Tires Toyo or Pirelli
Pirelli Pzeros are really high quality tires which are way better than Nitto.
I went with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus on my tdi, love them, do well in rain shine and light snow.. the 70k mile warranty on them too, all around good tire imo at a decent price
Yeah the factory Pirelli tires are hot garage. I got new wheels and went Michelin PS4S and the difference in noise was huge. It was strange on the first highway trip, I though they just had a different sound, but it turned out the noise I was hearing was wind noise over the side mirrors that the Pirellis completely masked.
I have the Scorpion Verdes on my wife’s RDX, much better than the OEM Michelin’s they replaced. Not a pure snow tire, but not bad.
I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.
I've had really good times with my Toyo Observe snow tires on my Audi. I don't really notice the noise from them and they are great in everything but straight ice.
Pirelli Cinturato Velo will provide better grip and more durability.
I have had a few Pirelli tires. The only Pirelli tire I was ever impressed with were the Rosso's and the Corsa's. One thing to mention is Pirelli mileage warranties have always been inflated (as well as many other companies). Do not expect 50k out of these and track every rotation and do them on time. With other Pirelli performance all season tires they were good for the first 1/3 of tread then got borderline undividable in snow and heavy rain. More noticeable than other competitors when worn. One thing to note is I have always liked the Pirelli sidewall stiffness compared to Michelin and Continental.
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.
I hope Pirelli gets punished. It's not about the race really, they fucking crashed going 300km/h, so fucking dangerous.
