Need to replace my summer tires. I have a winter set of wheels and tires (19") I could put on early.
However, I'm getting tired of changing every six months or so.
What are the thoughts or experiences on putting all-season tires on 21" wheels for my SQ5?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Ha. I am in the exact same boat and researching right now.
So far I can only even find two worthwhile options. None in the stock 255/40R21 size. (The bane of the SQ5 21" setup...tire options.)
Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season Plus - Size: 265/40R21 $218 (Unlimited Time / 50,000 Miles treadlife warranty)
Continental CrossContact LX Sport - Size: 265/40R21 $320 (No treadlife warranty) (Technically a Touring tire)

Almost makes the Pirelli a no-brainer if I didn't have such a bad taste in my mouth from previous Pirellis.

My experience, all season does neither really good, just summer and wet ok. I now only do summer.

Thanks.

We're did you find the Pirelli's for $280?

I have no complaints about the Arturo's. I think they were like $600 for the set.

Sorry meant $218. (Edited original)

Both discount tire and tire rack.

Normally I’d agree, and I’ve run dedicated summer and winter tires for 18 years, but after I moved I find there is a large band of cold but dry weather I have to drive in. Below 45 so not good for summer tires, but no snow either so dedicated winter tires are just wearing away. An all-season would offer a longer runtime into fall and early spring.

Agree with the Atturo az850 tires. Great for summer (I have dedicated snow tires). Excellent wear, wet traction, noise. Oh, and the price!!!!!!

They don't seem to make a 255/R4021, do you use the 265's?

BillVT

Yes. Using the 265/40 -21s. Slight change in speedometer, but not a problem. And no other issues. Fitment is fine. And, mine is lowered 1.5".
