Tires Toyo or Pirelli

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.

So for I like them more than the ko2s. They seem more quite over the ko2s. I think they are a thicker ply tire than the ko2s and can support more weight as well. I get about 20mpg hwy at 79mph.

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.

Pirelli run flats for the win I’ve absolutely sent it with these tires and they grip amazingly

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.

I had two sets on two trucks, loved them for the first 10k miles and after that they pulled to the right all the time and were quite loud. Getting alignments done didn’t help it pulling to the right and as soon as I got different tires the pull went away.

Anecdotal, but I bought a 2022 CX5 earlier this year and it came with Toyo tires on it. My rear driver side tire literally BLEW UP while I was driving 75mph to work at 4 in the morning. It was so bad that there was nothing left of the tire except a couple inches of the side wall around the wheel. I had 8200 miles on the tires.

On our 2016 I had to ditch the Toyos at 19k because I drove down a gravel driveway and popped one when a piece of gravel went through them... They are so bad.
