Tires Pirelli or Maxxis
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
I've got the Pirelli P Race Zero tlr 28's and they are great tires... that seem more puncture resistant than the Vittoria Corsa Pro tlr's that I also have...
I like the pzero tlr a lot. I’m running 30s.
That Pirelli P4 is one of the longest lasting but hardest rubber they make. So not good traction but great for cranking lots of summer miles.
Theoretically, the Michelin will last longer and you can use tread ware warranty. My Pirelli lasted 26,000 si hoping to get more out of the Michelin.
I am all done with pirelli and will be buying a completely different set of tires. Currently 3/4 of the tires on my car right now have bubbles or bulges on the sidewall. Most expensive trash tires I've ever had.
My experience with minions as a casual rider in the DFL class of my local DH races is that they leak sealant out the sidewalls, don't have a good transition when leaned over, and tend to roll off the rim.
