Just got these Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractives mounted onto my Jetta GLI. Makes a whole world of difference between the Stock Hankook Kinergy GTs and the shitty Yokohama YK-GTXs that I had before
Pirelli Pzero AS plus 3 tires that are better than stock. We also replaced at about 32K miles. Now that we've got the acceleration out of our system, we expect these tires to last much longer and they appear to be doing just that.
I bought pirelli scorpion as3 for this very reason. I can floor it and they still stick. They’re wild!
I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.
Ich habe die Pirellis, aber wir haben in Rheinhessen/Rhein-Main auch nicht viel Winter. Fahren sich bisher trocken super, auch bei nasser Fahrbahn exzellent. Bin mal gespannt was der Winter bringt
With 16K miles on them the treads are still beefy. They handle great, do really well in the rain, and seemed to take the edge off the harsh highway ride. 100% recommend them.
That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
Pirelli tires are not perfect. But at least gives better and consistent feeling on the front according to the riders. But their compounds tend to wear more compared to michelin.
Verdes suck. As others are saying, 3 peak tires are the way to go if you’re gonna deal with snow and don’t want dedicated snow tires. I’ve switched to scorpion weatheractive and my last two trips to Tahoe in heavy snow have been a breeze.
My audi came with the Pirelli's and they stink in the winter. Replaced with Michelin and it was a huge difference.
