Tires Hankook or Pirelli

I am running Pirelli Scorpion ATP on my 3500 DRW and have had really good luck with them.

Depending on where are you located, I’m in North so stock is crappy on snow/ice roads. I use Pirelli scorpion winter 2 19” and it’s been great. Don’t hear any noise much, also no issue while driving long distance.

Hankook su best buy gume, pogledaj testove guma, uvek su tu negde sa premium brendovima po ocenama, a jeftinije su dosta. Ja baš imam 205/65/15 hankook ventus prime, evo od marta 2018, i dalje su kao nove.

Pirelli cinturato. Sjajne

Did the switch today. Ill try to report back on range. over original 47.5K miles, i was getting 289 kw/mile on 2020 LR MY with 20 inch inductions and OG goodyears. Madison Wi weather pattern. I am pretty fanatical about maxing out range on highway (drafting behind sprinter vans, etc) so curious to see what happens. Even if range stays the same, worth it for tire cost reduction, comfort, and pothole protection. I plan on using these year round as I am not a fast or aggressive driver and just want cheaper tires and better winter performance than the horrible good years.

I went with the Hankook (I know you said you didn't want them but wanted to share my experience) and have been very happy with them. Live in Sweden and we have this winter received unusually much of both black ice and deep snow. The Hankook's have worked surprisingly well during this winter as well as the dryer and warmer period before the winter arrived (got them after summer).

So 5 thousand miles ago (at 50K miles) I finally replaced those Bridgestones with the Hankooks because they were the only ones that I could find that seemed to check all the boxes; that said, it was a huge gamble as I'd never tried Hankooks before on any vehicle and knew virtually nothing about them.

And wow did it pay off. I think I measured that interior sound levels have dropped about 5 dB at 70 mph (from 70 dB to 65 dB); ride comfort is extraordinarily improved to the point that it feels like a newer build Model Y with their improved suspension (I know because I've rented them via Hertz a few times); and crucially -- and this is coming from somewhat of a tire geek here -- I have never, ever experienced such astonishing hydroplaning resistance before. During our recent California storm (Feb 2024) I had the chance to drive through absolutely bucketing, torrential conditions on the freeway, and standing water that would have previously turned our car into a boat were carved through like an icebreaker ship through, er, ice. Or a hot knife through butter. Whatever.

And yes, best of all, our (still inexplicably dismal) range has jumped a whopping 34% or so on average, from about 145 mi to about 195 mi

My rear is the Pirelli mt66 and 12.5 lbs. negated that with 54 tooth sprocket. Still lost a few miles. 45 down to about 35 but the acceleration was recovered but still not as punchy.

This is a common issue with those pirellis not only on volvos. They are junk.

Had these tires for 4 years with approximately 50,000 km on them. I noticed that 1 out of 4 is starting to crumble like this. I mainly do city driving.
