Tires Pirelli or Nexen

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.

Apart from FB Marketplace, Nexens are quite good. I have a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2s on my WRX and so far so good.

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

I got Pirelli P-Zero’s. Meh…. They just came with the Tesla rims. Ok, but I would have went with a Nokian. The pirellis are quiet, smooth run flats…. But the grip is nothing special.

Fronts are 5/32 and rears are 6/32. I'll save the $40 and do it myself. And when the time comes, I'll replace them with something that will last more than, say, 20k miles. I just wish Nokian made tires that fit the 19" wheels.

Pirellie tires are fun to drive if you want to drive hard and don't care about it being a harsh ride. But, they cost much more and last significantly less miles than other brands. Think 50% or less of their advertised mileage before they become too rough to use.

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 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
