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 got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.
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.
My rear is the Pirelli mt66 and 12.5 lbs. negated that with 54 tooth sprocket. Still lost a few miles. 45 down to about 35 but the acceleration was recovered but still not as punchy.
Bridgestone Runs flats on my x7 last about 16k miles.
Not the answer to your question, but I just wanted to add that when I got snow tires (Pirelli Sotozero- avoid them) I also got a set of closeout 18" wheels. Having the extra sidewall when you hit potholes and/ or ice chunks helps save the rims.
