Tires Pirelli or Kumho

Pirelli Tires

I'll be putting Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3s on my Ariya next month, and I'm in Wisconsin. They've got the insulation to help with road noise, the main reason I'm not doing CC2s.

Pros: insulation helps road noise
Vehicle: Nissan

I put Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive on my '19. Love them. Wet and dry traction is amazing. 19,000mi since 11/24 and think they're the best tire I've ever bought.

Pros: wet and dry traction amazing
Mileage: 30577 km

Kumho Tires

Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.

Pros: didn’t bat an eye

I run 225/40r18 Pirelli Sottozero 3. I hate the idea of trading dry and wet performance for better snow traction especially considering that I have proper UHP summer tires that need to be off the car when it’s already below freezing at night but during the day it warms up a lot. They’re not bad in the 2 recent snow storms that we’ve had, I only got stuck once but that’s because there’s was like 20+ cm in an unplowed parking lot.

Pros: not bad in snow storms
Cons: trading dry, wet performance

Stock mk8.5 with the stock p-zero all seasons, it's been icy, -10f to 15f, and a few inches of snow daily. Drove it through 8" of snow where my bumper was plowing snow. Pretty impressed. Most important thing is tires, I really wish I had snow tires. I have to drive slow and brake early especially with the ice. Luckily these tires seem to prioritize braking. If you don't turn or accelerate slowly they start to lose grip fast.

Pros: prioritize braking, pretty impressed
Cons: lose grip fast, wish for snow tires

I installed Pirelli Scorpion All Weather tires on my Mazda CX-90 about 3,000 miles ago since I am in NY. I recently measured the tread depth and found that they’re already down to 7/32”.

This seems like a lot of wear for such low mileage. My alignment checks out, tire pressure was set to the factory recommended levels at installation, and most of my driving is highway miles.

Cons: excessive wear, low mileage
Vehicle: Mazda
Mileage: 4828 km
Part number: 275/45R-21 PIRELLI SCORPION WEATHERACTIVE XL 110W
