Pirelli run flats for the win I’ve absolutely sent it with these tires and they grip amazingly
We had two incidents on the freeway where a nail punctured the tires and had to buy new tires and went with Pirelli. After switching the tires we noticed a huge improvement in handling and noise. Toyo tires are very loud when driving especially on the freeway.
I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.
The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.
The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.
From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].
Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.
Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
Hankook RS4s have my recommendation if you're not going to compete in sanctioned time attacks where prizes are on the line. I value tire longevity rather than saving one or two seconds per lap with a theoretical perfect racing line(not something that's bound to happen often).
My 2017 Beetle S came with the tires specified immediately below...Hankook Kinergy GT...Originally, tire wear appeared to be proceeding well...After the 16,000 mile service...I noticed the centers of two tires...to have lost the siping \u2013 classic over-inflation indicator...Recently at 19,000 miles I noted the front tires...had lost the center siping \u2013 again signifying over-inflation...I am not particularly surprised at the center wear as I think a load index of 95 is fairly high for this vehicle...I cannot imagine 60,000 miles for these tires.
Have the Pirelli Zero. I had to change 2 seperate tires in the past 8 months. Today I had passage front and rear pop. I believe they became very hot and was driving on a newly paved road which could have been hotter then nermal. I love my Tesla but the tires a dangerous and bad quality.
For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
