I use tubeless 30mm P-zeros on my roadbike, I put 2300 miles on them from new last year (3700km). The rear tire is done for, it looks like your front tire, it has chunks of the carcass missing and I can see the inner layers. This isn’t surprising because the rear tire wears out faster than the front because most of your weight is on the rear and the driven wheel also wears out the tire faster. I’m also 280 pounds so that shortens the life span too. But the front tire still looks good, I’m thinking I’ll get about a half season more out of it. I bought a new p-zero to mount on the rear, and I’ll keep buying them one at a time to replace each tire as they wear out. I’ve been very happy with the performance of these tires so far
I bought a set of Nokian One tires for my 2019 Civic EX back in September. I believe the sidewall says all-season. They’ve been excellent so far.
I had the same problem - it was a Pirelli P zero that balanced ok but seemed to have a construction problem. I could move the vibration around by rotating tires. New tires cured the problem - perfect balance at 80mph now.
Had a blow out of my 21inch front right tire...Truck handled amazingly well with only 3 tires while crossing 2 rumble strips and 6 lanes of traffic decelerating from 75mph while navigating/negotiating the 6 lanes crossing to clear the roadway.
I like the Nokian WR G4 for my 16" wheels as it's a proper *all weather* and electric friendly (like most Nokians.) Not sure if they make them in a 205/45r17, but they are good for wet/cold/winter and just ok in the dry/warm.
Decided to upgrade the stock Toyo A36s on my 21 CE Turbo AWD at 14k miles. The Toyos weren't great when new but they worked and even did pretty well in the snow last winter. They wore really quickly though and only had about 4/32nds left when I went for annual inspection a couple of weeks ago. I did some research and narrowed replacements down to either Michelin CC2s or the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive. The WeatherActive is pretty new and there weren't many reviews available and even less that had any snow testing so I wanted to share my brief experience. They feel great. Really grippy and stable on dry roads and so much better at absorbing bumps and general road noise. I'm sure a lot of this is just new vs old tires but it still makes the CX5 feel great. Also got a few inches of snow overnight and the tires are solid in the snow. Acceleration, turning, and braking are all almost as good as on dry roads with the old tires. I'd highly recommend considering these if you're looking for new tires. They're generally going to be a bit less than the CC2s but offer very similar specs and performance. And the 235 55 size looks awesome on the CX5. Would definitely recommend something like this as opposed to an AT tire if you want a more sporty look without sacrificing the CX5s great driving characteristics.
I would personally recommend that you get a tire like the Nokian Hakkapelita R3 or R5. They are by far the best winter tires I have used.
Nokian WRG4’s are better than both in the snow.
The Nokian One Tires are marked as a low rolling resistance tire and I decided to give them a try. I drove a 14 mile loop with my old Michelin MXM4's at 35 MPH and then drove the same loop with the new Nokian One's. The Nokian tires had about 13% higher Watt-Hour per Mile consumption.
Not sure about the Vredesteins, but I will say that I hate Pirellis. No issues with wear or performance, but they are unbelievably noisy after about 20k miles. I probably could have gotten another 10k out of them, but replaced them due to the noise.
