Alternatives to OEM 19" tires? - fstfwd - 23-12-2014 06:27am
I have a 2012 pure premium, with 235/55 r19 105V Continental Cross Contact UHP tires. They worn down incredibly fast, only 24k on them! Leasing the car and already have to replace them, meh.
First, I was surprised that these are not all season tires, and I'm also worried I'll get equal mileage on the next set. Does anyone have a good recommendation for alternatives in the same size?
The closest match I found was a Continental Cross Contact LX Sport, they are coming out with a 105V (currently that size is only a 101H) which will hopefully handle we,,. Some reviews on the current models have been encouraging - but somewhat mixed. The Pirelli Verde all season got pretty low scores...
I appreciate the suggestions, need to order this week if possible.

will watch this thread myself. when my snows come off in march i'll need a new summer or all-season set.
was leaning towards the scorpions (pirellis have never let me down before), but hadn't really done my research yet.

After much deliberation (and the need to just decided already), I went with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde Plus A/S tire, in the 235/55R19 105V spec. Bang for the buck (at $185/ea) I think they will be a great alternative to the overpriced Continentals, that wore down incredibly fast, plus these come with a 65k mile tread warranty! That's pretty amazing, and hopefully that doesn't translate into a sacrifice in traction.
I have 30 days to put them through their paces – hoping to get a little light snow to try them out in the next few weeks.

I've run mine on both 19" Continental Cross Contact and Pirelli Scorpion Verde, and prefer the Pirelli's, better handling and less boom noise, neither wore quick though.
