Tires Hankook or Pirelli
I run the pirellis p zero 4s and love them comfortable and roll really well.
Yes, I had the Hankook New Englander 205/55R16H for about 4 years on my Mazda 5, and they had just over 60k miles on them. I liked them enough to buy the same thing again. I'm in Massachusetts and they feel great in all kinds of New England weather. I do a lot of driving to work including highway and city. They are grippy in rain, snow, sleet and every combination even at highway speeds. I did get a bulge in the sidewall and kept driving them the last 5-10k or so, even though I knew better. (Don't do this even though it never popped on me.) There was still a little wear left on them, but you have to replace a tire with a bulged sidewall, so I got all 4.
Opposite datapoint: I run Pirelli Race TL Rs 700x30s on my Gen 7 Madone (tubeless FWIW). Way more comfy than the OE 25s (R3) and faster.
If you want fast and durable, Look at Pirelli Cinturato Velo.
The new UHP tires on the block: Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3.
Tire rack as well as Tyre reviews put themselves above the DWS06.
PS4 AS FTW. 166k miles on my GLI (bought it new) and after couple sets of Pirelli Cinturato P7s… it’s a brand new car again. Unbelievable.
nasubukan ko na yung dalawa, mich and pirelli
same lang kapit ng dalawa.
mas makunat lang mich
10k palit na ako sa pirelli.
.20k sa michelin naman.
Wife’s Audi came with Pirelli’s they seemed ok but we did switch to Michelin when we switched wheels. The Pirelli’s only had 5k miles and seemed to have an odd wear pattern. Much happier with the Michelins
I had two cars that had pirellis, a VW GTI and. Corrado G60, I found them to be super stiff and prone to blowouts if I hit a pothole, hell it seemed like they’d blow if I saw a pothole! Pirelli got crossed off my list 25 years ago
Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
