I have the Pirelli CInturato SF3 on two of my cars and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 on one of them, and the better tire by far is the Pirelli. On dry roads the Pirelli works better, it does it's job very well at any speed. Where the Pirellis really shine though is in the rain. They work very very well, I have not felt any aquaplaning, and they really work surprisingly better than any tires I have had before.
I’ve been running the Pirelli Scorpion AS3s for about 15k miles and they’ve been great. Live in New England and they handle all seasons beautifully. They run smooth, quiet and they fit the racy feel of the CX5. Tread is also holding up very well.
I took my FWD hybrid through a lot of western Carolina roads during hurricane Helene on the stock scorpions and had no issues and never got stuck but saw a few jeeps get stuck on stuff I had no problem hopping over.
I decided to preference lower road noise benefit of this Pirelli tire. I have a 2021 CX-5 SIG. Already a quite vehicle while driving but now even more so. The ride is so smooth. Discount Tire only needed to install balancing weights on one of the wheels. Speaks to the quality of these tires. I replaced the original Toyo A36, at 30K miles. I am very happy with my choice.
Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. I did a review on them recently. Best tire I’ve had.
I have those Pirellis and have been very happy with them.
Fronts are 5/32 and rears are 6/32. I'll save the $40 and do it myself. And when the time comes, I'll replace them with something that will last more than, say, 20k miles. I just wish Nokian made tires that fit the 19" wheels.
I swapped out my first set of Pirelli A/T at 22k miles because the tire noise was driving me insane. They still had tread left and probably would have lasted to 30k but I was so sick of the tire noise, which got very loud around 15k.
Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.
The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.
Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.
I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.
It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.
Do not get the P-Zeros trashhhh tire, very stiff I tried them on didn’t like em, way too much cabin noise Continentals are good, idk where you live but if you got the cheddar, go Michelin pilot sport all seasons. If you have a big o tires near your area they might be able to hook you up
