Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

I have run P7s on over 4 different cars and I love them for all seasons. However, the Sottozero high performance winter tire rocks!

The closest you'd get is a set of Pirelli slicks for track/race use, or P-Zero Trofeo if you wanted something road legal.

Although [Pirelli P-Zeros](https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/car/find-your-tyres/products-sheet/p-zero#/overview) are a pretty amazing street tyre that come on a lot of new high performance cars

Really? I had LTX's on my car for years, and they were awesome, no issues at all.

I'm running the stock Pirelli P7's that came OE on the car. Currently have 7100 miles. Pressure set to recommended 37 Psi. Tires are quiet and smooth around town and on most roads. Quiet at HWY speeds as well, except on concrete where they seem to drone a bit. No perceived harshness (to me) on nearly all surfaces.

I have NO issues with wet weather traction with the Michelin PSS on my GTI. Much better than the stock Pirelli all-season tires.

Also, to answer your question regarding the Michelin PSS - I made the switch from the stock all seasons over a year and a half ago...They absolutely transform the car. The stiffer sidewall increases steering feel and responsiveness, and the softer compound not only rides better but also grips like hell in the corners. Wet traction and confidence also increased significantly.

I had the Nero Zeros on mine and went 40K just fine. Only at the last 10K did I start driving around with more racing and sliding etc and the tires got bald super fast lol for a daily they will be fine.

I had Michelin X-Ice 2 on mine (and didn't like them - not enough actual snow traction, ice traction was good of course, so was dry/wet performance and noise/comfort). The TDI engine was easily able to overpower the front wheels while starting...

Skip the P-zeros, I hate mine. There's so much road noise I feel like the tires are made of cement sometimes.
