Tires Pirelli or Nexen
For tires, I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 tires for my GLI and they are really good. They beat the DWS06 tires in Tirerack and Tyre Reviews testing.
I have some Nexen Aria AH7 all season tires on my old Subaru Outback wagon. They have been great tires but they are aging out so I need to replace them.
They’re solid mid range tires. Have run them on an elantra and they did the job (still currently installed).
I just took off my winter tires from 2017 that have had less than 10k km use during 6 winters. I put on a pair of pirelli sf3 on the front and my old 2020 primacy 4 on the back. The car, a toyota auris feels SO much lighter and happy to turn and so, so much quieter.
Nexen is a very reputable mid-range tire manufacturer... In general along the same lines as Cooper, Falken, General, Kumho, and other mid-tier brands quality wise. They have arguably the best warranty in the industry, including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer (in the US at least).
If they fit your needs and the price is decent, is take a chance on Nexens.
You can get the nexen roadian HTX RH5 for $155 each from tires-easy right now. They should perform fairly well and be safe on the road.
All new Pirelli Cinturato C3 on 19 inch are amazing. They are quiet, super gripy and predictable. And the sidewall is really cool.
Every time this gets shared, I feel obliged to say that the Superhard tyre was never brought to a race weekend. Makes you wonder why they developed that tyre in the first place.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
They have great grip, but they have insane pricing and terrible wear. The stock pirellis on my SRT GC lasted only 13k miles. I get 30k+ from everything else I put on it. The pirelli cost $600 each. My current nittos were under $300 each.
