Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Good ones, currently Michelins, on all 4 wheels. They cost about the same, last about as long, and handle almost as well as my good all-seasons. So I'm paying for mounting and balancing, and a small gas mileage hit.

We just put a set of these on our V90 CC a couple months ago, and so far I’ve been loving them. Very grippy in dry or wet conditions. Haven’t driven them in snow yet, but I live in upstate NY and will certainly get the chance soon enough. They are much softer ride and quieter than the Pirelli scorpions.

I love these tires. The tread pattern is ugly and you can’t rotate them side to side but they will handle anything. Are cleared for mountain passes and even perform well through the limited spirited driving I do in my V60cc. When time comes to replace them it will be with another set of the same.

I just mounted these on my wife’s Alltrack… not the most “performance” forward but quiet, safe, and plenty of grip..

Pirelli’s winter tires are great on dry days and occasional snow, but you will be better off with tires more suited for the heavy snow conditions in ski areas.

I've had Crossclimates on my old M3P and my MY so wanted to put them on the new M3P. I still would have preferred A/S Crossclimates over two sets of wheels/tires that are Pirellis.

Ive never had such a great experience in the rain

Meine Meinung und Erfahrung nach lohnt sich ein Alpin 5 erst, wenn du Ihn wirklich nutzt. Ich fuhr mit Ihm auf der Autobahn/Landstrasse die Schneebedeckt war, leicht eisig mit 100-130 (da musst du aber auch wissen wie du Spurwechselst und wann du Gas gibst, sonst nutzt der auch nichts) gefahren und der klebte am Boden.

I just had these put on my ‘23 R1S. The ride home was smooth. I didn’t notice any difference between the stock Pirelli’s as far as noise and quality go.

Just, my experience, but the x tours were the worst Michelins I've ever owned. Each tire had at least one flat, some tires had two flats in less than 2 years. My advice obviously is to pay more for the Defender series.
