Bridgestone makes a 19" OEM size, as well as Michelin making a Primacy and CrossClimate2 The CrossClimate is my favorite all-weather tire.

Read from many different sources the Cross Climates great tire but you do lose two to three miles per gallon. I have a hybrid that's important to me. My 24 RX 350H, I have the Michelin Primacy tires. 55,000 mile tread warranty incredibly quiet. Since ownership four months 38 mpg. Will get these on our 2023 NX 350h when the time comes. Snow and ice not an issue.

yes, a good choice if snow and ice are not an issue...

That sounds strange. I swapped out the Primacy tires for Nokians all weathers and no difference in gas mileage. The Cross climate tires are very popular in Europe.

Default Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive

Wondering if anyone has used these tires on their 5th Gen RX350. My car (350h) came with 21” OEM tires and I need a separate winter set so instead of getting winter tires I am looking at Pirelli Weatheractive all weather tires this time. I will need to do 20” tires with aftermarket alloys as there are very limited options in 21”.

Where I live, we usually get snow from late Nov - Feb but the City clears it within a day or two. Freeze and thaw cycles may add some ice to otherwise dry roads but it has not been an issue. I always ran dedicated winter tires before (Blizzaks, X-Ice, Ice Zero). Snow days have become significantly less over the last 2 decades, so I was hoping all weather tires may work fine to overcome the annoying road noise typical of dedicated winter tires. These tires will also allow me to leave them on a bit longer until April when surprise snow is not a concern anymore.

Anyone else experimented with these tires?

I am curious to also know if there have been any complaints of 20” tires rubbing against fender wall or anything else.

TOPIC DRIFT:


Your opinions of the OEM Bridgestone Alenza all-weather tires on SAND.



We have been invited to join a family member on the North Carolina outer banks. But to get to the rented house, we need to drive over some soft sand then travel 15 miles on a beach, to Corova Beach!

Anybody ever tried this, or are they familiar with conditions of the 'beach access road' in Corolla, NC? Not THAT worried about driving on hard-packed beach, but the beginning and end are raising concerns.
