Tires Pirelli or Cooper

I’ve had both and the Cooper is superior in every condition. I ran them on my GMC Sierra but had BFG’s on several 4WD’s over the years. Where I lived we got lots of rain, some snow and occasional ice storms. I always had excellent traction. I drove them 60k miles and they still had tread left.

I also have a set of coopers on my tj. I’ve been very impressed with them so far and love how they chew through the really deep stuff, mud or snow. Main thing is that they’re heavy which has put some wear on my steering rack and tire carrier, they can be pretty loud on the freeway with the top off but I love that.

I just got the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 today and from the little experience I have, I’m very happy with them. Very quiet compared to the OEM Yokohamas that came on the 18” wheels.

Another vote for the Pirelli AS Plus Scorpions. They compliment the CX9 very well. Great handling dry and wet. Good highway ride. Quiet and comfortable.

Fantastic all around tire. Quiet, handle dry and rain fantastically. Have about 15k on them with little wear.

Put them on my 22 TRD OR. Quiet, smooth ride, handle anything reasonable. As long as you’re not trying to do any massive off roading and worst terrain is going to deer camp on a rainy day they’re perfect.

Solid midrange choice.

Old school big Pirellis

I have had this same problem with these tires on my XC60. I had the tires warrantied through Pirelli the first time and they replaced all four with new tires, same model. Not less than a year later I started having the same issues.

I had problems with the Pirellis that came with mine too. Replaced with other Pirellis. More issues.
