Nokian (any of their winters), Blizzaks (any of their winters), michelin x-ice or General Artic winter tires are the 4 brands that I stick to for winter tires. Nokian is hands down the best, Blizzaks and Michelin are a real close 2nd and 3rd and the generals are a solid budget tire that I used to run on my 240sx in ottawa way back in day. (I currently run General Grabbers on my pickup and they are better than the bfgoodrich that are nearly 100$ more a tire).
I currently have General Altimax Arctic, studded, on my 2013. So far they have been great, but we will see how they go in deeper snow.
I've had the Pirelli's on my Touareg for about two years now, lots of highway and towing miles. I've put around 12k miles on the Scorpion Verde's and love them. Very responsive and no road noise. Haven't had any issues in wet conditions
S/O's Tiguan has those Pirellis and I can't say anything bad about them. Quiet and comfortable and handle all situations well.
I recently replaced model 3 tires to pirrelli, they are quiter and the ride is smooth.
I ended up getting the Pirelli Sottozero 3's (winter) back in 2018. They've been great for the last two winters. No idea how the summer tires do but would definitely buy another set of their winter tires if I needed to.
Got lucky and read this info somewhere years ago when I bought my 15. Pirelli Winter Sottozeros 3's, the thing is unbelievable in any type of inclement weather.
I honestly look forward to swapping to my downsized 205/55 16 winter tires (GSW) because they're noticeably less harsh and quieter than the stock 45 series Pirelli P7s on rougher roads.
I don't know what everyone else is doing but I'm coming up on 25K on my 2014 with 255/19 p-zeros. The fronts are 70%... not even close to giving up. The rears... well, they're about 30% but that's not the fault of the tires.
Yep they are an outdated tire. I hated them on my 2012 Mustang GT.
