225/55 19 Tire Review Highlights

Pirelli Scorpion Winter rated 86% while driving a Nissan X Trail
Driving on a combination of roads for 45000 average miles
Our Nissan Xtrail (2020) is, since new, fitted every winter with Pirelli Scorpion winter tires. They have a good and comfortable road feel, very good dry grip and handling, good on snow at higher speeds (German Autobahn) and truly excellent in the wet where we can maintain higher speeds even in a downpour. Only slight downside is higher wear (compared to the Goodyear Efficient Grip summer tires). The Pirellis are now just below 4mm of tread depth and will be replaced soon, either with the currently mounted Scorpions or the Scorpion 2's.

Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 rated 93% while driving a Mazda cx5
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 spirited miles
The truth is if you are looking for tires with the best quality/price ratio these are the best you can find, the only detail against it is that at a certain speed range it has a slight vibration in the steering wheel which is a manufacturing defect, it is not that they are poorly balanced it is a factory defect, I would buy them again because I am already going to have 30,000 kms and they still hold up for another 70,000 kms, they have good grip and the comfort of the tire makes the car's suspension feel better, in the rain they are a wonder almost at the level of Michelin, recommended for work, on the other hand off-road because it has an optimal tread.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 92% while driving a Mazda cx5
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 spirited miles
Amazing tires! Absolute champions in the snow, great handling in the wet, sporty feel in the dry. Matched up with an AWD vehicle you will not have any problems in the snow. I will buy again. One thing of note, they are less sporty in the dry than the original CrossClimates but perform even better in the snow

Petlas Explero PT431 rated 80% while driving a Nissan X Trail 2.5 petrol
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
I was skeptical at 1st to buy Turkiye brand tires, but I am amazed with the performance. For SUV, just remember to have the Hard Sidewall tire. My previous tire, Continental UC6 are really bad. Buldging 2 out of tires in 2 years. I decided to sacrifice the comfort and go for this tire (hard sidewall) and it never go wrong. I used my SUV for a little bit of offroad to camping and mix driving between highways and town driving. The tires are just perfect.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 plus rated 61% while driving a Ford Escape
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 average miles
225 55 19 Bridgestone Etopia ep422 plus These tires came on my new 2022 Ford Escape as an upgrade. Handled well in all weather, good fuel mileage. Had to replace all four by 50,000 kms. By 40,000 kms started getting more road noise. Belts let go in tires ending up with vibrations and sounding like an old set of snow tires. 119,000 kms warranty with lifespan of 50,000kms. Replaced with Michelin Defender 2. What a difference!

Vredestein Ultrac Satin rated 59% while driving a Nissan X Trail
Driving on mostly town for 20000 easy going miles
Fitted to a Nissan X-Trail 7 seater. They have lasted well, the fronts stayed on the front for the life of the tire and we've had 20,000 miles out of them, down to the UK legal limit (1.6mm). The rears still have about 4mm left, however are perishing after 4.5 years, where the tread meets the sidewall they are cracked all round. They're still an MOT pass, however I think they'll probably fail next year.

I'd rate these tires as good value. At the time I bought in 2018 they were slightly cheaper than any premium brand. First impressions were very good, however grip did worsen over the years, it seems the tires get quite a lot harder as they wear down. Wet grip under braking has always been good, even when worn low, so safety for a family car has overall been very good. However wet grip cornering has been fair to poor. Fine for everyday driving where we live (outer London), but not so good if you regularly drive fast twisty A roads. Grip under acceleration on our front wheel drive (open diff) car has also been fair to poor in both wet and dry.

Noise was a minor issue, perhaps more to do with the car than the tires. However moving to Goodyear now I've noticed they're quieter and have a less intrusive sound on motorways. The Vredestein's are more for comfort than for performance, however the noise does let them down a little. Handling and feedback are not strong points for these tires, as expected.

Overall a good choice if they're around 15-20% cheaper than a premium brand, however I found spending slightly more recently got us a better tire (however only 1000 miles driven).

Michelin CrossClimate 2 rated 93% while driving a Toyota RAV4
Driving on mostly country roads for 200 average miles
Fitted these tires to my RAV4 Hybrid. They were far superior to any previous tires.

Continental CrossContact LX Sport rated 88% while driving a Honda Unknown
Driving on mostly motorways for 45 spirited miles
I bought my Honda CRV AWD Touring in March 2021 right out of the Honda showroom. I have just over 50,000 miles in 2.5 years. The tires still have a certified tread of 5/32 (2) and 4/32 (2). They were rotated at the Honda dealership at oil changes-at least 5 times over that time period. I drive approximately 85 - 90 % highway and during all the seasonal changes that living in NE Ohio brings. In dry weather, typical speed is 75 -80 mph. These tires have seen me through ice, snow, sleet, rain, and dry weather. I plan on purchasing them again before this winter begins.

Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV rated 90% while driving a Mazda cx5
Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 average miles
I was looking a new summer tires for my Mazda cx5 because when I bought it there were some unknown sporty summer tires from last owners.There were actually really good on dry,fast cornering and so but on the wet really unpredictable.So I started watching your videos and thanks to you decided for Efficient Grip 2.For 19 inch tire it's fair amount comfortable,grip on wet is really important because I drive on autobahn every day to work and till know I never had risky situation in fast cornering or heavy rain.Never tested it on off-road or some grass.All in all I am definitely buying this tire again considering the price.

Pirelli CINTURATO P7 rated 37% while driving a Ford Unknown
Driving on mostly town for 30125 easy going miles
Apart from original equipment tires, which are often complete junk, these are the worst tires I've ever had. I drive carefully, rotate and air check my tires faithfully. But I barely got 30k out of these. Numerous flats, including an irreparable one that precipitated my replacing them all, as my tread was down to 3/32" anyway. Quiet enough, but nothing special. Very disappointed, as I had considered Pirelli to be a premium brand.

Avon AX7 rated 85% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 3
Driving on a combination of roads for 13000 average miles
Just a fantastic all-rounder. Quiet on the motorway, grippy off road, great manners on road. And a bargain too.

Hankook Dynapro AT2 rated 61% while driving a Land Rover Discovery 4
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
I was talked to getting Hancock Dyna Pro AT2 tires from Bob Jane and I wish I'd never heard of them.
The tires have good traction and all the things that you desire, but the road noise from them in the cabin is just a terrible drumming noise that drives you nuts. I've driven about 40,000 km on it and enough is enough I can't stand it anymore.
I'll either go to Toyo's that I've had for years on our other vehicles or Pirelli's but not Hancook anymore.
