Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
I replaced the tires on the CX9 with a set of Pirelli Scorpions and loved them. They handled very well in the wet and dry,were quiet, and did not impact fuel efficiency significantly.
I like the P7's for quiet and economy. They are quiet and get good mileage without wear. Have the pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S on my truck, they are great compared to the crap bridgestones it came with.
Currently got Yokohama Geolandar GO15, its a solid A/T tire, pero not too aggressive yung looks nya. Comfort is top notch, parang d ako nagpalit ng wheels from the stock.
There’s no better feeling in the world than replacing Pirelli’s with Continental’s, just got rid of mine and threw on some conti purecontacts, cat rides so much smoother and no more worries about my tires.
One more vote for the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Had them on the CX-5 for more than a year and they make me wish I had done it sooner.
I run the Pirellis on our MKT and it does fine year round. Decent grip in the twisties when it comes time for the lake trip, love those state routes. Never have any issues in the white stuff in the winter either. My brother had Conti Cross Climates on his GTI up until its last day and he loved them in the winter time though he did say they were a little lack luster in summer, they're AS tires after all.
We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.
Nothing is wrong with your car, it's your tires. I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GT's on a Subaru and Civic and they both make the same exact humming noise. It's these tires. They're cheap tires (price wise), decent traction in dry an wet and even a little snow, but I guess Yokohama couldn't figure out the tread design to make them less noisy.
Had them on my F250 and they did not last long at all. Looked cool tho and loud as hell.
Hated the pirellis. They barely last 2 seasons on my is300
Michelins always last 4 seasons
