Tires Hankook or Pirelli
I have the sottozero 3s and they are really damn good in the dry for being a snow tire. Almost as good as a set of performance all seasons while being way better than all seasons in snow.
If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.
I actually like the Hankook ion as so far, quiet 10% more range, and comfortable vs Conti and seem to handle well.
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
Pirelli Sotto Zeros on 18s stock 245-40-18. Feel decent on corners and still sporty for me but gives me piece of mind for snow driving in winter
I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
I tracked my 95 Miata with original, stock, 26yr old suspension with 200tw hankooks and endurance racing pads, roll bar and 6 pt harnesses was all I ran for the longest, and keep up with faster cars in intermediate/ occasionally advanced in my 95hp, 2750lb car
The 2021's come with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season, not too bad as they work well enough in snow, washed out gravel roads and rain but they squeal a lot in turns would like a bit more traction.
Noticeable worse grip in the wet.
On my I30N from the UK.
Switch from p zeros to ps4s
They're pretty bad... There is no reason I should be chirping in any gear in a straight line... these just are not good tires. Handling is solid but straight line or wet leaves a lot to be desired.
