Tires Pirelli or Vredestein

Pirelli cinturato velo..8000km on my gravel revolt and had just one puncture because of a needle. If not for sucking on sand they are probably the best endurance tyres i know.

Do some research if you haven't heard of Vredestein tires. These things are incredible in the snow and routinely get excellent reviews.

I opted for Pirelli scorpion westheractive for my cx5 from tire rack. I liked the price of them and reviews are high.

I did the same after a set of Vredsteins (which were still good tires). Much quieter.

Those tires have a foam strip glued to the inside of the tire to help reduce noise. My MYP came with Pirelli tires that had the foam and were very quiet.

the quietest and smoothest all-season sets I’ve tried are the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 both ride way softer than the Falkens and handle New England weather really well.

Vredestein, been using them on my Inty for a year now, good grip. You just need to be careful as they are prone to puncture easily due to them being soft compound.

Actually enjoying the comfy sottozero 3s in traffic coming off my ecs02s but can definitely feel the wintertireyness and lack of traction and turn-in

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
