They work, I have them. Worlds better than the Toyos, which I struggled to get 35k out of.
Wow, must be driving hard. I have 27K miles on Toyos, less than 1/2 worn.
Regarding new Pirellis, how are they better? Ride, handling, noise, comfort? I assume they are nearly new.

Only if you consider 30 miles one way of straight highway driving hard...
Softer ride for starters, sidewalls aren't as stiff because they are more of a touring tire. Wet traction is WAY better. Road noise was OK with the Toyos, but the Pirellis are quieter. They are a harder tire, and I bought them more for the long run.
Yes, significantly cheaper.
Not sure why your Toyos wore out so fast, but it can happen no doubt. Most here haven't experienced that kind of rapid wear.
Good to know the Pirellis seem good so far. How many miles do you have on them? I will watch for your report when you have significant miles, these could be the best alternative 19" tire.
I checked TireRack... the OE Toyo's are $269/each compared to $170 for the Pirelli's. That's a no brainer right there!

Im at 6k? I think, I know I did them right before my 37.5k oil change, and Im just about due for another change now, so thats probably about right. Probably enough miles to get a good feel for them anyway.
The choices in 225/55-19 are limited, but more abundant in 235/55-19. I wasnt willing to take the hit on mileage and gearing to go up that much...
Agreed, that should be enough miles to assess most characteristics. The only other question that will come with 20K miles+ is the noise level increase when tires are well worn.
Yes, especially with a 2.0L I'm unwilling to change or increase tire diameter and take hit in acceleration.
I'd take Pirelli over Toyo anyday.
The .5 in Overall Diameter to go to the 235/55/19 would have been a killer in mileage. A 245/50/19 would be more in line for overal diameter. In that size, specific tire weight would be more of a factor for mainitaining fuel mileage.

Now that Im closing in on 50k, I thought this was worth updating to mention that there has been no change. Road manners are still excellent. Id absolutely buy them again.
I ended up buying the General AltiMAX RT43 for my minivan, absolutely wonderful tires for comfort, quiet, and good traction. Much better then Aquatreads from Goodyear used previously.
I am leaning toward the Pirelli SCORPION VERDE™ ALL SEASON PLUS for my CX-5 at this point... just waiting for my reviews to show up on tirerack

Well let's see. Is your CX-5 more likely to see sustained speeds of 149 (V) mph or 130 mph (H)? Sam's Club is playing "cover my ass". Costco does the same thing out here in the west.
