Tires Pirelli or Uniroyal
So a few weeks back I opted for Pirelli's P7 tires in lieu of the OEM. I wanted some more traction for dry and wet weather. With OEM tires I was usually between 4.6 kW and 4.4 kW depending on streets or freeway, now I'm about 4.4 kW on streets and 4.2 kW. And there is better traction and control. They are also more comfortable to ride on and quieter too. These tires are 100% worth it.
Went with the **Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 3** tires. Reasons were simple. Cheaper than OEM, better grip in wet and dry, quieter and not too big a hit on economy.
After a few hundred miles of mixed highway and city driving, I can say they are better in every way. The best part is the quiet nature of the tires. Softer hum on the highway, barely noticeable on the streets.
Overall, extremely happy with the tires.
Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.
I’ve had a set of Uniroyal - Tiger Paw Touring on mine and they have been great ! Good traction in the rain !
I was thinking about throw in the 195 on the front end the front end buying a pair of Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 (215/45/20) on the rear wheels.
I run an pirelli mt21 on the front because it's about the same aggressiveness on the tread, but has a softer rubber, so I can use the front brake with a little more confidence on-road.
I’ve been running pirelli P7’s for many years. B5 Passats, A4 and the tt’s.
I have these exact tires on my charger except mine are 18in. The tires are coming up on 4 years old with about 30000 miles on them and they are completely fine in everyday driving. If you don't really care about performance then they're fine. They're obviously not a performance tire but for being relatively cheap they are more than adequate in all temperatures and if you drive normally they're fine in the rain. The only time they're kindof sketchy is in snow but as long as you give yourself more time to react and you don't live somewhere super hilly they're fine, especially if your a4 is awd.
I hope Pirelli gets punished. It's not about the race really, they fucking crashed going 300km/h, so fucking dangerous.
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).
