I recently put HPAS 205/50/15 Nitto Neo Gen on my NB since i’m on a budget. So far they’ve been much better than expected. They grip significantly noticeably more than what the previous owner had (ironman tires.) they grip to the point i struggle to throw the rear out without kicking it. Last tires I could cut the wheels and just hit it and the rear would slip out but with these even flicking it doesn’t want to break out. They’ve been performing great in corners as well, I’ve been able to take some 10-20mph faster without worry.
i just replaced the stock tires with pirelli a/s whatevers on mine and i was Shocked at how much quieter it is. before on the freeway i had the volume at 30-35 but now 20-24 feels like an equivalent volume
I run Pirelli winters on my Mk8 in Canada and they are fantastic.
Went in for touch up woolwax undercoating yesterday and put on some new Nitto Terra Grappler 3s to replace the factory tires last week.
I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.
Personally go with nitto ridge grapplers .. they are fantastic on the highway not loud.. very comfortable… also though they are amazing in sand and off road dirt/mud. I bough the ridge grapplers that you can easily get 50-60k miles with normal rotation..
I have a 22 and the pirellis were awesome at first but definitely did not last. There’s a reason they have no manufacturer warranty. They are performance tires. Rubber is soft and wears faster.
I've had the P7s and Continentals on my 2010 Mercury Milan and 2007 Subaru Forester. The Continentals were better on the Milan, the Pirellis were better on the Forester.
Just got the Michelins put on this morning. I got 32,000 on the Pirelli’s and could have gotten a few more had I been better at rotating, no complaints on wear but they suuuuuuck in snow.
For example, my mercedes came with the worst runftlat tires from Pirelli. Those run flats felt like shit after 10k miles. Unusable and felt dangerous at 14k. Replaced at 15k when costco had proper non runflat tires from Michelin.
