My OEM Yokohama Geolandar G91As will be ready for replacement come this fall. I’ve been doing some research and I could very well go for the Continental CrossContact LX25 or the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. But I may go for an all-weather tire like the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2, which gets very good reviews.

While I don’t get tons of snow at my house these days, I do travel into snowy areas occasionally.

So my question is, has anyone tried them on a CX-5 - and, if so, what are your thoughts? Do the Goodyears take away from the sporty steering and handling of the CX-5? The tires weight 31 pounds each on my size (225/65-17) and the others are more like 26 and 29 pounds respectively. Any noticeable effects from this - like fuel mileage?

Any information is welcome and appreciated. - including thoughts on the Goodyear versus the Continental and PIrelli.

 

I'd look at the Pirelli tires and Continental ones as well. Compare them both at tire shops, and check places like eBay Motors and Walmart Supercenter as well. If the price is identical to the Goodyear tires, then I'd try to find those 2 for as low as possible and forget about the Goodyear tires. I would say that Goodyear tires are solid, but more of a budget option in many cases.
