Tires Pirelli or Sailun
I run Pirelli winters on my Mk8 in Canada and they are fantastic.
I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.
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.
The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.
I used to have Pirelli Scorpion tires for a different SUV and those things wear out soo fast because they’re meant for handling and have a very shallow tread
My audi came with the Pirelli's and they stink in the winter. Replaced with Michelin and it was a huge difference.
The Verdes came stock on my xc90 and they were terrible in inclement weather. It was a total game changer in the rain and snow once I upgraded to the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 based on a recommendation from a friend.
