When the GP 5000's came out, it was a first for me. I actually wrote to Conti to tell them how good they were.
Switched to Pirelli Angel GT\u2019s and love them. Great grip, long lasting and warm up quickly even in cold weather.
I just bought these as well, have about 1,600 miles on them. So far slightly less efficient than the stock Continentals (expected), but a quieter more comfortable ride - which was my goal.
Now, I have vikingcontact8 tires which are also amazing.
having come from three sets of PS4’s in a row on a track-prepped IS-F, I’ve loved the stock PZero’s. Great feel, turn in, and they’ve been pretty quiet. Hell, they even got me around Austin in the snow and ice the last 2 days. Very impressed, especially considering it’s a “summer” tire.
Looks like I’ll get about 20k out of them too, not as bad as folks have warned.
That all said, they sure are pricey!!
I have continental dws06 plus all seasons and haven't had a hiccup. This car has treated me surprisingly well in the snow
Here in the UK I replaced mine about 2 years after the last set were installed. Car averages about 11000 miles per year. The previous ones were Bridgestone Alenza I think. I went with the Pirelli P Zero NCS for the 22 inch rims. I cant tell if they are quieter but handle well.
They rebalanced the OEM Continentals with some improvement, but they still vibrated. I replaced the tires at 36k with Pirrellis (sp?). Some improvement with the vibration but still.
I did the pirelli EV tires. So expensive, minimal gains over Michelin or others. Don't do it just don't do it. I'm not convinced EV tires aren't just another way to upcharge for tires.
The only sour note was that the factory Pirelli P6s were garbage, replaced three of them by 10k mi due to sidewall knots, broken belts, etc. Plus they were useless in the rain.
