Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP
I only rode budget tires like Pirelli P7 Sport (35 mm) and Continental Ultra Sport (32 mm). Both tires have the same width, but the Pirelli has a kevlar bead instead of wire.
I just went out on my P zero Road tires for the first time yesterday and was plenty happy with them.
We replaced our right away and got the pirelli weatheractives. They are 100x better and great in the snow.
I have the CC2s. They are incredibly sticky in snow especially compared to the stock Pirelli
I went with P-Zeros and I'm insanely happy with them.
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 had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
The Dunlop summers? Yeah they're terrible lol. Basically useless under 40 degrees as they turn rock solid and no longer grip the road
