My Pirellis got very noisy at 20K and were badly cupped by 30K. I wouldn't recommend replacing them with another set of the same tire. I put Bridgestone RE 970AS Pole Positions on my GTI and have been very happy with them so far. They had the highest ratings on Tire Rack, just edging out the Conti Extreme Contacts.
Highly recommend Bridgestone ecopia tires had 2 sets on the Prius lasted 60k each,handled well,and gave good efficiency
Bridgestone Potenza S01 Pole Positions or RE050A are far superior...
I'll run mine 'till the wheels fall off. It's been relatively trouble free - most all problems were fixed while it was under warranty. Front pads & rotors were replaced twice, latest at 30K. So far, so good, but the rear pads are ready for replacement now - will replace rotors also.
Kumho tires and Nexen tires are 2 chinese brands I highly recommend. I have both on my vehicles. Kumho on my car,Nexen on my truck.
For example, Maxxis MA-Z1's cost me $135ea and last about 30,000kms, but the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's on my car at the moment can get about 60-80,000kms, but cost $185ea.
I had the WS-50 on my Miata (came with it) and they were fanfukintastic in snow and ice but lasted about 20,000 miles total before turning into slippy dangerous banana peels while still showing 6/32 remaining.
Last winter I made the switch from studded Pirelli Winter Carvings to studless Bridgestone Blizzak WS60s... I was extremely impressed with them. Worked great in the white stuff.
I've always just used Blizzak WS-50's but they do have a squishy sidewall. The Blizzak WS-60 or Revo 01 is a lot better. The Nokian Hakkapelliita's have a better sidewall too.
I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
