Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
Not because of F1, but when I bought full winter rims/tires I had Scorpion Ice & Snow for my X5M. They worked very well actually, and with the combination of the vehicle and those tires I never had any issues in the snow
I have a set, they are pretty good. for a 320 TW tire, the grip is awesome, and should last a lot longer than the OEM Pirellis. These tires are much better at the track (turning) not so much at the quarter.
I had previous versions on my grand Cherokee (31s) and loved them absolutely unstoppable in the snow. and have the current version on my TJ (\"35s\") and love them as well. Not as aggressive looking as the GY MT/RS I had on for a little while before them but much smoother and quieter.
I\u2019ve been really really happy with Yokohama Geolandar AT/S on my Forester. I\u2019m on the second set are great in any setting, and extremely quiet and long wearing for how aggressive they are.
Today I was able to return the Bridgestone Alenzas and have a different shop set me up with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R18 All Season Plus tires and..... AWESOME. These tires are big feeling and grippy, quiet at highway speeds, AND the car is so much more responsive. I can;t compare to tires that I have not tried on this car, but these are a major upgrade from the Continentals that came stock and a very awesome place to be.
I got 19 inch Yokohama Advan A/S for $800. I have the Mazda 6 sport that came with 17 inch Yokohamas from the dealership. I upgraded my rims to 19 inch so I decided ided to get Yokohamas again.
Noticable noise and handling difference after I switched them to Prirelli Cinturato P7 A/S+.
I'm assuming they are the all season PZero Nero (not sure if they made a summer tire) They are "okay" tires. not great in the wet or snow, and I always end up being concerned about what they are going to do in a corner.
I have Pirelli P4's... I love the tread warranty - expecting that I'll get 9,000 miles out of them. But I find that I'm losing traction more often than I'd like when I accelerate, and make turns.
Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.
