So a few weeks back I opted for Pirelli's P7 tires in lieu of the OEM. I wanted some more traction for dry and wet weather. With OEM tires I was usually between 4.6 kW and 4.4 kW depending on streets or freeway, now I'm about 4.4 kW on streets and 4.2 kW. And there is better traction and control. They are also more comfortable to ride on and quieter too. These tires are 100% worth it.
They are 255/60/19 flalken wildpeak AT. They ride great make no noise as well. The only downside is the weight the difference in brake feel is night and day.
New tires for the touareg pretty happy with how they look. Although the brakes are much stiffer from the additional weight.
As the final installment in the decade-old 615 line, this tire blends a nice mix of dry and wet performance, with solid wear characteristics. A little loud on the street, but it’s right at home delivering lots of track laps or autocross runs.
Went with the **Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 3** tires. Reasons were simple. Cheaper than OEM, better grip in wet and dry, quieter and not too big a hit on economy.
After a few hundred miles of mixed highway and city driving, I can say they are better in every way. The best part is the quiet nature of the tires. Softer hum on the highway, barely noticeable on the streets.
Overall, extremely happy with the tires.
Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.
I was thinking about throw in the 195 on the front end the front end buying a pair of Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 (215/45/20) on the rear wheels.
I ran those Falkens for my first year in my Miata, running E-Stock. IIRC my pressures were closer to 30 PSI, +/- 1-2 PSI. I found that the Falkens got greasy once they started getting hot, so I switched to ZII's for the following season which had a much more predictable traction progression.
My car came with Pirelli P zeros from the factory. They were awful. Run Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics now and they are much much better. Especially in the wet.
My car comed from factory with the Pirelli's P7 and, as others have pointed out already, they wear faster than others brands (at least compared with Bridgestone, Dunlop and Continental) and they badly cope with water. Really scary shit if the road is even a little wet. Not recommended.
