I'm running the stock Pirelli P7's that came OE on the car. Currently have 7100 miles. Pressure set to recommended 37 Psi. Tires are quiet and smooth around town and on most roads. Quiet at HWY speeds as well, except on concrete where they seem to drone a bit. No perceived harshness (to me) on nearly all surfaces.
I had the Nero Zeros on mine and went 40K just fine. Only at the last 10K did I start driving around with more racing and sliding etc and the tires got bald super fast lol for a daily they will be fine.
I'm on the Cinturatos and although they are a marginal tire the car is rock solid on the freeway.
Went with the P4 four seasons plus. the tires are night and day better than what was on there. Ride is smoother, much quieter, better wet traction.
I put Cinturato P7 All Season Plus's on my mother's Tiguan and overall these seem very good. They are noticeably quieter than my Michelins on coarse roads. Performance is good, but they seem to be wearing a little quicker than anticipated
Yup, OEM size on the Bristols. I was honestly just going to get the conti's again as the mileage I got out them was enough reason for me to buy. Then I found the P7s on sale and paid less for them than I would have the conti's. I was also curious to see if the low rolling resistance made any difference. I think it's a slight improvement, but the sound (I mean lack of) you can't compare.
I've been driving on the Pirelli P7 Cinturato's for 18k miles and have nothing but good things to say. There has been little to near visible wear to date and they grip, ride and handle so much better than the OEM Conti Pro contacts that I had...and I really liked them, got 71k miles out of em! The greatest difference so far seems to be the amount of road noise. The P7s are so much quieter it's not funny!
I haven't had any issues with vibration, but have noticed more road noise on my Pirellis after 20 K. Probably won't get another set.
Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.
Mine came with Pirelli Cinturato P7s and I hate them. They spin, hop, don't like to change direction but they do hold air and they are quiet. To their credit, they did not get worse in the cold however they weren't any good in the snow or ice.
