Tires Pirelli or GT Radial
The pirelli's are impressive tires, the tread life on them definitely isn't good, but performance wise they actually are very very nice. Sticky enough to hit the 3.0s 0-60 times of the quads, really surprisingly capable on light offroading, especially if you air down a bit, and surprisingly capable on snow.
Not sure if it’s just a difference in driving habits, but I just got my OEM Pirelli’s rotated with 30,000mi on them and I am still at 6/32 all the way around. R1T Quad, mostly highway, All Purpose (never use Conserve), Standard height. I feel like I’m the only person who likes the OEM Pirelli?
Just yesterday, drove all the way to Madtracks Auto Center to get some GT Radial tires installed on our pickup. The sales team was pretty accommodating and the mechanics were very kind. We used Giti and GT Radial before when we were in Indonesia, so we're confident with the brand and were pleasantly surprised on how cheap they are compared to the competition. If you're on a budget but don't want to compromise, I'd definitely recommend the brand.
As mentioned the old tires were shot with 2016 date stamps and cracks all over. Replaced with a set of Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus tires aka the cheapest legit all-season tire ($99/ea). Car drives much better now and will be much safer once the rains return.
I got the P Zero AS+ and they've been nothing but amazing so far. I'm in Canada as well.
I’m going against the grain here and saying they’re great tires. I had a set of p4 all seasons on my wife’s car and they’ve lasted 40,000 miles and all sorts of weather extremes.
Pirellis are the best tires for my 98 camry. Through the years, I've bought Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Michelin tires for my black beauty. Pirellis are by far the quietest and nicest riding tires I've ever had on the car.
I have 10k on the Pirellis. Haven’t checked remaining tread yet, but they’re decent. Only gripe is they track on grooved pavement.
My Acura and GF’s Camry have Pirelli’s that we bought last year in April that are great. We bought a Highlander in November that had a set of new lauffen tires from Walmart. They have had 2 nails already. Bad luck, maybe. I’m convinced the tires are softer and more susceptible to damage.
Had Pirelli P Zeros on my RS3, all 4 began cracking (3/4 years old). Purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres today, haven’t tested them in anger yet. Had them on my Mustang, managed to avoid putting it up a tree or into a crowd with the shitty UK weather.
