I went w Pirelli All Season UHP in standard size and they are exceptionally good in dry, wet, “wintery mix” and snow. This is my sixth German AWD car, from Audi, BMW and Merc and by far the best in dry and snow conditions.
These tire/wheels were purchased from Tire Rack in the early spring of 2025. Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractive with approx 4,000 miles Size: 245/45/18, XL rating, no repairs Borbet Type W Machined face with gloss black accent Size: 18x8, 5x112, +40, 23.5 lb each, with Tirerack TPMS sensors Black lug bolts, bolt covers and VW OEM emblems installed. Borbet emblems also included. As new condition.
My old '94 Blazer, shod in her Pirelli Scorpions, wrap around rock bars, Vortec V-6. Unstoppable.
I use the p3's, good tire it just has a lot of road noise and not amazing in the rain
Switched to Pirelli Rosso 4 and the problem went away almost entirely.
I had 35mm Gravelking Slicks and now 40mm Pirelli Cinturato H. I miss slicks, the Cinturator H has noticeable knob rumble on smooth tarmac. I don't know if they're actually any slower but they feel at home on rougher surfaces.
oh and for the love of god, get rid of the stock Pirelli and get some Michelin which have more robust rubber.
When it comes to tires, I have had Pirelli. They don’t last what they say that they are supposed to, even with regular rotation.
Pirelli deserves A LOT more criticism for what they're doing. No tire should last almost the entire race distance, ever.
Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.
The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.
Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.
I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.
It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.
