Tires Toyo or Pirelli

I've liked the pirelli scorpion as3+ in mn. Plenty of salt on the roads and plowed fairly well to not need snow tires in my opinion.

If you want something cheaper but still sticky, the Toyo R1R also comes in 205/45/16 and works great for spirited street driving.

Just put pirelli Scorpio as3+ on my wife's pilot. Day 1 took the kiddo to soccer in freezing rain and 40 mph winds . They handled great, no slipping.

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.

The Toyo would be your best bet since the Bridgestone are being discontinued but if you find a set, they'll be a better price than the Toyo.

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

I went through first winter in Toronto with the stock Toyos since I got the car right before winter and it handled snow like a piece of cake and I didn’t feel like I would ever get stuck. You’d have to replace them early anyway, they don’t last much.

Anyone have experience with the perelli p-zero all seasons? All 4 of mine are at about half tread and have a lot of chunking and scrubbing from autocross and digs. I do see on the 2 ribs of tread on the inside those are snow sipes, so I figured they would be decent and they have a decent amount of rubber and blocks.

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

My initial PZeros have a tire bulge at 13k. I think they were 80% down anyhow.
