Tires Pirelli or Achilles

My last car purchased needed new tires and the seller let me choose the tires and we negotiated the price from there. We went with a Pirelli tire which was a really good tire, seller happy buyer happy.

I quickly switched to Pirelli P-Zero Nero all season tires and the different was night and day. Much better grip and stopping ability.....and I once took the car through about a foot of unplowed snow and didn't loose grip.

+1 on the Pirelli Elect. Went to 18s for my M3P and the tire is super comfortable, quiet, and naturally more efficient.

Replaced with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. So much better! Smoother and firmer

Needed to replace tires, got Pirelli P7 Plus 3, 225 / 45 R18. Anyone is looking for a quieter ride, I'm really pleased with these tires. Road noise significantly reduced from the Vredestein Quadtrack Pro that came on the car. Very happy with corning, road holding, rain.

The P Zero All-Season may be your best bet if you're set on all-seasons. They were fine when I had one of the previous scorpion AS iterations on my E53, seemed to be a good value.

Only other thing I'm seeing available is discount tire with a Nitto NT420V. I'd take the Pirelli over that.

Ridden both tires (well the GP5000 TLR not the STR) and both are brilliant. Pirellis are easier to fit and seem sturdier but that's just based on my experience. Both are great tires so I'd get which ever has the best price

I've had these on for a few days, so I can't give a comprehensive review, but here are my first impressions.

The 70,000 mile warranty was the biggest selling point here. These are 700AA on the UTQG scale, so much harder than the 400 UTQG Continentals that I'm used to. I expected stiffer feel over bumps and louder road noise since they don't have foam, but these actually seem softer and quieter. The traction is noticeably worse in dry conditions, haven't tested on wet roads. I got them to spin out from a stop, but maybe that was just breaking them in, because now they don't seem to lose traction. The biggest downside is the reduced steering precision. These have a very wavy wandering feedback to inputs, my friend says it may be 'tread crawl' from having thicker treads than the old ones. The Continentals felt like a scalpel on winding roads, these are more like a rubber scalpel.

I need to try a few more situations, like rain, but I think I'm going to end up liking these better because the increased comfort is more useful to me than the performance.

Pirelli P7 A/S - nice but wore quickly, even on a Honda Fit. That, and the Pirelli A/S runflats that came OEM on the Alfa are the worst tires I've used

Pirelli cinturatos are garbage. Insanely overpriced for how they perform.
