Tires Pirelli or FEDERAL
I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.
The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.
The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.
From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].
Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.
Never leave home w/o snows in the winter. Pirelli winter sottozero.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
Federal command 2.4s have been my favorite so far. Smooth center tread for good rolling and speed retention, but still have some tread on the side for banking and grind protection. Rubber compound they use is also getting softer with time/riding so they feel better the more worn in they get.
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
I run Pirelli Sottozero runflats every Winter, mostly highway driving, very happy with them.
I just run cheap studded federal himalaya ws2 (235/45/16) on 9x18 wheels. But im dealing with ice not snow.
Have the Pirelli Zero. I had to change 2 seperate tires in the past 8 months. Today I had passage front and rear pop. I believe they became very hot and was driving on a newly paved road which could have been hotter then nermal. I love my Tesla but the tires a dangerous and bad quality.
I bought a Golf GTI in April 2021. Car came with Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires, which seem to have fairly good reviews. My impression is that they're the lousiest tires I've ever had, and I've been driving since 1966.
