Tires Pirelli or Cooper

The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.

Last week I replaced the ecopia OEM on my 2021 cx9 CE to pirelli scorpions at $258 per tire. The Pirelli’s are great so far. I’m also getting better FE. Almost 1.5mpg more than what I got on ecopias

I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.

So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.

I bought Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s, squared up at 235/55R/19. They are rated for 60,000 miles, are noticeably quieter than the original Allenzas and ride better too.

Also, after 4,000 miles I have seen no reduction in range/efficiency.

Same - may 2022 and 30k. Just got the pirellis recommended from Tirerack and it’s a night and day difference!!

The AS+3s while decent in the snow, are very quiet and smooth, they just soak up mile after mile and have great wet and dry traction.

I felt similar on the stock tires, switched to pirelli angels and found them to be much better

I installed 4 Cooper Adventure Tour tires at PepBoys back in March 2022 and drove on them, in my 2018 Corolla, until Nov 2023 when I got an unrepairable nail in the driver's side front tire. I drove about 41K miles on them before the nail, with about 75% on the freeway/highway.

I was just struggling with a set of these the other day, they are 28mm and my rims are actually hooked at 22mm internal, so nothing too crazy. I barely managed to get 1 bead on, so I knew the second one would be a pain lol. It took a lot of convincing to get them on.

No point going for the TO (Tesla original) models with a bit of foam in them, they claim this will reduce road noise but this really makes no differemce. If you want a quieter ride install some sound deadener pads.
