Tires Pirelli or NITTO
Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires
Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.
Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.
I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.
I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.
I use the new Pirelly Cinturato Winter 3 since like a week or so - they stick well, feels comfortable and silent on the highway too (at least until like 170 km/h, that is way over the speed limit here). More silent than the Michelin summer set.
I have nitto ridge grapplers and they do pretty well. I don't get a lot of snow where I live but they do decent in mud
It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.
I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me , in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
Yeah these are the worst tires I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and notice this HS starting last year. I’m in Chicago area. Then.. last week i hit a pothole when it was pretty cold(that wasn’t even that bad of a pothole) that caused my side wall to tear. The durability on these tires is pathetic.
