The Pirellis are a tremendous improvement on dry pavement. I tried flooring it from a stop, and no wheel spin. Amazing difference. I haven't driven them in rain yet. I will say that they tramrail a bit.
They handle way better in turns. I didn't notice any loss in 4.1 average driving.
I have to say that the ions have been incredible. They’re quieter, they’re softer riding. They seem to have better handling… although to be honest, I’m not one that pushes the limits of the car so I can’t really say a whole lot about grip. I can’t say a ton about where yet because I haven’t had them lot long but I can say that I am currently averaging about 50 to 60°F for a temp and I am averaging 5.5 mi/kW at the moment doing mostly in town commuting.
I bought Kleber Dynaxer 5 SUV (225/55R18) based on suggestions here for quiet tire and am very happy with my purchase.
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
I made it to 53k miles before I replaced them with Hankook Evos!
Currently, running Phantom C-sports. Have 25k on these...and they are wearing o0n target to reach the 50k guarantee.
Everybody's complaining that they roll like shit. I'm sorry, is this the aero weight weenie sub or the fixie sub? The solution is stronger legs!
I always ride bulletproof tires like these (usually Continental or Schwalbe) around Brooklyn, because otherwise I'd have to change a flat once a month. Waste of time and money.
My Acura and GF’s Camry have Pirelli’s that we bought last year in April that are great. We bought a Highlander in November that had a set of new lauffen tires from Walmart. They have had 2 nails already. Bad luck, maybe. I’m convinced the tires are softer and more susceptible to damage.
I've had the Nitto trail grapplers, the Toyo AT/3 and now the Cooper Discovers. Toyos were the worse traction in wet conditions... no doubt.
