Tires Pirelli or Falken
Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
I have the Pirellis on my car and the Generals on my small SUV. Honestly, I like both of them although the SUV goes on dedicated winter tires while the car stays on the Pirellis year around and just stays parked on bad snow days. The ride quality on both is great although the Pirellis may be just a little quieter overall. Tread wear on each has been negligible over a year now so hasn’t been a concern. I used to have OEM Michelins on the SUV which quickly wore out of course and Bridgestones on the car which while a good tire had a very harsh ride quality. The next time I replace tires I’d have no hesitation going with either the Generals or the Pirellis, it will probably come down to which is a better deal at the time.
Still rocking the stock AT Pirellis with plenty of tread left too.
I'm running a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires. They've been really great in dry and wet, and were priced very reasonably.
I'm in Texas and we have concrete, not asphalt. So Pirellis have been my go-to on everything I drive. Great in wet weather, resistant to hydroplaning, good in hot conditions.
The PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS 3 XL is on my car. They had good reviews on TireRack, and so far, they have had no issues. I have driven 2000 miles on them, which are good on dry and wet. Grips well on the mountain roads have yet to take them to the track or drive in the snow.
In my experience, P-Zeros were great at first, but got slippery really fast, even when there was plenty of tread-depth left.
Well pirelli p4's where the lowest grip tires in rain and snow I've ever used even though they are 'all season'. Fwd cars should not do a 360 on snow at less than 15mph in a gentle turn. Never had that issue with any other brand of all seasons even in worse driving conditions.
My alfa came with pirellis p zeros, changing to Michelin ps4s was like discovering a completely different car. The previous owner of my AMG put some Pirelli P zeros on it for whatever reason. Car is awd but the tires can't handle a simple pull from a light.
