Tires Pirelli or KENDA
Some light tires like the Kenda Small Block 8. A small knobby tire that works great on the street.
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 ;)
I am about 2 seconds off pace of what I was on the falkens comparing my self to other drivers that I would be trading blows with. I will say I like the kenda alot for street driving and wet weather traction how ever it seams they are about 2 seconds off the pace of the Bridgestone.
I used to have Pirelli Scorpion tires for a different SUV and those things wear out soo fast because they’re meant for handling and have a very shallow tread
I replaced mine at 27k miles. They were wearing very fast so it was barely early, but their snow traction is so bad i didn't want them for another winter. Awful tires.
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.
