Considering new tires for Honda Prologue AWD Elite

[Kimiko]

A friend picked up a Honda Prologue AWD Elite and loves it, except for the OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires. She is looking to replace them with Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires, which are all-weather and 3PMSF rated. If anyone has thoughts or recommendations, She'd love to hear them

The Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires are a great all-weather option! The 3PMSF rating means they’ll handle winter conditions better than regular all-seasons, so they’re a good pick if she’s in an area with snow or ice. The ride might feel a bit stiffer compared to the OEM Bridgestones, but the improved traction and durability usually make up for it. Overall, they’re highly recommended for year-round driving! They’re a bit pricier, but in my opinion, they’re worth it for the peace of mind in all-weather driving.

Yeah, the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires sound like a great choice for all-weather performance. They should offer good traction and durability.

I guess the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive tires wins, I like the 3PMSF rating for winter conditions. I’ll pass this along to her

Hi everyone. Kinda off topic here, but wife says a lot of people on a Facebook Prologue group are complaining about the Bridgestone tires, especially in snow. Well, as luck would have it, the KC metro is getting blasted today (01/05), and we have snow covered streets. At this point, my neighborhood has seen 6 or 7 inches, and the streets are NOT getting plowed. Anyway, I took her Prologue out this morning and it did OK! I even went up a hill (street) that had not been plowed since maybe overnight, and the car made it up with no issues. I did get on the “gas pedal” a bit, and the car broke lose, but I quickly got her under control. So from this driver’s perspective, the tires held up in the snow.

By the way, we’re leasing, so no plans to buy better tires. KC maybe has one or two snow storms per year, so I’m not too worried about. I am curious to see how these Bridgestones wear. Some have said they wear pretty quickly. Take care all!

Thanks for the real life experience! I had heard the Bridgestones were crap in snow and ice and was concerned. I live in VA, but volunteer as an adaptive snowboard instructor at local ski resort (Wintergreen) where there is occasional snow on the mountain roads. I'm also leasing, so not interested in investing in new tires for a new car.
I did read that in general, EVs typically do better in snow due to better weight distribution and the sophisticated traction controls. Sounds like there is no need to worry too much!

You bet Chris. I hope my info helps. By the way, we ended up getting about 1’ of snow here at my house. I hope to take the Honda back out soon. The streets are still not very good. By KC standards, this one was a doozie of a storm. I’m sure Colorado folks are like “meh”. Lol.

Thanks for sharing your experience, have you noticed any changes in the ride or handling as the tires wear, especially with snow or wet conditions?

@Kimiko, no issues thus far with wear, as we’ve only had our Prologue for a month.
