Tires Pirelli or NANKANG

Nankang NS-2R. Semislick tyre made for endurance.

With one set of this I made more than 1.000km on track.

And they are cheap.

I just got the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 today and from the little experience I have, I’m very happy with them. Very quiet compared to the OEM Yokohamas that came on the 18” wheels.

Another vote for the Pirelli AS Plus Scorpions. They compliment the CX9 very well. Great handling dry and wet. Good highway ride. Quiet and comfortable.

Fantastic all around tire. Quiet, handle dry and rain fantastically. Have about 15k on them with little wear.

I purchased the pirelli last spring but they had really good mail in rebates. If you can wait for a good deal, they are great tires

I replaced with Pirelli P7's. They are great, makes a huge difference in ride quality.

I had a set of Nankang NS-25 UHP tires on my mazda 3 turbo sedan. They were great tires and handled really well. Got about 30k miles out of them. I was pretty pleased, they even did alright in snow.

I've had them on a different car and work with cars so have been around them plenty. Personally am not a fan, but they are a decent all around warmer weather tire

The only general consensus is that Pirelli is the worst tire you could buy. I have had the worst experience with pirellis that came on a car I bought.

Perillis are JUNK! Have had them on several cars; and refuse to put them on my Range Rover.
