Pirelli Scorpion as plus 3 on CX-5 reviews?

[potownrob]

If you're referring to the Pirelli A/S Plus 3 people are mentioning ... They are definitely not a 'snow' tire.

Much safer to check with tires that have a 3PMSF designation, for "severe winter" weather. (Even some of those might not be stellar, but I wouldn't want to rely upon a regular A/S tire over snow, ice or slush. That's a good way to go off the road, IMO.)

Pirelli's "Scorpion/Cinturato Weather Active" tires would work (their "all-weather" compound), as would the "Scorpion All Terrain Plus" tire.

i was referring to the scorpions people keep mentioning. from what i can tell, most of the people buying them are in the south.

I live in Atlantic Canada...definitely in the North, relative to the US. FYI, I bought my Pirelli Scorpion AS +3's at COSTCO.

Same for me (Atlantic Canada). Also purchased mine at Costco. They are going on for their 3rd summer in a few weeks and have been great thus far. Seem to wearing well, too. I am quite happy with them.

Call around to your local tire shops, get some quotes, then compare. Choose the shop that fits your needs.

It wouldn't be helpful for someone to recommend a shop that they've had good experiences with if you don't have the same shop or chain near you.

I only run my Pirelli's from spring to fall, and not in the snow, as I have separate winter tires. I will be on my 3rd season this summer and they have been terrific performers, better overall than my last all season Michelin Premier LTX tires. Quiet, grippy, good in the wet and no V or H. I'd buy them again.

they are definitely not summer tires

And even though they are referred to as "All Season" tires I would never run them in the snowy northern winters which I experience. That's why I run separate winter tires and my Pirelli's in the spring, summer and fall.

I wouldn't want a summer tire as they tend to have a shallower tread and fewer grooves which causes them to wear out faster than an all season tire, in addition to usually costing more and performing poorly in temps below 7C(45F) compared to an all season.

I had the Pirelli's installed on my CX-5 last week and they have been excellent, much better than the OEM Yokohama's in every way.
