Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP

If you’re dealing with rough roads and gravel check out the dunlop mutants. I have them on my mt09 and i love them. They handle great in the twist and not afraid to bomb a dirt road. Great tire ill buy again and again

Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.

I've seen similar sentiments online about Pirelli that didn't really match my experience. Most of my favorite driving sets of tires have been Pirellis. Not necessarily best by the numbers, but by how they felt on some of my more communicative cars on the road.

in the end I ended up installing the stock tires Dunlop AT22 which are the best

Depends on the model. I’ve had some great experience with Pirelli Scorpions and the P Zero. Usually not my brand of choice but if nothing is available and they are I’ll run them. Definitely more of a Michelin PS2/C type for my sport cars though. I’m about 3k miles into a set of PZero 21” on my LR Discovery. They handle the weight of the vehicle and road conditions really nice, so far have no complaints.

Honestly have no idea why anyone hates them but after giving up my OEM Yokohama Geolander for Michelin Defender 2's that had a weird vibration on the highway that the tire shop insisted wasn't from a bad balance, I returned those and got the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. They ride MUCH better than the Defenders, which were one of the highest rated tires everywhere, and there is no weird vibe on the highway. My 22 CX-5 never rode so good.

I’ve had Scorpions on my car for ten years by now. When I had Michelins and Bridgestones they did not drive nearly as smoothly

I replaced the Pirellis on ours due to excessive road noise at about 50,000 miles. Had plenty of tread life left but I was tired of the noise. Went with a Nitto tire that was an improvement over the Pirellis but will probably try a Michelin on my next set

The tires are trash. Same thing happened to me at 24k miles.

I have these tires on a non-Volvo car. They are VERY soft, I experienced chunking of them within the first 1000 miles of driving on flat pavement and others with the same tire report the same.
