Tires Pirelli or Cooper
Pirellis have the most grip.
Pirelli rears are stupid good and tell you everything they are doing or will do plus the slides are much more controlled.
2020 gtr I threw on Pirelli P zero A/s+ a week after buying the car, they’ve been working great. No complaints and driving spiritedly is a lot more controlled
Having read all that above, I must say I’ve replaced multiple sets of tires and ride my 959 pretty aggressively on the street through the north central PA mountains and have never had a grip issue. I use Diablo Rosso 3s and get about 1500 miles from a set
I\u2019ve had no complaints with the stock 18\u2019 Pirelli P-zeros that came on the SE, especially how well they handle snow.
PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS II.
I do a decent amount of gravel or clay road driving with some but less sand too. Decided to go Pirelli Scorpion A/T plus and there's been no issues at stock hieght.
I've had these on for a few days, so I can't give a comprehensive review, but here are my first impressions.
The 70,000 mile warranty was the biggest selling point here. These are 700AA on the UTQG scale, so much harder than the 400 UTQG Continentals that I'm used to. I expected stiffer feel over bumps and louder road noise since they don't have foam, but these actually seem softer and quieter. The traction is noticeably worse in dry conditions, haven't tested on wet roads. I got them to spin out from a stop, but maybe that was just breaking them in, because now they don't seem to lose traction. The biggest downside is the reduced steering precision. These have a very wavy wandering feedback to inputs, my friend says it may be 'tread crawl' from having thicker treads than the old ones. The Continentals felt like a scalpel on winding roads, these are more like a rubber scalpel.
I need to try a few more situations, like rain, but I think I'm going to end up liking these better because the increased comfort is more useful to me than the performance.
Here’s the thing though: for me, F1 is the worst advertising for Pirelli. Max’s tyre blowout in Baku and blowouts in Qatar, etc? Michelin, here I come!
Anecdotal, but I have Perelli Scorpions on my suv and will never get Perelli again. They wore unevenly and well short or their mileage and Perelli basically gave me the finger when I contacted them about the warranty.
