Owner reviews for tires

Nitto Neo Gens are good performance and on road tire.

I opted for Pirelli scorpion westheractive for my cx5 from tire rack. I liked the price of them and reviews are high.

I’m on my second AWD car with CC2s. Subaru Impreza wagon and a Hyundai AWD Ioniq5. Pros are great snow & wet handling and braking & adequate dry handling combined with lower rolling resistance than most for better mileage.

I went with the 255/40R20 Michelin CC2 - mostly based on all-weather capability (had them on a previous SUV) and the longer treadwear warranty which I needed based on my requirement of being able to get two winter seasons out of them before hitting 6/32 of tread remaining.

Finally upgraded from the stock tires to a set of Nitto Terra Grappler G3’s 265/60R20. Been quiet on highway and still look aggressive. I’ve only had them for a short time but impressed already for what I was looking for.

Honestly, the Niro hybrid has sohe of the lowest maintenance of any car I owned. I had 178.000 miles on mine when some joker decided to drive into the side of it. I had done nothing but maintenance and tires in all those miles.

Michelin PA4s are better for dry, wet and a little ice. They are not so good in snow. I had them on my Golf R. Although I never got stuck, they don't inspire confidence in snow.

I put Cooper AT3 265/75-16 (Pro-4x size) on, which I like pretty well. I've had ok luck with it driving through Illinois fields when hunting.

Pirellie tires are fun to drive if you want to drive hard and don't care about it being a harsh ride. But, they cost much more and last significantly less miles than other brands. Think 50% or less of their advertised mileage before they become too rough to use.

I previously had on the coveted Conti DWS 06+ and they sucked. Here’s what I did not like about them. The continental did not have the extra little bead around the rim to protect it. The front tires always look like they were under inflated, even though they were at the correct pressure and there was always a ring of dirt around the sidewalk where it looked like it was basically running on the side sidewalk half the time through turns with the flexing. The continental tires only lasted about 22,000 miles.
