Tires Pirelli or Uniroyal
If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
Been pleasantly surprised at how good they are. Car handles as well as it did with stock tires. They have 65K mile warranty. They also are not louder than stock tires.
Pirelli Sotto Zeros on 18s stock 245-40-18. Feel decent on corners and still sporty for me but gives me piece of mind for snow driving in winter
I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
Currently running Pirelli P7 AS3 Plus on my 19' S60 on XC90 18" Takeoffs, ride pretty quiet, good wettraction. Haven't had the chance to try them in snow yet since I got them in the spring, but they have about 20k on em now and still have plenty of tread left.
I'm on my third set of Pirelli Scorpion AT plus tires. IMO it's a wildly underrated tire. I put a lot of highway miles on my Forester, and while I haven't done any wild 4x4 stuff, they've never left me stranded.
I think they’re a little quieter than Pirellis, as my dad has the Pirellis on his and I think his has more road noise.
I have 21s.
- I’m at 13k miles and will have to replace them at ~16k miles
- I drive the truck hard, but expected to get more than 16k miles…
I have 13k miles on mine and am down to the yellow replace tires soon line on my tread depth measurer.
