Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE
Have been running 215/45r20 Potenza S001's on my i3s for a year or so and no wobble at all. If anything, feels more planted, and power transfer feels more immediate, though that may be my imagination.
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!
Get Bridgestone Blizzak WS-90 for cars, DM-V2 for SUVs. Don't buy "performance" snow tires, they aren't real snow tires.
7k is nothing? My bridgestone A41 last 30k miles (front) or 15k miles (rear) when commuting.
I have a 2015 GSX-S750 that I've run Bridgestone T30/31 for many years. Solid dry performance, decent wet grip and long life.
Every time this gets shared, I feel obliged to say that the Superhard tyre was never brought to a race weekend. Makes you wonder why they developed that tyre in the first place.
I just bought an F150 with pretty new Pirelli tires. My old one ran Michelins. The Pirellis just don't ride and perform nearly as good.
I am sure Pirelli makes plenty of good tires but I was shocked how terrible the OEM P Zero summer tires were that came on my 2016 mustang. Equivalent summer tires from both Michelin and Continental were quieter, had better grip when hot, had better grip when cold, and performed better in the rain.
