Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
I would say stick with Michelin’s. Best combination of grip, comfort, road noise and tread wear. Based on experience Pirellis and Contis tend to wear out faster (P Zeros), Bridgestone is so so.
I ordered the same style rims in satin black 18” on T Sportline last week w/ Michelin X-Ice Snow.
I run the 220tw PZero on my MK7.5 GTI. Nevertheless, a great tire. Plenty of grip, not bad in the rain and can take the abuse of the occasional track day- I’m really surprised as to how they can handle the heat cycle and wear evenly at the track. On the street- they offer more performance than you can throw at them. Daily driving, they don’t wear as quickly as you’d expect a tire in the low 200tw range to wear.
Reliable. 30k miles. No issues at all except for the Pirellis that were worn way faster than expected.
I've had these for about 16,000 miles. 2 Wisconsin Winters and a summer. I am still extremely happy with them. OP nailed the Winter/wet portion. To add- whether warm or cold out, they perform more like true summer tires on dry pavement. I highly recommend them.
I just put the CC2’s on my 18 GSW 4motion. I couldn’t be more pleased! Performance on wet road- exceptional. Snow- not quite as good as a dedicated snow tire, but damn close. I’ve rallied up the canyon to Alta on snow packed days, not once did they get squirrelly.
I've had experience with both and while both are absolutely fantastic the Michelin tires felt like they warmed up a few minutes faster and handled the rain a bit better.
I will say that I've had a really good experience with the pirelli pzeros that I have on mine, they're super grippy.
I drive my RWD performance summer tires in sub freezing temps when it’s dry out, WITH caution. It will be like using hard plastic tires. No sudden shift in weight please!
Yeah, I did actually try a set of P-Zeros on my Fiesta Zetec S. They were shockingly bad in damp conditions and, ironically, wore out very quickly. Wouldn't recommend.
