At 1500km, though, the rear's showing its wear (front looks nice still) and flattened off at the centre of the tread.
Traction-wise, I've had no concerns. Both: rain/shine they've given me no pause or worry. Riding on various surfaces: asphalt, concrete, gravel, dirt, packed limestone - they seem to just work well.
The Pirellis are super soft. It improves high speed handling on dry roads, but they wear out way faster. Mine did this exact same thing after about 30k miles.
Just driven for first time in rain with my new P Zeros on and googling if anyone else finds them shocking in the wet. Seem good in dry but absolutely shocking in wet, thought diesel had been spilt on roundabout at first, but then realised same on any other roundabouts.
I was just struggling with a set of these the other day, they are 28mm and my rims are actually hooked at 22mm internal, so nothing too crazy. I barely managed to get 1 bead on, so I knew the second one would be a pain lol. It took a lot of convincing to get them on.
