Tires Pirelli or BFGoodrich
These tire/wheels were purchased from Tire Rack in the early spring of 2025. Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractive with approx 4,000 miles Size: 245/45/18, XL rating, no repairs Borbet Type W Machined face with gloss black accent Size: 18x8, 5x112, +40, 23.5 lb each, with Tirerack TPMS sensors Black lug bolts, bolt covers and VW OEM emblems installed. Borbet emblems also included. As new condition.
My old '94 Blazer, shod in her Pirelli Scorpions, wrap around rock bars, Vortec V-6. Unstoppable.
I use the p3's, good tire it just has a lot of road noise and not amazing in the rain
Switched to Pirelli Rosso 4 and the problem went away almost entirely.
i once rode my 40mm P Zero Race TLR on gravel all day on 15 psi and no puncture. built like a tank.
I just swapped my Pirelli's (22" OEM) for winter tires.
My Y with Soto zero 3s gets about 280-300 on my commute where I normally get 210-240 wh/mi with summer tires. It’s an increase but 500 seems excessive even with a heavy foot
When it comes to tires, I have had Pirelli. They don’t last what they say that they are supposed to, even with regular rotation.
Pirelli deserves A LOT more criticism for what they're doing. No tire should last almost the entire race distance, ever.
Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.
The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.
Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.
I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.
It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.
