Tires Hankook or Pirelli

My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.

I think the pirelli’s are great tires.

It's a very quiet all-season with a 70,000 mile estimated life expectancy according to Discount Tire.

The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.

Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.

They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.

Pirellis are the best in my opinion. The edge grip on Pirellis is the most progressive and consistent ive found, Im able to control the slide on corner exit a little better off the edge of the Sc1s/Sc2s than I am with any of the others.

I had the Hankook Ventus V12s are a different car. Here are my thoughts:

Decent grip, soft sidewall, narrower tire for its size.

Anecdotal, but I have Perelli Scorpions on my suv and will never get Perelli again. They wore unevenly and well short or their mileage and Perelli basically gave me the finger when I contacted them about the warranty.

Pirelli tires weather crack fast.
