Tires Pirelli or Sava
I’ve got Pirelli P-Zeros on my RS5 since the previous owner put them on recently before selling and I have to say that they are actually good despite what some people say. I actually felt like they handled better than the PS4S on my fathers old A45 AMG and while it might be down to the car I still am not disappointed.
In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)
In most cases, I buy Michelin. My best wearing tires are Pirelli P4s, but I can't find the size I need for my current car.
Big brands like those are all fine for a daily driver crossover.
My personal favourites to mount are Bridgestone blizzaks, and have had wonderful results on my dad's rwd BMW E46 with Pirelli ice zero fr.
Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice
I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.
Pirelli Sotozerro. There is only snow on the ground for maybe 5 days total but for the rest of winter I want anything BUT the loud highway drone of Blizzaks
41000 miles on scorpions and reddy for replacement
Not the answer to your question, but I just wanted to add that when I got snow tires (Pirelli Sotozero- avoid them) I also got a set of closeout 18" wheels. Having the extra sidewall when you hit potholes and/ or ice chunks helps save the rims.
