Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
I would suggest Michelin Defenders, my JSW had them on for 35,000 miles and look great when I traded the car back to VW.
Well i went from 18s to 17s last winter... Originally i bought a set of Pirelli Sottozero3 225/40/18 on 18x7.5 wheels (might have been x8 i cant remember). The traction in cold was unreal and amazing, the price was not.
Bought Michellin Pilot Sport 4s for my 06 2.3L (figured why not spend a bit more because you don't really buy tyres often)
I'm very happy with them so far.
I had Pirelli tires on my car when I first bought it.. Some new all weather performance tires and let’s just say it was quite scary if there was even a little water on the road. I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S tires and they have been absolutely fantastic. Rain, shine, or snow the grip levels are very high, blow Pirelli out of the water. There have been instances in the snow when I feel the Michelin tires have saved my life. With the Pirellis, I would not even consider taking the car out in the snow. I drive a Mustang GT.
I had Pirelli p6000 for my 1st gen Clio 1.8, I loved them, I knew about the fact they last not as long, but I loved having so much grip.
Not because of F1, but when I bought full winter rims/tires I had Scorpion Ice & Snow for my X5M. They worked very well actually, and with the combination of the vehicle and those tires I never had any issues in the snow
I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires. Ever.
Over the last 20 years I\u2019ve liked Michelin the most for normal daily driving, they tend to be pricier than comparable brands but when you factor in balance, noise, traction, and wear I\u2019d say I prefer them.
Thankfully they could install a new tire for ~$450 (Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S).
The PP p zeros don't last very long under any driving conditions, and they are expensive. There are a lot of cheaper summer tires that'll last as long or longer, look at the hankook ventus v12
