Tires Pirelli or NITTO
I have the sottozero 3s and they are really damn good in the dry for being a snow tire. Almost as good as a set of performance all seasons while being way better than all seasons in snow.
If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.
My 35” Nittos lasted 6 years, probably could’ve been a year or two longer if it’s wasn’t for a huge nail
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
Pirelli Sotto Zeros on 18s stock 245-40-18. Feel decent on corners and still sporty for me but gives me piece of mind for snow driving in winter
I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
Currently running Pirelli P7 AS3 Plus on my 19' S60 on XC90 18" Takeoffs, ride pretty quiet, good wettraction. Haven't had the chance to try them in snow yet since I got them in the spring, but they have about 20k on em now and still have plenty of tread left.
I have the nitto 555R2 radial, and STILL spin from a street dig, but overall they handle well while mostly having traction.
Honestly, the Pirelli Scorpions kinda suck. I just passed 20k on our Badlands and there is no way these tires will make it to 30k. Performance is also just mediocre.
41000 miles on scorpions and reddy for replacement
