Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Well, I had a set of XGT V4 (not on my dub) before they came out with the Pilot XGT V4 and they handled pretty well. But, they were bald in appox. 20k miles. So, I replaced them with the Khumo ECSTA Supra 712's. They were awesome, they handled much better than the XGT's and were much cheaper.

I have been running 195-50-15 P700Z's on my 81 MKI Scirocco. They ride pretty well on the freeway for low profile tires. Tire noise is not bad. Cornering power is good in the dry. I wore out the fronts first and bought two more. The tire is a bargain and good all around performance for the price.

I have P7000 Summer's on my 88 Toyota MR2 and while I am very impressed with them, they do wear very quickly.

I don't have experience with the P7000 but I've had two sets of the P700Zs and loved them. They are an older tire that are now out of production but you can get them for a great price. They are nice and sticky and last as well. A good combo if you ask me.

I had the same question and just checked mine. From the dealership I had appx 42 PSI front and 44 PSI rear (cold). As this didn't match the gas door recommendations. I called the dealer's (Chapman, Scottsdale AZ) service department. The front desk finally transferred me to the tire shop (note Chapman also sells BMW and Dodge) the helpful technician listened to my specifications and question and responded that he recommends 38 PSI front and rear in Phoenix. For all vehicles with similar low profile tires.He was very specific about location (asked me if I lived here in town). I'm guessing that's due to our good old dry heat here. Anyhow that's what I set mine to. regards, Ken

Pirelli P7000, love them but weaer out fast. Super in the rain. I even Auto-X'ed with them a coupla times and was competitive.

i love my pirelli p6000 sport veloce... 185/60/r14.... they were less than $50 apiece on http://www.tirerack.com back this summer when i bought them

I drove last winter on the Michelin Arctic Alpins, including into ski areas, etc and they were just great.

I've had both now (99 with Michelins, 03 with Contis). I agree, I think the Michelins \"look\" more sporty (for lack of a better term), but for driving performance, so far I find them fairly equivalent (which is not suprising since they get extremely similar ratings at tirerack.com). Both suck in comparison to the Bridgestones I had put on my 99 tho. (IMO)

im saorry to disagree,but you couldnt pay me to use p700z's again,i hate them,i had a pair and they never felt sticky enough,they do last a long time though,i think the only time they were any good(for me)was when i got them really warm,i didnt like them for autocross at all
