Tires Pirelli or Cooper

I’ve been on the pirelli scorpions (18”) for two years. Got me through Chicago snows and Orlando heat with minimal noise. No complaints at all.

A year or two ago I put Cooper Road+Trail on our 4Runner, and I’ve been thrilled. They’re a mild AT so they’re super quiet on the road. I’ve cruised plenty of forest service/dirt/gravel roads and they’ve had good traction, and no damage so far.

in the summer i swap to 22” range wheels with pirelli scorpions and get 2.1 to 2.7 mi/kw. so best case scenario, i’m getting 380.

The Pirelli gives the nicest overall ride, with a sporty steering input. The continental gives the most overall grip and is best in deep snow (4+ inches). The Michelin feels the sportiest, But you feel every minor road imperfection.

Just get tires with more protection, like the Pirelli Cinturato Velo.

My stock tires of pirelli scorpion ms are fantastic but I have around 500 miles on the odometer. No complaints so far and seem quiet

So this are the balancing bricks everyone is talking about

Finally found the cause of the random jumping and wiggling at speed. Had the wheel & tires balanced 2 times before finally deciding to change the set. The foam padding on the original factory pirelli tires has dislodged and was probably causing uneven balance.

When it comes to tires, I have had Pirelli. They don’t last what they say that they are supposed to, even with regular rotation.

Pirelli deserves A LOT more criticism for what they're doing. No tire should last almost the entire race distance, ever.
