Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP

We replaced the OEM Bridgestone with Pirelli Scorpion A/S 3. They are very quiet and smooth riding. I can highly recommend them.

the two tires people keep circling back to are Michelin Defender 2 (for max longevity + quiet ride) and Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive (for folks who want legit wet/snow grip without going full winter tire). Both feel noticeably better than the OEM rubber Mazda ships these with less thump over expansion joints and far more planted in rain.

I took a mini ski vacation and on my way home last night it was snowing pretty hard. I picked up a '25 GLE 450e in June so this was my first real snow test with it. Since its a lease I'm not going to invest in winter tires and was curious how the 21" staggered Pirelli Scorpions Zero's would do. For an all-season tire it did all I wanted. I wasn't doing 70 but 40-50 mph was very comfortable. Visibility was bad for all of the 170mi ride home limiting what I was willing to do. The other plus I averaged 37mpg.

I have a 24 ecoboost awd fx4. I was getting about 28 with the stock tires. I upgraded to 235 65 17 all Terrain tires and it has dropped to 25. I don't mind the trade off as these tires are worlds better than those stock Pirelli Scorpions.

I've liked the pirelli scorpion as3+ in mn. Plenty of salt on the roads and plowed fairly well to not need snow tires in my opinion.

My AWD Volvo sedan came with Pirelli All Season tires. Even have the official VO on the sidewall : made just for Volvo.

For a summer tire for a road car I think the Dunlop ZIII are a good choice. Long in the tooth and not competitive as a track tire anymore but great in the rain and great on the road.

I have about 21k miles on the stock dunlops that came with the car when I bought it. The tires are already balding and one tire has a leak.

Right now I have Pirelli P Zero / P Zero Nero in 245/40/18 on the stock wheels. I feel the car isn’t very precise in corners — probably because the sidewalls are too soft.

I'm ready to move on from my screaming Pirellis.
