Tires Pirelli or Maxxis
I have Pirelli Scorpions All Season tires on my car. They have done well in CT snow for the last 3 years so I just got a new set.
If you don’t have much snow I would recommend Pirelli Cinturati All-season SF3. They are brilliant.
Always been a fan of the Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts, they perform better in the rain IMO. While I know you may be thinking, \u201cbuddy I\u2019m not riding in the rain\u201d, you will be hitting little creeks or riding on wet grass every so often.
I run maxxis ravagers 700x40 they take a beating and actually roll way better than they look like they would.
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.
The sipes on the Pirelli tire are not full depth. I found that out when I had a set of AS2s. Great for initial testing and reviews, however, after they wear out, they basically become summer tires. Just something to consider.
If you drive conservatively, they might last. If you drive a performance/sports car and you like to drive like you have a pulse, then they won’t last very long, you’ll want more than they can provide, and they love to squeal like a pig.
I used to work for Benz as a tech. Nothing but problems with Pirelli. They has become a shell of what they used to be. Total garbage but still a high price tag. I’m a Michelin fan if you can stomach the cost. Continental or Bridgestone as alternatives.
I have a 2024 Hyundai sante fe. (SUV)
With Pirelli tires scorpion MS 245/45 R21.
Not even 6k on the car and the sidewall bubbled.
