On my Sportruck (1980 caddy)(winter beater) I had Firestone Snowbiter studded snows all four. 155/85/13 HONEST to GOD! this truck would leave well set-up K-5 4x4 BLAZERS wallowing in it's dust as soon as the snow and Ice hit.
Firestone Winterforce snow tires with studs! Now I have that satisfying clicky clicky back. And the ability to drive through all the snow and ice EVER. Sure, the handling on dry roads is absolutely garbage now, but it's more fun in other ways!
here in MN were we rally-x in fields, clay, and grass....I use 185/60/14 winterforces....I run intertubes in the fronts to avoid debeading.
After seeing the performance of Pirelli in WRC, and some of the direct massive pothole shots my OE Pirellis have taken, I'm impressed with them
I've been happy with my Pirell P-Zero Nero M+S... Good in cold, wet, slush, muck and even a few inches of snow... very good in the dry too.
My original Pirelli's were loud after 10K miles. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The Yoko's are very quiet with exceptional handling characteristics.
I love my PZero Nero M&Ss. They're VERY confident in the wet.
Car feel slippery, sway little left to right constantly when on freeway (I noticed it only does that when at high speed--freeway speed--especially when vehicle is running on those comb-lines cement paved.
I have the exact same problem with my tires. I also just got my 20,000 mile service done and they rotated the tires. I now have a lot of road noise from the front tires and even more vibration. At low speeds there's a loud hum and at 65 I still have steering wheel vibration. The vibration at 65 has been there since the day I bought it and as far as the noise the dealer told me I have to take it up with Pirelli. I hate these tires and would never recommend them to anyone.
I agree with the above poster; the Pirellis were less then impressive. Im at the end of the life of my 2nd set and have gotten 36K out of the 1st and 31K out of the second. They have cupped horribly, and consequently they are noisy as hell.
