I run Pirelli winters on my Mk8 in Canada and they are fantastic.
I got around well with Summos in the winter on my Mazda 2
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.
It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.
The tire in your picture is damaged from an impact like a pothole. You can see the rubber transfer on the rim. I have a Calligraphy with 21" wheels, and the OE Pirelli is $653. They are foam lined and offer a quiet ride, but i will definitely be replacing them with a Michelin or Continental as soon they reach 4/32nds. The replacement tires will probably cost half as much as OE.
I dumped the stock Pirelli’s as they were basically falling apart. Huge chunks torn out of the curb bump the tires had. Switched to Continental and traction/handling is so much better (‘23 GT1)
They are ass, also already replaced 2 of them because they got bubbles on the side.
Had to replace them on my 22 K5 as well because they had already gone bald in places by the time of my first inspection
