Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

Now have the Yokohama Geolanders and certainly believe they're a better tire.

We had two incidents on the freeway where a nail punctured the tires and had to buy new tires and went with Pirelli. After switching the tires we noticed a huge improvement in handling and noise. Toyo tires are very loud when driving especially on the freeway.

I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.

The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.

The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.

From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].

Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.

Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.

I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.

The 2021's come with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season, not too bad as they work well enough in snow, washed out gravel roads and rain but they squeal a lot in turns would like a bit more traction.

BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.

Soooo yes and no. I live in Fairbanks, AK and they honestly did pretty decent for deep snow HOWEVER once it went -40°F and that snow slowly turned into hardpack I instantly swapped them out for Falken AT Trails. Although not as good as a dedicated winter tire they did WAYYYY better than the Avid GTs which almost lead me into a few close calls since THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY 0 TRACTION
