Tires Pirelli or OEM Volkswagen
These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.
Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.
I was thinking about throw in the 195 on the front end the front end buying a pair of Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 (215/45/20) on the rear wheels.
I run an pirelli mt21 on the front because it's about the same aggressiveness on the tread, but has a softer rubber, so I can use the front brake with a little more confidence on-road.
Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.
I’ve been running pirelli P7’s for many years. B5 Passats, A4 and the tt’s.
Gen 3: Ran Pirelli Angel GT and GT 2 and recently fitted a set of Road 5.
The GTs will out grip your skill level and performance of the bike in my experience. I've thrashed them on nice South African twisties and they just didn't want to let go.
I don't know what everyone else is doing but I'm coming up on 25K on my 2014 with 255/19 p-zeros. The fronts are 70%... not even close to giving up. The rears... well, they're about 30% but that's not the fault of the tires.
Pirelli tires weather crack fast.
Not sure about the Vredesteins, but I will say that I hate Pirellis. No issues with wear or performance, but they are unbelievably noisy after about 20k miles. I probably could have gotten another 10k out of them, but replaced them due to the noise.
