Default Need new 20 inch tires

tires have worn out. Currently have the run flat Goodyear Allseasons. Should I stay with the Goodyears or are there better options?

It seems like the OEM Pirelli Scorpions have better owner experiences here. I have them on my 20" wheels, and would go with them again. Seems to not have the cracking and chunking issues reported on the other brand tires.

How many miles on your worn out tires?

I actually have gotten almost 50k miles out of my Goodyears.

That is awesome mileage for a set of tires used on permanent 4X4 SUV! If I can get 30K-35K miles on mine - I'd be happy, but 50K - WOW!

If you got 50k and had no issues, I'd stick to the same tire. I dont think I've ever gotten even close to that kind of mileage.

I could go a bit longer to be honest. Maybe another 5k or so before really have to be replaced. I think I will take your advice and stick with what I am familiar with.

Wow 50K on tires that are on a big heavy SUV, that is awesome.. Based on that mileage I could definitely understand going for another set of Goodyears.. However, if it was me I would go with the Pirelli Scorpions simply because IME the Scorpions offer a better ride.

have you had the opportunity to compare the Goodyears vs Pirellis?
