New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!
Bought a separate set of winter wheels, sensors, and tires (Vredestein Wintrac Pro) from Tire Rack. Otherwise just regular maintenance. Driven over 65k miles so far, almost all of it chasing snow throughout New England.
My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.
I think the pirelli’s are great tires.
ive had a great experience with the vredestein quadtrac pro. caveat that it was purchased for its snow/winter capability but in the dry and rain its been very solid too
I personally bough VREDESTEIN HYPERTRAC tires from there and I am having them installed by Express Tire Saline (1st time customer).
Pirellis are the best in my opinion. The edge grip on Pirellis is the most progressive and consistent ive found, Im able to control the slide on corner exit a little better off the edge of the Sc1s/Sc2s than I am with any of the others.
I got 40,000 miles on the stock Falkens including snow and ice with conservative driving. Replaced with Pirelli Cinturado Strada "all season*"225/50/r17 from Discount tire for slightly larger tirewheel and wider tire (1/4" more clearance, a liffle more float in sand) but mostly the 70,000 mile warranty. I calculate (by gps and road markers) this gives me about 103% on miles (ie speedo reads a bit low) and I can feel the lower torque vs before. Def a harder compound than the Falkens, so I dont drive as aggressively in corners.
Anecdotal, but I have Perelli Scorpions on my suv and will never get Perelli again. They wore unevenly and well short or their mileage and Perelli basically gave me the finger when I contacted them about the warranty.
Pirelli tires weather crack fast.
