Tires Pirelli or Achilles
I honestly look forward to swapping to my downsized 205/55 16 winter tires (GSW) because they're noticeably less harsh and quieter than the stock 45 series Pirelli P7s on rougher roads.
Achilles atr are great and stretch very well for the price. Also running federals now but they run a lil wide
Hi everyone, I just got an e-Golf a couple of months ago and wanted to upgrade my wheels. I ended up with the Belverdere GTi TCR wheels as they're supposed to be the lightest stock 18 that VW do. They came with Bridgestone Potenzas on them that have an E fuel efficiency rating and they drop my miles/kwh from 5 on a careful run to 3 on a careful run. After hunting online, I found a set of Pirelli P7 Blue Cinturatos, which are rated A for fuel efficiency and got them fitted. I'm now back up to 5 miles/kwh with careful driving.
I run Achilles atr sport 2s on everything super cheap pretty good grip on dry. Could be better in the wet but even in the rain in my 350z with no driver aids I’ve never once felt unsafe due to tires
They are very good tires. I have run them on a GLI, Passat GT, Golf R and two Audi A4’s. They are really good on dry cold pavement. Low road noise. They do very good in snow, rain and bad weather. They do OK in deep snow. They are performance winter, so they will handle very well.
I have those Pirelli’s on my Focus and they are very quiet and pretty comfortable.
Hitting 30k on my set on my 2015 Mazda6 rotated at every oil change (7k miles). Go ahead and pay less. You aren't cheaping out.
Thankfully they could install a new tire for ~$450 (Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S).
My Mustang came with those and I do not recommend driving on them at below +5c degrees. I drove at 1-2 degrees and the car felt very loose and slidy when turning, even at lower speeds.
I own a few cars that I have P Zeros on. Forget snow, when it's below about 45F or so they don't hook up, when it's below freezing they're hard, and when temps are in the single digits/teens they're downright scary.
