Tires Pirelli or IRONMAN
I fitted the same tires this summer on my Audi A5. UK, Essex. Very pleased with them for now, done about 3000 mls on them. My only concern about this tires is life expectancy.
I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.
They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.
I have an SUV with these tires I live in Luxembourg so the weather is more the least identical and I went on holiday to Portugal in the summer I caught very hot days on a very motorway and they are still very good.
I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).
GP5000 S-TR are a bit lighter/thinner than PZero Race - thus LESS puncture resistant.
so, stick with PZero Race ;)
Pirelli makes great sport tyres, but they wear out unbelievably fast.
Pirelli tires are not perfect. But at least gives better and consistent feeling on the front according to the riders. But their compounds tend to wear more compared to michelin.
I know this is an old thread, but I looked up this issue because I just got new tires put on the Tesla Model Y Performance. I am having a very similar issue so I thought I'd look it up. Ironically, the tires I'm having questions about are the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3s.
Michelin's. You already know the Pirelli's don't last. The next set won't be any better (speaking from experience).
Just got the Michelins put on this morning. I got 32,000 on the Pirelli’s and could have gotten a few more had I been better at rotating, no complaints on wear but they suuuuuuck in snow.
