Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I had the Nexen Winguard Sport (not the 2) on my 2019 Mustang GT. I drove that car (RWD, manual, 460 hp) for 3 winters on those tires and never had any problems.

Have a 2021 Tiguan SEL with Pirelli Scorpion tires, 29,000 miles and the tires are still "green" for tread. Probably get 45,000 out of these.

We use Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on our Focus RS AWD... they work very well... they are good tires and punch well above their price level in terms of performance and longevity.

I whole-heartedly recommend the Nexen N5000 Platinums... They are not the best tires out there by any means, but punch way above their price category in quality.

Yes, the AS Plus 3 are not only quiet, they are smooth. I've them on another car, and so far so good. On broad and tighter highway sweeps, they handle 20+ over with confidence.

I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.

Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.

They flat spot sitting overnight, but only noticeable really in colder temps (below 40 or so I'd say?)

Echoing similar sentiments on the 21's - Rotated at 8k and seem to be ripping through them faster than I anticipated.

I have 22” and have 5/32 tread left and currently have 16k miles logged. I don’t think they’ll last another 10. I’m also not the biggest fan of Pirelli.
