Tires Pirelli or NITTO
I’ve got Pirelli P-Zeros on my RS5 since the previous owner put them on recently before selling and I have to say that they are actually good despite what some people say. I actually felt like they handled better than the PS4S on my fathers old A45 AMG and while it might be down to the car I still am not disappointed.
In most cases, I buy Michelin. My best wearing tires are Pirelli P4s, but I can't find the size I need for my current car.
Big brands like those are all fine for a daily driver crossover.
My personal favourites to mount are Bridgestone blizzaks, and have had wonderful results on my dad's rwd BMW E46 with Pirelli ice zero fr.
Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice
I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.
I have them installed on my m50i and just tried them out today in the snow/slush/ice. Excellent grip overall, no sliding or wheel spinning.
I replaced the Pirellis on ours due to excessive road noise at about 50,000 miles. Had plenty of tread life left but I was tired of the noise. Went with a Nitto tire that was an improvement over the Pirellis but will probably try a Michelin on my next set
My tires look the same on my CPO that I got 4 months ago :(
Mine did this within 10k miles.
