Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
in the summer i swap to 22” range wheels with pirelli scorpions and get 2.1 to 2.7 mi/kw. so best case scenario, i’m getting 380.
The Pirelli gives the nicest overall ride, with a sporty steering input. The continental gives the most overall grip and is best in deep snow (4+ inches). The Michelin feels the sportiest, But you feel every minor road imperfection.
Just get tires with more protection, like the Pirelli Cinturato Velo.
My stock tires of pirelli scorpion ms are fantastic but I have around 500 miles on the odometer. No complaints so far and seem quiet
My next set will be Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both tirerack and tyrereview rave about the good blend of traction, comfort, and wet capabilities.
I swapped out my first set of Pirelli A/T at 22k miles because the tire noise was driving me insane. They still had tread left and probably would have lasted to 30k but I was so sick of the tire noise, which got very loud around 15k.
Tbf to Pirelli, after Silverstone 2013 they’re scared shitless for another debacle
I had Ultragrip Performance G1s on my Kia and they were a pretty bad experience noise-wise, so I'm hesitant to go with Goodyear again.
We are on the original launch edition pirellis on our R1S (20” wheels) and I can’t stand the noise either.
Every Goodyear tire I have owned was pure shit. A set of Ling Longs would have been better. So premium price, not premium tire?
