I have had no complaints with the Pirellis, but wondering what this crowd thinks is the best choice. I'm still using the original rims on my 2023 ST.
...my local Ford dealer recommended Michelins, but they're a little pricey.

First off welcome to the forum. There are quite a few threads about this subject. I’ve heard good things about Pirelli WeatherActives, and you can’t go wrong the Michelin PS4 A/S. Continental also makes a great tire also.

The WeatherActives may be one of the best all season tires out there. The Micheline A/S4 are a better high performance tire and not good in winter. I've had both.

Not gonna lie, I love my Michelins most of the time. I will agree they are not great in snow. Barely adequate but adequate for a seasoned winter driver.

A great budget friendly tire would be the Falken Ziex CT60 A/S.

The PS4 A/S did well in the heavy snow IMO. I do agree they are more performance oriented, if it’s just a grocery getter then Pirelli WeatherActives are a great option. I just love the PS4 A/S. I’ve driven them everywhere from Colorados heavy snow to corner carving on the backroads, and I love them.

I went with the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV, Got 20k miles on them now and still looking great, quiet, budget friendly, and perform pretty well.

I'm actually thinking of going down to 20 inch wheels.

There are more choices for tires. They're cheaper also.

I figure I can sell or trade my 21 inch rims.

If anyone has any 20 inch rims, I would be interested.

Thanks!!
