I notice some of the new GTIs at my dealer are coming with pirelli P7 tires vs the P zero. P7s are grand touring tires. I have them on my car and handle and ride great and theyll hopefully last longer than usual. Theyre cheaper than Mich. too. Ive bought cheap tires, mid range tires and expensive tires before and the P7s seem to be the best so far. Id recommend them. Plus, Ive purchased p zeros before and dont remember them being all that great. I am very happy with the p7 grand touring tire so far. very quiet and smooth.
Finally got back to the car this weekend to have the tires switched out from the conti to pzero. Much happier with the Perilli. Can certainly tell the stiffer sidewall, feels like it did with my original oem tires.
I have Verde's on my 14... ran terrific in snow and now in summer, grip excellent. I love them!
I had them on my old B5 A4 and liked them very much. Didn't get great mileage out of them. But they handled very nice. I have a 2012 SEL and don't much care for the Pirelli tires on it now. Yes, they are only 50% at 21500 miles. which is good. But in the rain I think they get very slick. Don't have the confidence for spirited driving when wet out. Which the DWS's work well in.
I've been very happy with Discount Tire, they've worked with me in the past on pro-rating tires, etc. These tires have gotten me through 10+ inches of snow this year three or four times plus a night of driving on pure ice on the highway home from work at midnight when it was -13 and salt wasn't working. I'm very positive on these tires!
I've pushed those achilles so hard and there is still practically no wear! still trying to make these fit proper, some more fender rolling is needed.
Never felt that way on pavement, but on those metal bridges sure, almost every tire I've ever had does exept the G-forces or the slicks on my m3. I actually really am happy with the Performance and life of the Pirelli Scorpion's. I've got 13,000 miles on mine and at 10/32s on the hot Florida roads thats awesome. Deff not worth switching out.
I have the same problems with my p zero neros also. Right at 70 mph that steering wheel jitters. It's not bad, but somewhat irritating. I have had the tires balanced and rotated twice, but the jitter remains. It does seem to be getting better with mileage however. I must say though, these are by far the best all season performance tires I have owned.
From my experience, when the pirellis start to go, they suck quickly. Didn't realize how bad noise / vibration was @ 20k until I got new Hankook v12s.
i also get this! my car has 20k and I am ready for new tired my pirelli are crap! hopefully that fixes the issue...
