Tires Pirelli or GENERAL TIRE
General Grabber HTS60
Good reviews on tire rack and consumer reports and more affordable than Continental Terrain Contact H/T or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S although slightly less mileage warranty.
New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!
General Grabber AT2's but they don't make my size anymore so this will unfortunately be the last set for me. Great tires though.
GMAXs are great budget tires but for only $150 more, the A/S4 are definitely worth it.
I’m a fan of general grabbers AT. Decent price and they’ve always lasted me. Plus the added bonus of 10ply if you haul trailers often.
My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.
I think the pirelli’s are great tires.
Had them on a Camaro SS a few years ago. Only snow tires I've ever used so I can't compare them to anything. I wasn't impressed, they weren't terrible but I expected more in deep snow. No complaints on dry or wet pavement.
I have the standard Scorpions (10+ year old product at this point) on my Tig and they are trash. Loud as hell and don't wear well. Don't balance all that great either.
I forget what there were called, but I had Pirelli snow tires on my previous XC60 and absolutely hated them. Very.. wishy-washy unstable feeling. I replaced them with Blizzaks and will never own another snow tire. The Pirelli was just not as quality as I wanted it to be. Poor life, poor grip, poor dry pavement feel and LOUD.
