Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
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.
Hi everyone, I just got an e-Golf a couple of months ago and wanted to upgrade my wheels. I ended up with the Belverdere GTi TCR wheels as they're supposed to be the lightest stock 18 that VW do. They came with Bridgestone Potenzas on them that have an E fuel efficiency rating and they drop my miles/kwh from 5 on a careful run to 3 on a careful run. After hunting online, I found a set of Pirelli P7 Blue Cinturatos, which are rated A for fuel efficiency and got them fitted. I'm now back up to 5 miles/kwh with careful driving.
I used VCDS to recalibrate the speedo after swapping tires from Dunlop SP Sport 225/40R18 to Pirelli Pzero 235/40R18 rubber. Best I could achieve was with Distance Impulse Number 7 (stock was 6). Couldn't select a higher number, VCDS reported 8 as out of range and that was the highest option available. The difference over an extended period of testing was only about 0.5 MPH closer to what two GPS units were reporting. Meh.
Lexus seems to have a really bad habit of putting bare minimum shit tires on their CPO vehicles. They put new $100/tire shit Goodyear LS2 tires on both my '13 and '15 GS...
rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
