Tires OEM Mazda or Pirelli

I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.

Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires

Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.

Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.

I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.

I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.

I have been mostly happy with the OEM Pirelli Scorpion A/T tires, and I would agree with you about the acoustics. Something strange I have experienced with the Pirelli Scorpion tires is that they have continued to get quieter after my second tire rotation. Also, with 30,000 miles on them, they do not have the same grip as new, and they break free more easily under full acceleration.

Replacing mine tomorrow with Pirelli scorpion Weatheractives. Tires are fine but I need a more versatile tire for winter and I'm hoping they will help with the road noise too.

Just paid $540 for one 21” Pirelli tire from “Discount” Tire ????

Pirelli tires are always garbage. Bought a new car with Pirellis on it. They're defective and have lemon sized bulges sticking out the sides after only 1000 miles. Went online and found even dealerships when they get the replacements find out the replacements are defective. DON'T BUY PIRELLI!
