Tires Pirelli or Continental
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Pirellis. We’ve got 13,500 miles on them since November. All four tires were at 7/32 when we crossed 10,000 miles.
Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.
Why is Continental nowhere on this chart?
I have their tires in all my cars and they are pretty good
One of my Pirelli P zero non-runflat tires hit a nail couple weeks ago. The tire shop also told me it was not fixable. I fixed it using the Slime tire plug kit for $10. Running fine for a few months already.
The front looks ok but I also just got contis and put them on even with some life left on my old specialized.
I think a premium tyre is definately worth it. Michelin or Continental will outlast, be quieter, grip better and improve economy over all budget and most every mid range tyre.
I got Meineke to repair my stock model Y tire before and it held up nicely, after I replaced both of my Teslas with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus and I haven’t look back, no foam and you can’t even tell a difference in road and they are awesome for significantly less money per tire, plus they have indicators to tell when to replace for Dry, Wet and Snow conditions. Will only use these tires moving forward on my vehicles.
I've also replaced the worn original tires with Pirellis that I keep fully inflated, much smoother quieter ride than It got with the original tires and maybe getting a little better with the new tires.
My experience with Pirellis in the past, great wear and performance but horribly noisy after about 20,000 miles, to the point I replaced a set on my old Touareg long before they needed it because they were so annoying.
I have a Genesis G80 with ProContact tx's on it and they're garbage. I'm on my second set after 3000 miles after MFG warranty. They caused vibrations and failed road force balancing.
