Tires Pirelli or BFGoodrich
Pirellis are the best handling and performance tires I've owned BUT that soft rubber that grips the road so well, wears out fast.
I use these and they work. As my service advisor says, they are aggressive tires.
Buy PIRELLI ... super comfortable and very very good tires - I've been trying several in 30 years of driving and nothing come close...
Adding my experience here too: I miserably struggled with those CRAPPY Turanzas on my Turbo 3 for almost 4 years, and I finally had them swapped out for Pirelli AS+3's. As crappy as Turanzas were throughout this time (leading to multiple replacements), I'm only now realizing in comparison how utterly awful they really are!
Right off the bat, steering is so much more nimble and smooth, I probably put half as much effort into steering now. Traction is worlds better, and the car runs a lot gentler, too. Don't get me wrong, 3T is rough by nature, but now it's gliding over the same bumps and humps compared to the death shocks from Turanzas (which by the way, got exponentially worse over time). There's a lot less understeering with Pirelli's now, and interestingly, MPG shows signs of improvement as well. So, count me in love!
IME the bfgs will probably ride better than the generals but both would be decent
Living in Wisconsin, I will be swapping out the OEM summer tyres with Pirelli Sottozero 3 winters. WINTER SOTTOZERO™ 3 235/35R19 91V XL AUDI - Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires are designed for maximum safety in all weather conditions.
Love mine! I’m getting 2.20mi/kwh. With oem Pirellis, I was getting about 2.0mi/kwh
Ko2 = great on rocks and most trails. Pretty bad if the trail will get muddy and clog up the tread blocks. <10k miles relatively quiet. 10k-40k loud Nearly indestructible though even with lots of sharp rocks. Neve punctured one. Lots of balancing problems. Thank 4wheelparts for free rotate and balance. AT3W= Similar experience in most terrain. Maybe mildly better on packed snow but id say it's a wash. Quieter over all for highway driving mine have about 30k on them now.
Pirelli PZeros came stock on my Mustang GT and they were awful. They used to break loose all the time, I thought about trading the car in the first year because it handled like shit. Then I found a screaming deal on a set of Michelin Pilot Sports so I swapped them at 9000 miles. Night and day difference, it’s like a different car now.
Around here they dry rot like crazy. Also the people we installed them for complained of ride quality issues and noise. The ones we sold the most was the Cinturno Scorpion and the PZero and most people who bought them switched to either Michelin or Continental because of price and warranty.
