Tires Pirelli or Barum
If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
Pirelli Sotto Zeros on 18s stock 245-40-18. Feel decent on corners and still sporty for me but gives me piece of mind for snow driving in winter
I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
Currently running Pirelli P7 AS3 Plus on my 19' S60 on XC90 18" Takeoffs, ride pretty quiet, good wettraction. Haven't had the chance to try them in snow yet since I got them in the spring, but they have about 20k on em now and still have plenty of tread left.
I'm on my third set of Pirelli Scorpion AT plus tires. IMO it's a wildly underrated tire. I put a lot of highway miles on my Forester, and while I haven't done any wild 4x4 stuff, they've never left me stranded.
I have Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus SL tires on my F150 right now. I haven't noticed much of a difference in ride quality, noise, or fuel economy. I towed a ~6k lb trailer about 1k miles round trip and they did great. I've had them out in downpours and a few inches of snow and they're much better than the old tires were.
I think they’re a little quieter than Pirellis, as my dad has the Pirellis on his and I think his has more road noise.
I'm a model 3 performance owner and when my original Michelin PS4Ss wore out I had a problem because there were no Tesla spec tyres anywhere. I ended up finding some Pirelli P Zeros that were the right size but without the foam and since everyone seems to say the foam doesn't make any difference I figured what the heck, they'll be fine. They weren't. The tyres droned terribly, especially on smooth roads where the previous tyres with nice and quiet.
I had P-Zeros but they were shocking in cold/damp weather, depends on your geography but if it’s going to drop below 5 degrees C, then don’t get them.
