Michelin Pilot Sport 5’s have transformed my car.
I’ve been running Michelin pilot super sport and 4s for almost five years and they’ve been amazing. They completely transformed the car, especially cornering.
I've had good luck with the Pirelli PZero (18")
Liked them, but wear was meh...
When I got my car last December, I ran the factory Yokohamas for the winter since they were brand new and it was already almost January. This year I bought a set of Michelin X-ICEs on steel rims. It's the first time I've ever been able to afford winter tires, and I definitely feel a difference compared to all-seasons.
The great white north here. Excellent traction in snow, and pretty good on ice. The benefits in wet and dry traction over normal winters for the times when it's not extreme conditions outweighs having dedicated winter tires. At least where I'm at.
I have the +3’s on my Challenger and I love them. Get them for the money
Also there are better summer tires out there, I recommend the Michelin pilot sport 4s or the new Continental that recently came out, they have amazing performance and last a long time.
The pirelli's are impressive tires, the tread life on them definitely isn't good, but performance wise they actually are very very nice. Sticky enough to hit the 3.0s 0-60 times of the quads, really surprisingly capable on light offroading, especially if you air down a bit, and surprisingly capable on snow.
I have the Pirelli scorpion at plus 10 plys with 60 000km so far they have been very durable, good in deep snow, about as good as you can expect for an all season on ice, good in soft ground / mud, decent on the highway under 120km/h but definitely fall short of the stock Michelins AT2’s I had on the highway.
Definitely notice the added weight and stiffer ride of the 10 ply’s. Tires are wearing well and I have not been gentle on them, expect them to last 100 000+ km.
The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
