Tires Pirelli or NANKANG
Just got these same Pirelli tires on my 2016 EX-L. So far they’ve been great :)
New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!
My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.
Nankang worked well for me
I think the pirelli’s are great tires.
I have nankang ar1s on my mclaren 12c. Great track tire
Pirellis are the best in my opinion. The edge grip on Pirellis is the most progressive and consistent ive found, Im able to control the slide on corner exit a little better off the edge of the Sc1s/Sc2s than I am with any of the others.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon
I have those on my Mustang right now and they have no where near the performance of the outgoing P Zeros.
