Tires Pirelli or Maxxis
I'm running a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires. They've been really great in dry and wet, and were priced very reasonably.
I'm in Texas and we have concrete, not asphalt. So Pirellis have been my go-to on everything I drive. Great in wet weather, resistant to hydroplaning, good in hot conditions.
The PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS 3 XL is on my car. They had good reviews on TireRack, and so far, they have had no issues. I have driven 2000 miles on them, which are good on dry and wet. Grips well on the mountain roads have yet to take them to the track or drive in the snow.
Pirellis are the best handling and performance tires I've owned BUT that soft rubber that grips the road so well, wears out fast.
I use these and they work. As my service advisor says, they are aggressive tires.
Buy PIRELLI ... super comfortable and very very good tires - I've been trying several in 30 years of driving and nothing come close...
Adding my experience here too: I miserably struggled with those CRAPPY Turanzas on my Turbo 3 for almost 4 years, and I finally had them swapped out for Pirelli AS+3's. As crappy as Turanzas were throughout this time (leading to multiple replacements), I'm only now realizing in comparison how utterly awful they really are!
Right off the bat, steering is so much more nimble and smooth, I probably put half as much effort into steering now. Traction is worlds better, and the car runs a lot gentler, too. Don't get me wrong, 3T is rough by nature, but now it's gliding over the same bumps and humps compared to the death shocks from Turanzas (which by the way, got exponentially worse over time). There's a lot less understeering with Pirelli's now, and interestingly, MPG shows signs of improvement as well. So, count me in love!
I've had a good string of flats on my DTHs, but they're such a great tyre otherwise that I could never be mad at them. They're also so big and floppy they're a breeze to remove, unlike most "puncture resistant" tyres.
Had Pirelli P Zeros on my RS3, all 4 began cracking (3/4 years old). Purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres today, haven’t tested them in anger yet. Had them on my Mustang, managed to avoid putting it up a tree or into a crowd with the shitty UK weather.
Mine got Hard and Loud (title of my sex tape). Annnnyway... I replaced them with the Pirelli Scorpions and now I can actually hear the radio at low volumes. :)
