Best Tires for the Honda Pilot

Tire performed great for about 20k miles in the Laurel Highlands. After that, still plenty of tread but suddenly handling on snow and Ice was BAD. If you can afford a tire that only goes 20k miles, then these are for you. After 20k, get rid of them or you will be slipping around and having handling issues on snow and Ice,

I bought these tires 245 / 50 R20 for my 2021 Honda Pilot Black Edition - quite frankly because they were the least expensive tires on the market. It's been a week today since install, I've already put over 1000Kms highway on the them with some inner city driving as well. So far, I'm impressed with them, the ride is generally the same as the stock touring tires I replaced. With the exception of a little tiny bit bumpier of a ride, Barely noticeable. The cornering performance is great, dry weather is fantastic, they handle the rain like any other much more expensive tire and they were cheap! cost break down for 4 new Zmax Zealion tires for my Honda Pilot with install was $680 Canadian all in. I 100% could have purchased two sets of these tires for the cost of one set of any other brand on the market. As I am in a northern climate I will not be driving with these on in the winter. I've already purchased a set of 4 ZETA ANTARTICA 6 tires and rims to swap out in the fall. (which are another good set of tires by ZETA).

The grip and wear over time are fine, but I can't get over the noise these tires make on my 2012 Honda Pilot. Wow, it is a real distraction. Will be looking for something new.

I have had many tires on my vehicles, this is the overall best tire. Over 100000Km Have had these tires in the worst of snow storms and the hottest of days...rain, sleet and ice. I will be replacing them with another set of Toyo Celsius CUV. Does what it says it will do.
