Need new tires for the Q5 and apparently I know less than nothing about car tires. Currently has pirelli scorpions which seemed alright. What's the go to for some fun but mainly focused durability/cost. looking for a 3ish season tire.

Most manufacturers seem to stick duelers on everything

Call that tirebob guy. He gives advice. Free advice.

There's a trillion different flavours of Scorpion and I think the same with Duellers, so you should get some help before picking those.
And if you hate people, use the tire rack surveys.

Tire Rack does one better and use the tire rack testing results.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Completely does away with the people component and has standardized testing applied in real world settings.
My problem is being cheap, the best tires are usually the most expensive. So YMMV

Not a fan of scorpions.
Ive had good success with toyo celcius as a good all year tire.
Tap, Rack, BANG!
Tunerworks hooked me up with Toyo Proxes ST III for the Trackhawk as a 3 season tire. They look cool, great wear so far and I was still able to click off a sub 3.5 0-60 with them. They do make some noise on certain roads but they weren’t expensive so good enough for me.
I like neat cars.
FTFY. Those surveys are 98% useless.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

How are they in the winter? Deciding between the Michelin LTX and Coopers too.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The celcius are really good in the winter on my range rover sport (heavy car w/ good awd). I had michelin defender ltx on a 2500hd and those were awesome too. Crazy good tread life on the michelin.
Tap, Rack, BANG!
I have Conti ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus waiting to be mounted on my car. It was either go with Contis or Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4 for my choices.
Not sure if thats offered for your tire size though

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Yeah a great 3 season tire if you like to do a bit of spirited driving is the Michelin AS4. I've had great experience with the AS3+, and would buy them again in a heartbeat.
I've only had one set of Contis and they were garbage compared to Michelin (sportcontact 5 vs PSS).
If a Michelin LTX is ever in the running, the answer is LTX.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's like, the greatest all around truck/suv tire of all time for normal people doing normal things.

The brand "Scorpion" has become to Pirelli like "Pilot" has become with Michelin. There are too many radically different tires that all carry the Scorpion name, so that word alone isn't telling the whole story.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Just get whatever michelin fits your use case best. /thread
I like Michelin tires when in an available fitment.

I like the DWS06 for the S3; might get those again or Michelin's. The DWS06 is just noisy on the shitty (majority) parts of Deerfoot though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I like both the Contis and Michelin. I find the Contis wear better on my tow car and stay quieter.
