Tires Pirelli or Kumho
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?
Kumho tires are a decent brand.
I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.
What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.
The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.
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.
Hopefully Pirelli can develop a tyre that heats up quicker and slides less while cold.
No point going for the TO (Tesla original) models with a bit of foam in them, they claim this will reduce road noise but this really makes no differemce. If you want a quieter ride install some sound deadener pads.
I recently purchased 4 new Pirelli Tires at Sam's Club. The new tires fixed the loud humming, but now when driving highway speeds, it feels like the car (2018 Land Rover Discovery HSE Sport) is all over the lane, almost like the wind is blowing the vehicle around.
