Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
We have the optional 21" wheels with T rated Pirelli Scorpion tires. Plenty firm, and it doesn't wallow around at all.
I currently have perelli sottozero 3 on my Stinger, which have been fantastic during winter track days and are rated for higher speeds than the x ice 3s are.
After 2 weeks of looking and doing homework. Analysis paralysis? I bought Yokahama YK740 GTX. 225/50/17. So far I like them. I was also looking at the "Continental pro contact" as well but the Yokahama had better ratings. If your into that kinda thing. (I was). The wider tire looks kinda cool too.
A few months after owning my 2018 SEL-P I wound up replacing all four tires. It shipped with Continentals and I replaced them with Pirellis, the difference in road noise was like upgrading an entire class of vehicle. It's not funny how loud the Conties were and how much quieter the Pirelli are at the same size/wheel/etc.
I've got the Pirelli P7 (P Zero doesn't come in my size) and it's been pretty great. Amazing wet grip, really helps in the Pac NW. No issues with cooler temps, although they're just okay on snow and ice. Can't speak to treadwear yet, they're still pretty new.
Those Pirellis consistently test among the best UHP tires money can buy. Expect around 30% longer tread life than the Firestones, however, even the latter should last at least 50k km.
I live in Worcester and work in Boston, I get no days off (state nursing supervisor)... I\u2019ve been running Sottozero 3\u2019s since I bought the car and they haven\u2019t dusappointed me. I\u2019ve even hit a couple unavoidable bridge expansion joint craters on 9/128/pike and they\u2019ve held up. I guess I\u2019ve been lucky! Worcester is notorious for hills, lots of snow, and poor plowing by the DPW and I feel as confident as I did running Hakkas on my prior TDI Golf.
Thursday was not a good day for one of my Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires. On the way to work a pothole got my front right side tire...When I got home I notice a nick in the rim, but not the damage to the tire...Called Tirerack, since I have the road hazard coverage and filed a claim.
Yep they are an outdated tire. I hated them on my 2012 Mustang GT.
I have these tires and despise them. Noisiest new tire I've had in at least a decade.
