Tires Pirelli or Kumho
Have done about 200 miles on the Pirellis, and the difference is night and day with everything. Noise, grip, stopping, etc...
The Pirellis are an excellent tire . Great in the rain and snow plus handle very well in all weather.
I got the scorpions after getting an irreparable flat. They’re not much quieter but man do they stick to the road. I really test the friction with my driving habits
I also got the Pirellis. Fantastic tires. Much quieter and smoother.
Um I got my x3mc with p0's pz4 and I love them because there is no sideflex in them, you really only feel the suspension working and not the tire, so very darty steering if you will.
For wet and dry all year (no snow) it is the Pirelli PZ4 or the Michelin PS4S.
For a car that is not driven a lot I would go for Pirelli SF3. They wear relatively fast but otherwise are great allraound.
My Thruxton R had Diablo Rossi Corsa stock tires. The belts were showing by 3500 miles, (they are a tire designed for track use) If you’re looking for high mileage tires, the ones I feel really meet that criteria are the Michelin Road series tires. Amazing in the wet / cold and the compound is very good for upright riding for daily driving.
Wow, that can explain quite a lot why my Pirelli's are squeeking by sharp turns, even slow driven thru, are unsrable on wider turns and got bad grip.
I have had this same problem with these tires on my XC60. I had the tires warrantied through Pirelli the first time and they replaced all four with new tires, same model. Not less than a year later I started having the same issues.
