19" All season???
 
I may be looking at a set of 19" all season tires. Any suggest?
Thanks guys .:)

This is Pirelli's updated Scorpion Zero tire, design. This is the best 19" all season. I just wish they made it in 255/55/18.

Great tires!!!!! Running a set on my X for the last 5 months, just did 850 miles on em today in dry and torrential rain weather, great grip, low noise a lot better than the Diamaris in my opinion.:thumbup: Ha, just hit 300 posts with this one!!

I've got 25K miles on my 19" Pirelli Scorpions on my OEM sport wheels. They have a few thousand miles before I hit the wear bars and I'm getting another set

I recently switched to the Kumho ones available at tirerack, and they seem quite good so far (cheaper too). I think a bit quieter than the two sets of Diamaris I had on the beast for the previous 59k miles, and they seem to roll more smoothly, although that may be due to having them mounted at a shop that has a high end balancing machine.

The one area I've noticed they are worse is in hard cornering, you get less wheel feedback and they seem slightly squirmy compared to my old nearly bald Diamaris. But I don't usually drive hard enough to need super cornering.

kuhmos are allright but get louder as they wear down. a lot louder.

Another vote for the Pirelli Scorpions. They seem to be the best in class. I did like the Diamaris, however, but the Scorps are less money, they're quieter and have excellent "stick". Kuhmo does seem to be an up-and-coming contender.

what size tires are good for the 19's 255 front ?285 back?

Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, hands down. On my second set....no problems with 1-1.5 feet of snow!

Hey Kewl,
I hope those Pirellis last you awhile. I tried to get them and they don't make them for the staggered 19's anymore. They make the Asimmetricos in 285 but not 255. They only make the regular scorpions in 255 and not 285. Not alot of choices for all seasons for the staggered 19s :tsk:

Bridgestones on mine from new. Build date was August 2005. Only done 5000 miles so far - no problems, good grip.

Tomaz 04-16-2006 08:21 PM

www.tirerack.com has Pirelli's for sport package 19"

Surprised they lasted that long considering they are SNOW and not ALL SEASON tires. :confused:

Toyo Proxes S/Ts have been good to me so far. I have them for my 20s, but I'm pretty sure they come in sizes for 19s too.

Diamaris are already in. I'll just have to change over for the winter to the 18s. Thanks Vig.

Wagner, my 19" Pirelli's are all season M+S rated Asimmetrico's as sold at Tire Rack.

The Toyo Tire website shows the Proxes S/Ts are made in the correct 19" stagger size, but not many places carry them yet including Tire Rack.

Ah, didn't see Asimmetrico so I was stuck on my snow tire kick.

rmcox1991 06-14-2006 05:15 PM

Pirelli Scorpion Asimmetrico owners out there, how many miles are you getting out of your tires? I've got 10K miles and my fronts still have 8/32 tread left but both rears are down to about 2/32. Even wear across the whole thing. Anyone know what might be causing this? It looks like some people are getting 20K+ on their sets. I check the tire pressure regulary and I keep it at about 35 PSI. And I'm not (as my friends suggest) burning rubber at the stop lights. Kind of hard to do in an AWD 5000 lb tank! Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
