Tires Pirelli or Achilles

I will die on this hill saying these are the single best tires I've ever used that are still "DOT" tires. Loads of grip for street riding, warm up in one lap, super predictable on track and the level of grip these offer just bar none has any right having a dot stamp. The corner drive I can get on them on a 1k is mental for what they are.

I found some Pirelli P4’s for sale on tirerack years ago and the treadlife on them is absolutely insane, and my car is able to take corners better than any Prius has the right to

Compare to my Pirelli Pzero they are BETTER. Better steering feel, as silent, road holding don't see a f... difference, definitely more grippy on acceleration and braking.

I also have a set of P-7's on my 2018 Bolt, excellent traction and very good in the wet. Have only put 5,000 miles on them but they don't seem to be wearing as fast as I would have thought.

So a few weeks back I opted for Pirelli's P7 tires in lieu of the OEM. I wanted some more traction for dry and wet weather. With OEM tires I was usually between 4.6 kW and 4.4 kW depending on streets or freeway, now I'm about 4.4 kW on streets and 4.2 kW. And there is better traction and control. They are also more comfortable to ride on and quieter too. These tires are 100% worth it.

Went with the **Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 3** tires. Reasons were simple. Cheaper than OEM, better grip in wet and dry, quieter and not too big a hit on economy.

After a few hundred miles of mixed highway and city driving, I can say they are better in every way. The best part is the quiet nature of the tires. Softer hum on the highway, barely noticeable on the streets.

Overall, extremely happy with the tires.

Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.

So I went ahead and purchased a set of Pirelli P Zero. What I am concerned about is that when I asked about the DOT date, the guy at the tire shop told me that the tires were made in the 24th week of 2016.

Here’s the thing though: for me, F1 is the worst advertising for Pirelli. Max’s tyre blowout in Baku and blowouts in Qatar, etc? Michelin, here I come!

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.
