Tires Pirelli or BRIDGESTONE

Mine are quiet (but then, im comparing to a corolla on 19's...)

I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.

The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.

I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.

Switched from Toyos to the Pirelli Scorpion and instantly felt a difference. Much more quiet and smooth

Pirelli Scorpion AS3 is what I got after the toros and they did not disappoint

The Pirellis, at this pressure, are quite smooth and free rolling. But the weight is never forgotten, and getting to speed takes effort. The reflective sides are bright and clear, and lend a bit of comfort to riding in low-light mornings/evenings.

Thus far, no punctures. At 1500km, though, the rear's showing its wear (front looks nice still) and flattened off at the centre of the tread.

Traction-wise, I've had no concerns. Both: rain/shine they've given me no pause or worry. Riding on various surfaces: asphalt, concrete, gravel, dirt, packed limestone - they seem to just work well.

The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak

I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.

They are fine, feel rather soft.

I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.

My Acura and GF’s Camry have Pirelli’s that we bought last year in April that are great. We bought a Highlander in November that had a set of new lauffen tires from Walmart. They have had 2 nails already. Bad luck, maybe. I’m convinced the tires are softer and more susceptible to damage.

Had Pirelli P Zeros on my RS3, all 4 began cracking (3/4 years old). Purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres today, haven’t tested them in anger yet. Had them on my Mustang, managed to avoid putting it up a tree or into a crowd with the shitty UK weather.
