Tires Pirelli or SUMITOMO
Just reporting first snow, 6", with Sumimoto 205.60.16 Ice Edge snow tires on 16"Austin wheels, GREAT. Soft tire, slows cornering cheap really grips, comfortable.
I have Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus for about a year, and 20k km (the passenger version not LT). I am pleased with them, because they have good handling. The grip on unsealed road seems satisfactory.
A few years ago I went to purchase Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires 225/45/18r at discount tire...they wouldn't sell AND mount for my Alltrack the Load Index Rating for that size is 91, they told me the minimum LIR is 95 for the Alltrack, they said it's a liability issue for them. I purchased Pirelli P Zero + and they are surprisingly great tires.
I have Pirellis, but I have the Scorpion All Season Verde. They are the best tires I’ve used so far out of the stock and some Continentals.
While others swear by Michelin and Continental, I've got Pirellis on my 2019 Sport GT. My rationale is that if Pirelli is good enough for F1, it's good enough for me. I also bought my winter rims and tires when I bought my vehicle, and Pirelli is what the dealer suggested.
I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.
I had Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ which lasted around 23000 miles. Now I am running Pirelli Scorpion Verde as they were on promotion and I saved over £100 on all four. Pretty quiet tyre and decent road grip, both in dry and wet conditions.
Thankfully they could install a new tire for ~$450 (Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S).
Had the Pirelli P Zero on my 2014 GTI when I originally bought it, and they were probably one of the worst tires I've had the displeasure of experiencing (esp. in the winter).
I have the standard Scorpions (10+ year old product at this point) on my Tig and they are trash. Loud as hell and don't wear well. Don't balance all that great either.
