Tires Pirelli or Laufenn
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 run the P Zero RS. Like them better than GP5000 with the exception they are even harder to get on the rims
My opinion, Pirelli was at one time a very good brand if you were looking for a performance tire, in recent years though it seems that they have become complacent and aren't really trying to innovate and as such have become a mediocre tire company at best. But for a decent low cost tire, Kumho is a fair bet.
The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.
Anything Pirelli, nothing but hot ass garbage, I’ll run $40 Douglas tires before Pirellis.
I can tell you the Pirelli have a very low durability and are not recommended if you’re not planning to spend a significant amount of time on the track.
