Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE
For years I have been using 4seasons, but last year I decided to try something different and replaced them with Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR. Have been happy with these, my totally unprofessional feeling is that they are a bit more grippy than 4seasons.
I have them on my 356 (model CA67) and absolutely love them.
I run the 220tw PZero on my MK7.5 GTI. Nevertheless, a great tire. Plenty of grip, not bad in the rain and can take the abuse of the occasional track day- I’m really surprised as to how they can handle the heat cycle and wear evenly at the track. On the street- they offer more performance than you can throw at them. Daily driving, they don’t wear as quickly as you’d expect a tire in the low 200tw range to wear.
Reliable. 30k miles. No issues at all except for the Pirellis that were worn way faster than expected.
I will say that I've had a really good experience with the pirelli pzeros that I have on mine, they're super grippy.
Then installed brand new Blizzak winter tires, aired up to 36lbs. Next 3 tanks road tripping to Bend Oregon. Largest size Thule cargo box on roof. First road trip tank on the way down all rolling rural highway, so a lot of total elevation change. 24mpg.
So swapped out to an AWD Atlas, added new 17inch wheels with Blizzaks. It's a remarkable set up for winter driving, incredibly confidence inspiring
I'm running Bridgestone re71r on my daily driver. Even with the low power and light weight I'm already down to 5/32 out of 8 after 4 months.
My car came with Pirelli P zeros from the factory. They were awful. Run Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics now and they are much much better. Especially in the wet.
My car comed from factory with the Pirelli's P7 and, as others have pointed out already, they wear faster than others brands (at least compared with Bridgestone, Dunlop and Continental) and they badly cope with water. Really scary shit if the road is even a little wet. Not recommended.
