Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP
I’ve got Pirelli Sotto Zero snow tires. Rated comparably to Blizzaks. Do fantastic in snow; we had a foot in NE Ohio and I was silly enough to go out during it. Was fine.
Switched to Pirelli Angel GT\u2019s and love them. Great grip, long lasting and warm up quickly even in cold weather.
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've got the pzero race 4s and they're great. From the reviews I read they have great grip but lose a few watts of rolling vs the pure race versions. Still very fast though. Plus they installed super easily. I'd buy them again for sure.
I switched to Pirelli P Zero Race for a rig that\u2019s set up for speed and I am really loving it.
Stock mk8.5 with the stock p-zero all seasons, it's been icy, -10f to 15f, and a few inches of snow daily. Drove it through 8" of snow where my bumper was plowing snow. Pretty impressed. Most important thing is tires, I really wish I had snow tires. I have to drive slow and brake early especially with the ice. Luckily these tires seem to prioritize braking. If you don't turn or accelerate slowly they start to lose grip fast.
Shitty pirellis, cinturato, and I'm mostly fine.
I never cared for the run flats. They made the ride very stiff and chattery.
New Pirelli’s on an XC90 and I do slide a bit more than I’d have thought
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
