I swapped my Goodyears for 50mm gravel king x1+. I love them and they have been really versatile.
Right now I'm getting by this crazy amount of snow, ice, and low temperatures with the stock perelli p-zero all seasons. I thought they would be bad but they are some of the better all seasons I have had in the snow. Although I find them to be quite lackluster in the dry and wet, so it makes more sense.
I’ve got Pirelli Sotto Zero snow tires. Rated comparably to Blizzaks. Do fantastic in snow; we had a foot in NE Ohio and I was silly enough to go out during it. Was fine.
Switched to Pirelli Angel GT\u2019s and love them. Great grip, long lasting and warm up quickly even in cold weather.
having come from three sets of PS4’s in a row on a track-prepped IS-F, I’ve loved the stock PZero’s. Great feel, turn in, and they’ve been pretty quiet. Hell, they even got me around Austin in the snow and ice the last 2 days. Very impressed, especially considering it’s a “summer” tire.
Looks like I’ll get about 20k out of them too, not as bad as folks have warned.
That all said, they sure are pricey!!
I run 225/40r18 Pirelli Sottozero 3. I hate the idea of trading dry and wet performance for better snow traction especially considering that I have proper UHP summer tires that need to be off the car when it’s already below freezing at night but during the day it warms up a lot. They’re not bad in the 2 recent snow storms that we’ve had, I only got stuck once but that’s because there’s was like 20+ cm in an unplowed parking lot.
Stock mk8.5 with the stock p-zero all seasons, it's been icy, -10f to 15f, and a few inches of snow daily. Drove it through 8" of snow where my bumper was plowing snow. Pretty impressed. Most important thing is tires, I really wish I had snow tires. I have to drive slow and brake early especially with the ice. Luckily these tires seem to prioritize braking. If you don't turn or accelerate slowly they start to lose grip fast.
New Pirelli’s on an XC90 and I do slide a bit more than I’d have thought
I did the pirelli EV tires. So expensive, minimal gains over Michelin or others. Don't do it just don't do it. I'm not convinced EV tires aren't just another way to upcharge for tires.
The only sour note was that the factory Pirelli P6s were garbage, replaced three of them by 10k mi due to sidewall knots, broken belts, etc. Plus they were useless in the rain.
