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.
I have Westlake SU318's on my Ranger now and they are cheap and fantastic. Great wet grip and very quiet.
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 used Westlakes before on my daily driver when I was just barely making ends meet. Had no issue with them, and I had to drive a lot for work.
I ran a set of west lake 205-50-16 tires on my 2001 celica. I probably put 30k miles on them before I sold it, and they still had about half the tread left. Ride was decently smooth and quiet. Ride quality and tire life were better than any of the other tires I used before (Nexen, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo).
I've put westlakes on before. I am at Walmart. They seem pretty decent. Somewhat heavy, and durable. I see no problem with them. They aren't as gummy as, say, a Goodyear, but they seem decent.
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 used VCDS to recalibrate the speedo after swapping tires from Dunlop SP Sport 225/40R18 to Pirelli Pzero 235/40R18 rubber. Best I could achieve was with Distance Impulse Number 7 (stock was 6). Couldn't select a higher number, VCDS reported 8 as out of range and that was the highest option available. The difference over an extended period of testing was only about 0.5 MPH closer to what two GPS units were reporting. Meh.
Pirelli: hey, our tyres are about 8 years out of date, we really need to try new stuff
All of F1: Ok, we'll test them for you.
Post-test: WE HATE THESE TYRES, WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP THE OLD ONES?
Pirelli need to face consequences for their reckless misjudgment of tyres here. Both Stroll and Max were put in incredibly dangerous situations due to their negligence.
