Tires Pirelli or GT Radial

Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires

Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.

Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.

I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.

I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.

I use the new Pirelly Cinturato Winter 3 since like a week or so - they stick well, feels comfortable and silent on the highway too (at least until like 170 km/h, that is way over the speed limit here). More silent than the Michelin summer set.

GT Radial tires.

Theoretically, the Michelin will last longer and you can use tread ware warranty. My Pirelli lasted 26,000 si hoping to get more out of the Michelin.

For example, my mercedes came with the worst runftlat tires from Pirelli. Those run flats felt like shit after 10k miles. Unusable and felt dangerous at 14k. Replaced at 15k when costco had proper non runflat tires from Michelin.

I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me ,  in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
