Tires Pirelli or Giti
I will die on this hill saying these are the single best tires I've ever used that are still "DOT" tires. Loads of grip for street riding, warm up in one lap, super predictable on track and the level of grip these offer just bar none has any right having a dot stamp. The corner drive I can get on them on a 1k is mental for what they are.
I found some Pirelli P4’s for sale on tirerack years ago and the treadlife on them is absolutely insane, and my car is able to take corners better than any Prius has the right to
Compare to my Pirelli Pzero they are BETTER. Better steering feel, as silent, road holding don't see a f... difference, definitely more grippy on acceleration and braking.
I also have a set of P-7's on my 2018 Bolt, excellent traction and very good in the wet. Have only put 5,000 miles on them but they don't seem to be wearing as fast as I would have thought.
So a few weeks back I opted for Pirelli's P7 tires in lieu of the OEM. I wanted some more traction for dry and wet weather. With OEM tires I was usually between 4.6 kW and 4.4 kW depending on streets or freeway, now I'm about 4.4 kW on streets and 4.2 kW. And there is better traction and control. They are also more comfortable to ride on and quieter too. These tires are 100% worth it.
Went with the **Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 3** tires. Reasons were simple. Cheaper than OEM, better grip in wet and dry, quieter and not too big a hit on economy.
After a few hundred miles of mixed highway and city driving, I can say they are better in every way. The best part is the quiet nature of the tires. Softer hum on the highway, barely noticeable on the streets.
Overall, extremely happy with the tires.
Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.
My Mustang came from the factory with P-Zero summer tires and I too can confirm that they are pretty "brittle" and lacking in grip until you get a lot of heat into them.
Reason I Found this out is one of the NEW giti tires busted a side wall and had to go buy a new tire already after only 4500 miles and when we left the tire shop the TPMS came on so we took it back to check the tire pressure and he said oh you just have to reset it
I also have now learned that GITI does have an y factory warrantly with their tires..they dont stand behind them. Now I now its not THEIR fault or fault of dealer but my wifes 2018 passat new to use 4500 miles ago had a belt let go in a brand new less that 4500 miles and has a bulge dealer say giti has no warrantly of any kind so its all out dime. I will definately change these out when they wear out.
