Tires Pirelli or KENDA

The Pirelli gives the nicest overall ride, with a sporty steering input. The continental gives the most overall grip and is best in deep snow (4+ inches). The Michelin feels the sportiest, But you feel every minor road imperfection.

Just get tires with more protection, like the Pirelli Cinturato Velo.

My stock tires of pirelli scorpion ms are fantastic but I have around 500 miles on the odometer. No complaints so far and seem quiet

I personally love the Pirelli Scorpion AS 3 tires. Great overall performance and a 70k mile warranty. I’ve put them (and the AS 2) on 2 of my trucks (07 F150 King Ranch and 20 RAM 1500 Limited) , Chevy Cruze LTZ and Equinox LT AWD.

I found 50mm Pirelli Cinturato H to be pretty fastastic.

Kendas are drift or low budget track tires. They’ll work but might be loud when driving

I only ever bought Kandas to do drift days on my previous cars. I didn’t think people dailied them

My new GTI has p-zero all seasons and they suck. So much slop, understeer, and it's really hard to put the power down.

I had a set of kenda tires. They look aggressive but are the most slippery tire on the road. I wouldn't buy them again.

I have had experiences with many tires models on CX-5, my shop basically agreed Scorpion has to be one of the worst tires to recommend to customer for all the reasons you mentioned. These tires has worse road feel than even Westlakes
