I have the pirelli's on my truck, no snow here so can't speak to that but I've done everything from going up a mountain in them to driving across town in them, about 10k miles on them and they look the same as when I got the truck, on road is good and I've never been stuck off road in mud or sand so just my piece to add.
I have a friend who’s dad put the Pirelli’s on his Ram and he’s happy with them.
Bought these tires for my Mazda 3 after one of my OEM Bridgestone EL440’s got pregnant(sidewall bulge), and I plugged a puncture in the other one. Decided to just replace the tires completely.
So far I’m happy with them.
Pros:
- Severe snow rating so they are legally snow tires in my state(for mountain passes and stuff), and I’m guessing the snow traction is way better. They are still all season tires though.
- Seems to be a softer ride overall even on the stock 18” side.
- XL sidewall strength, vs the stock tires being standard. Should help with those sidewall issues.
- They seem fairly quiet as far as noise.
- $150 rebate in addition to being fairly cheap
Cons:
- These are definitely not for those people who want sporty handling, they don’t really feel like a sport tire, and are more of a touring road tire.
- I’ve heard the treadwear isn’t the best(makes sense with the snow rating)
I had the Bridgestone Revo 3 in my last truck and they did great. And they have a 60k mileage warranty. I got 70k out of them. Before my truck was totaled. Probably had another 15k on them.
I’ve run Blizzaks in Colorado the past two winters. They’re pretty good but I’m digging the Michelins more and more and will probably replace them next winter
With any car including the Kia Niro EV. It's always the best bet to go with Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzack. They're the highest rated and I have driven them on snowy, hilly roads and they seem to have the best grip.
Not sure your price range, but I have Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3’s on my Q5. Really quiet as far as road noise. Love em.
This is a bit of an old thread, but I use these on my 07 civic. The tires themselves are very capable (30k miles on them now, and I'm looking to replace them, so somewhat underwhelming tread life.) When I push the limits of traction, they are very predictable and feel confident, even in rainy conditions. I get lots of road noise, but that's almost certainly due to the car itself, not the tires.
F1 tires make me so angry this season. In at least 50% of the races they are waaay too durable, like you could do a 0-stop race. Because Pirelli are a bunch of cowards who are scared to death of races with 2 or more stops
Honestly I think it's bad business for Bridgestone to ship such crap tires on this vehicle, since it's turned me off from buying any Bridgestone tire in the future.
