PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS II.
BF Goodrich KO2 - have them on my WRX and Crosstrek I absolutely love them.
I do a decent amount of gravel or clay road driving with some but less sand too. Decided to go Pirelli Scorpion A/T plus and there's been no issues at stock hieght.
I am on my third different set of 19" M+S tires on my 2017 Golf R - and I am also a Tahoe area skier - first I had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS - they were good. Then I tried the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Revised Compound X -- they were better -- actually one time I went over Mt Rose in a white-out blizzard, on top of at least 2" of ice, and the Pirellis gave me great traction and handling.
Not on my focus but I also have bfg sport comp 2’s and they are a good bang for the buck tire too
seattle-ish area here, BFG K02s on my colorado. previously had 2 sets on an older land rover. no ragrets. snow, rain, you name it. they even did ok in some standing water.
Another vote for BFG KO2, have had them on my Tundra for ~50K, more expensive but worth it, IMO.
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.
Have the Pirelli Zero. I had to change 2 seperate tires in the past 8 months. Today I had passage front and rear pop. I believe they became very hot and was driving on a newly paved road which could have been hotter then nermal. I love my Tesla but the tires a dangerous and bad quality.
I bought a Golf GTI in April 2021. Car came with Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires, which seem to have fairly good reviews. My impression is that they're the lousiest tires I've ever had, and I've been driving since 1966.
