i just replaced the stock tires with pirelli a/s whatevers on mine and i was Shocked at how much quieter it is. before on the freeway i had the volume at 30-35 but now 20-24 feels like an equivalent volume
I run Pirelli winters on my Mk8 in Canada and they are fantastic.
I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.
Knocked back a PB at both track events on these. At VIR last weekend they were great. Very predictable and tons of grip. Shot for 34-ish hot. -2.7 camber up front. Turned on reasonably quick on out lap. I rotate each day (front to back, back to front cross). Would recommend 10/10.
Had some true dedicated winters (Yoko Iceguards). Ice , snow, it would just go. Gave me piece of mind.
I had some Yokohama Geolandar at/4s on my xterra and tundra and I love(d) them. They still give the look while keeping the noise down in my expirience .
Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires
I had two of these pirellis bubble on me around the same time. Replaced all four because apparently these tires are prone to bubbles in the first place.
Apparently there are Balancing issues with Pirelli tires. I had Pirelli Scorpions and could never get them right with 3 tire shops.
I have been looking for replacements for the awful Pirellis (on 22s). I’m on my second set - and the rain we’ve have in New England would get the Rivian hydroplaning where I’d never had that issue with my old Lexus GX with Michelin’s.
