I’ve winter-driven my F82 a couple seasons now, and the SottoZero 3s are honestly solid they’re not as ice-grippy as the Michelin Alpin 4s you ran, but they hook well enough in packed snow and feel way more stable than you’d expect on a big-power RWD car. The only thing I noticed is the Bridgestones feel a bit firmer on cold pavement, but nothing crazy.
I have the Pirelli CInturato SF3 on two of my cars and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 on one of them, and the better tire by far is the Pirelli. On dry roads the Pirelli works better, it does it's job very well at any speed. Where the Pirellis really shine though is in the rain. They work very very well, I have not felt any aquaplaning, and they really work surprisingly better than any tires I have had before.
I’ve been running the Pirelli Scorpion AS3s for about 15k miles and they’ve been great. Live in New England and they handle all seasons beautifully. They run smooth, quiet and they fit the racy feel of the CX5. Tread is also holding up very well.
We moved to Sailun eRange tires on our Leaf. They have been fantastic for efficiency and holding up well.
I took my FWD hybrid through a lot of western Carolina roads during hurricane Helene on the stock scorpions and had no issues and never got stuck but saw a few jeeps get stuck on stuff I had no problem hopping over.
I swapped out my first set of Pirelli A/T at 22k miles because the tire noise was driving me insane. They still had tread left and probably would have lasted to 30k but I was so sick of the tire noise, which got very loud around 15k.
Tbf to Pirelli, after Silverstone 2013 they’re scared shitless for another debacle
I eat set of p-zeros in 6k mile on my car
Right now I have Pirelli P Zero / P Zero Nero in 245/40/18 on the stock wheels. I feel the car isn’t very precise in corners — probably because the sidewalls are too soft.
I'm ready to move on from my screaming Pirellis.
