hi guys, Need two front tires asap...Going to replace my yoko paradas which have lasted 6 years...Price 4 the yokos here in TW run $430 per tire which is very expensive...Anyone run the Pirelli Scorpion zero tires...Saw a good deal 4 $340 per tire here and most online reviews have v.good feedback...Cant get the Hankook ventus here either.....Have been using Achilles desert hawk tires 4 my rear which are not too bad and they r the cheapest here at $270 per tire...What do u guys think? Go 4 the Pirellis? tks all
 
I had the pirelli scorpions on my fx and didn't like the feel to much but that's just me. They felt kind of rough. Maybe someone else had a better experience with them. I ended up getting the hankooks rh06 but as stated before think those are discontinued.

They're OK. Have them on an MDX. Different build of tire likely & nothing special on there.
Do you drive in snow or cold weather?
 
I need some advice too I need 2 new tires ASAP currently running nitto 420S 285/40/22 but make too much noise Is there any other tire you guys recommend? That is similar or better?

I think tire options are a little limited in that size. If youre staying in Miami and your budget allows it, I would go with the Pirelli P Zero, being a great summer tire.

If you needed more of an all season, they have the Yokohama Parada Spec X in that size. I run them on mine. Ride is decent, but it's honestly a little louder than I would like.

Hi, No snow or cold weather..Need the tires mostly for dry and wet weather..tks

Then maybe get a summer tire. Good for Dry & Wet. You dont need to all season it.
This Nitto NT 555 looks pretty good. 300 treadwear should be grippy

Hi, The Nitto 555 run $500 per tire here and had them a few years back....i run the Achilles Desert hawk on my rears and they actually perform well...so i might just get the same for the fronts as i can get them here 4 abt $250 a pop....Did want something more like pirelli or yokohama but prices here 4 them are unreal....If anyone wants decent all season, check out the Achilles Desert Hawk...Online reviews are also pretty good..Just another option for u guys who want tires.

Hi bro, They were great and super low profile.....I actually got them with my rims 6 years back as a package deal...They lasted pretty good and had great dry and wet grip..lasted a,few years i think, then changed to the paradas but had rear camber issues and the new rears went bold on one side after 3 or 4 months...Alignment was screwed up and way off...When i realised, it was too late so had 2 change asap..$900 for two tires were wasted so just got the Achilles for the rears which perform pretty well.
 
Hi, Was leaning towards the achilles tires again for $270 per tire BUT now have the option to get the Toyo proxes 2 for $320 per tire....Never had Toyo tires! What do u all think? Worth getting the Toyo's? tks all

Hi, got another tire option..
So it is now between the pirelli Zero or the Toyo proxes 2..(Same price)
Would appreciate suggestions especially for those who have used them....As i said...need the best summer tires! let me know guys...tks all
 
Have had the proxes 2 for years now. Great tire imo and wears well. It is unidirectional therefore rotating tires requires dismounting if you care to cross rotate.
