Tires Pirelli or Vredestein
Went with the new Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. Seem to have decent ratings but it’s a brand new tire so time will tell I suppose. Only thing I can say right now is that they are much quieter than the original tires were. The Goodyears were obnoxiously loud at 90km/hr or higher.
After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300
I bought a set of Pirelli P zero AS plus ELEC and have found their snow handling solid and excellent overall handling on curves and in rain. Very quiet as well.
I had them on my wife’s XC70. They’re a pretty good tire.
I recently put 19” Pirelli Scorpion on my Model 3. Look sick and run quiet. Gets a little rough over 90mph.
I have the sottozero 3s and they are really damn good in the dry for being a snow tire. Almost as good as a set of performance all seasons while being way better than all seasons in snow.
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 replaced the Pirellis on ours due to excessive road noise at about 50,000 miles. Had plenty of tread life left but I was tired of the noise. Went with a Nitto tire that was an improvement over the Pirellis but will probably try a Michelin on my next set
I am NOT impressed by either set of Pirelli tires I have owned. Compared to those the Pirelli have much less grip and if the road is even slightly damp they slide all over these things are supposed to be "ultra high performance" won't ever get these again. Dry grip is ok. But I find they squeal and let go at a much lower speed than the previous khumo set.
I recently purchased a used S60 that came with new P Zeros. They handle well but have a really harsh ride. Avoid
