Good Lord. I didn't even see that this was 2 years old. Thanks for coming back and giving your impressions of that tire on that vehicle!! That will probably help some folks out at some point. Pretty kewl.Since this thread was revived-- I ended up buying these tires. Have about 15K on them now.
IMO, the tire excels in pretty much everything but treadwear-- I rotate them every 7500 mi. and I'm guessing they might make it to 50K. The wear is nice and even, but this is a heavy van which seems to take a toll on tires. My last minivan (Honda Odyssey) was the same.
No worries, I think this tire is still on the market. I love the look of it, if you want a nice thick curb rash protector, these are it. Wife ran over a coat hanger looking thing a couple months ago which flattened one of them. Used an inexpensive plug and it's been fine since.Good Lord. I didn't even see that this was 2 years old.

I started reading this thread, glanced at date, “October 17”, thought ‘just last week, great!’Good Lord. I didn't even see that this was 2 years old.
“They'll have to wear in a little more for me to really compare with the Michelins they replaced.”Installed and already put a couple hundred miles on them. Very nice compliant but taut ride. They'll have to wear in a little more for me to really compare with the Michelins they replaced, but so far so good.

Still cleans up pretty good for an 11-yr-old ride that lives in the Midwest.

Michelin Premier LTX?
Defender LTX?
Yep, post #28.Premier LTX I think he said earlier
Thank you for following up on these. They have been on my list as an option to the CC2.Update on my Pirellis. So 3.5 years/30K miles, wear is even and tires all sit at ~8/32" so started at 11 so down 3/32", they really are lasting nicely and are still quiet/comfy. I rotate every oil change so ~5K miles.
My experience is that all tires get a lot noisier as they wear out. The Toyo OEM tires on my 21 CX5 got noisy as they approached 3/32 or so. The Pirelli's (scorpion +3) that replaced those have been incredibly quiet so far but I'm only at 20K miles or so. I had the same issue with my 2016 CX5. It came with some Yokohamas that wore out really fast and were howling when I replaced them with some Conti LX25's (another pretty quiet and nice riding tire). The worst tires I've ever had in a long time were the Dunlap SP's that came on my 18 Mazda3. They were noisey, incredibly rough riding, and terrible traction from the get go. A set of Pirelli's P7's transformed that car.I installed a set of these on my 2021 RAV-4. We have put about 33k miles on in about 1.5 years. I rotate about every 10k (they have been rotated three times now).
As I read through all the posts, I am honestly surprised. I am not impressed with these tires. This is my first (and perhaps last) set of Pirelli tires. I bought them because of the rave reviews.
Don't get me wrong, they are not awful. I am just not impressed with the treadwear, but my biggest gripe is the noise. The more miles they get on them, the more they howl on smooth pavement.
