Tires Pirelli or IRONMAN

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice

I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.

I have them installed on my m50i and just tried them out today in the snow/slush/ice. Excellent grip overall, no sliding or wheel spinning.

Just fitted the PZero 2023 TT Race tyres. OMG. What a delight to fit. No tools needed. Straight on the rims. No need to pop them.

I have been using Pirelli PZero for a few years - TLRs 28mm on Enve Foundation 65 Hookless. Realy like them (heaps).

However the last set purchased have completely defeated me. I cannot get them onto the wheel set.

I run Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC with CushCore inserts on hookless carbon rims. I usually run 27psi, but have done as low as 24psi. I have run these very chunky and rough courses with fast downhills. I have had no trouble.

My stock tires were low on tread by 30k and needed replacing - I got Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3s and have been happy with them so far, including driving in freezing rain conditions last week.

I use 245-45-17 but ironman gen 2s have slightly less grip, and will last about as long. Only big downside I noticed is off throttle the ironmans will "float" alot more than the 595s. I started running the ironmans when the federals started going out of stock everywhere this summer

41000 miles on scorpions and reddy for replacement

Not the answer to your question, but I just wanted to add that when I got snow tires (Pirelli Sotozero- avoid them) I also got a set of closeout 18" wheels. Having the extra sidewall when you hit potholes and/ or ice chunks helps save the rims.
