Just keep an eye on them and keep them rotated. We had a set on my father-in-laws Renegade and they wore quickly and oddly. They got very noisy. We did keep them rotated but his lightweight, all around town, lots of turns, stop/go made those blocks wear strange.Put a set of Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus on my Suburban today. Purchased through Walmart.com for $114 each. I figured they’d be a couple years old at that price, but they have 2025 date codes. Pretty stoked to get Pirellis for less than Linglongs

He only got about 30k out of them but that is the same as his factory Falken Wildpeak HT's and the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail that replaced the Pirelli. Only difference is that the 2 sets of Falkens wore flat and even and stayed quiet the whole time.
We are currently on Cooper on Road + Trail. Tire Rack did give us prorate on the Pirelli due to the odd and fast wear.
UPS dropped off 4 Continental DWS 06+s in 255/45-20 for the Tiguan last week. Had them installed a couple days ago and VERY happy with them over the Hankook Ventus S1s that came on the vehicle.
I missed posting these.
in May - 4 Cooper Road+Trail for father-in-laws Jeep Renegade.
Early September - 4 Continental VikingContact 8 for wife's Pilot.
End of September - 4 Michelin X-ice Snow for my sons Forte.
Daughters boyfriend - No picture of new as he just ordered 4 new CrossClimate 2 from Costco and will have alignment done when they get put on. The picture below is his right rear, the left rear has a deep sidewall gash. Both fronts are at 4-5/32". All 4 were different brand/model, he bought the car used from Enterprise rental. I gave him multiple options from less expensive to more expensive, all season and all weather. I sent him the Tire Rack test video links. His dad told him go to Costco for free install, the road hazard and locations everywhere if issues. Difference of Defender 2 and CC2 was $90. He's not planning on winter tires so I'm good with CC2 for when my daughter drives with him.
RT45's were $70 less than CC2
Nokian One was same as RT45
True Contact tour 54 same but all were at local dealer so if issues travelling not really any road hazard.
The free install and benefits makes Costco a good choice in my opinion. I wish they would be able to order more brand/model choices. I asked about Pirelli but their only option was a P7 none of the AS+3 or Weatheractive.

For the beater bike. These cost as much as a Chinesium car tire.
I made the mistake of getting the regular Marathon's last time, rolling resistance is terrible. Got 15k out of the Plus's I replaced and only a couple flats. Well worth the money.

Swapped out the brand new Toyo AT3s on my new Pathfinder Rock Creek for Michelin CC2s.
I almost went with Nokian Outpost APT but decided to go with more road focus. The CC2 is still so darn good and Michelin had a promo.

Found a screw in one of my GY duratrac tires this morning, although it has decent treads still, I decided to replace since they are about 5 years old and I notice tiny hair line cracks starting on the side wall. Loved the Duratracs but I wanted to upgrade to an LT tire and Duratracs are expensive. Decided on the Bridgestone Dueler AT rh-s in C load, on sale $800 out the door including free tire rotations and balancing for the life of the tire. Not bad. Less aggressive AT tread so super quiet on road, perfect for me as I have a 2nd set of wheels/tires I use for off road.

I ordered a set of Yokohama Geolander CV G058 today from work. $614 out the door with my employee price we get them for dealership cost + 10%. The tires on the RAV4 two of them are cheap $63 a piece tires with 9/32nds and do awful in the rain and the back two are factory tires and cord has began to poke thru on the inner edges so I decided to buy all 4 because the cheap tires are awful. I was torn on what to get because they had so many good and highly rated choices. My dad told me I’m going to regret my decision because Yokohama sucks and I should never buy anything but Michelin. I told him don’t be negative as he said that about my Continental on my Escape then loved them.
It was a hard choice because there were so many different ones and so many good ones. I asked the guy at our tire warehouse what he thought about these he said really good and he sells a lot at the public sales counter and internal counter so I went with them. He said they still don’t beat the Uniroyal sales but they are up there. The choices I narrowed it down to were the ones I bought and then Uniroyal Tiger Paw and BF Goodrich Advantage T/A. I’ve never tried Yokohama so I’m excited to try them out.

It’s not very glamorous but I just bought a set of new takeoff Toyota 17” steelies for my RAV4 with the intention of buying a set of dedicated snow tires for winter driving. I bought them from a FB Marketplace ad and met the guy at a storage unit. He had at least two sets of them still covered in plastic. I assume he must work for the local Toyota dealership but I didn’t ask. I only paid $120 for all four and a set of Toyota wheel covers also still in the shrink wrap.
