Tires Toyo or Pirelli

I’ve winter-driven my F82 a couple seasons now, and the SottoZero 3s are honestly solid they’re not as ice-grippy as the Michelin Alpin 4s you ran, but they hook well enough in packed snow and feel way more stable than you’d expect on a big-power RWD car. The only thing I noticed is the Bridgestones feel a bit firmer on cold pavement, but nothing crazy.

I have the Pirelli CInturato SF3 on two of my cars and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 on one of them, and the better tire by far is the Pirelli. On dry roads the Pirelli works better, it does it's job very well at any speed. Where the Pirellis really shine though is in the rain. They work very very well, I have not felt any aquaplaning, and they really work surprisingly better than any tires I have had before.

I’ve been running the Pirelli Scorpion AS3s for about 15k miles and they’ve been great. Live in New England and they handle all seasons beautifully. They run smooth, quiet and they fit the racy feel of the CX5. Tread is also holding up very well.

I took my FWD hybrid through a lot of western Carolina roads during hurricane Helene on the stock scorpions and had no issues and never got stuck but saw a few jeeps get stuck on stuff I had no problem hopping over.

I decided to preference lower road noise benefit of this Pirelli tire. I have a 2021 CX-5 SIG. Already a quite vehicle while driving but now even more so. The ride is so smooth. Discount Tire only needed to install balancing weights on one of the wheels. Speaks to the quality of these tires. I replaced the original Toyo A36, at 30K miles. I am very happy with my choice.

Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. I did a review on them recently. Best tire I’ve had.

If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.

Tbf to Pirelli, after Silverstone 2013 they’re scared shitless for another debacle

Originally came with new car 20k mile Perelli’s so I had to put new tires on fairly early

Those Toyo tires are so old, they don't even exist anymore.
