Tires Toyo or Pirelli
From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
I have the Pirellis on my car and the Generals on my small SUV. Honestly, I like both of them although the SUV goes on dedicated winter tires while the car stays on the Pirellis year around and just stays parked on bad snow days. The ride quality on both is great although the Pirellis may be just a little quieter overall. Tread wear on each has been negligible over a year now so hasn’t been a concern. I used to have OEM Michelins on the SUV which quickly wore out of course and Bridgestones on the car which while a good tire had a very harsh ride quality. The next time I replace tires I’d have no hesitation going with either the Generals or the Pirellis, it will probably come down to which is a better deal at the time.
Still rocking the stock AT Pirellis with plenty of tread left too.
I'm running a set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires. They've been really great in dry and wet, and were priced very reasonably.
I'm in Texas and we have concrete, not asphalt. So Pirellis have been my go-to on everything I drive. Great in wet weather, resistant to hydroplaning, good in hot conditions.
The PIRELLI P ZERO AS PLUS 3 XL is on my car. They had good reviews on TireRack, and so far, they have had no issues. I have driven 2000 miles on them, which are good on dry and wet. Grips well on the mountain roads have yet to take them to the track or drive in the snow.
Have had Falkens in the past, just didn’t last as long as I hoped and basically felt cheap. Nittos also wore prematurely IMO so weren’t worth the premium. The Proxes wear well (evenly) and can handle weather.
I am sure Pirelli makes plenty of good tires but I was shocked how terrible the OEM P Zero summer tires were that came on my 2016 mustang. Equivalent summer tires from both Michelin and Continental were quieter, had better grip when hot, had better grip when cold, and performed better in the rain.
Just driven for first time in rain with my new P Zeros on and googling if anyone else finds them shocking in the wet. Seem good in dry but absolutely shocking in wet, thought diesel had been spilt on roundabout at first, but then realised same on any other roundabouts.
