Tires Pirelli or Continental

I dumped mine around 30K, probably too late actually. Have run Pirelli's ever since (90K miles now) and I will continue to do so....they've worked out well and I get around 40K on a set.

Continental is frequently "second place" to Michelin in many categories (follow up on Tire Rack, and look their comparison guides), but they also cost like 80% of Michelin's price almost every time. They are never more expensive in the same category. Really good tires.

Personally, I’d spend the extra money and get Continental tires because they make good shit. I run them on both cars, specifically the DWS06+. If it can handle my 500+ hp car, it can handle whatever you’re putting them on.

Tried Pirelli P6s and they were terribly slippery in the rain. I ran DWS06s on my 13 CC & 17 CC. Was the best choice for ride and performance.

For anyone finding this thread I've gotten some decent miles on the Kryptotal now on a variety of trails and am loving it. I'm riding Kryptotal FR Enduro Soft front and Xynotal Enduro Soft rear and can't believe the difference from the T9 Butcher that I still had on the front. Faster, grippier, and I have way more confidence they're going to stick.

You’ll notice a difference. On a gentle downhill with me running the previous GP4000, I’ve coasted past my boss who was on Gatorskins and pedaling. The 5000 has perceptibly better rolling resistance than the 4000.

The Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3 are a nice performance A/S tire that I just mounted to my G30 5 series. Not sure what your use case is, but those are more on the performance side of the A/S market and might be overkill for a daily commuter.

I'm running Continental PureContact LS 195/55R-16. Massive improvement in wet and dry grip over the stock Hankook.

My Continental Pure Contact all seasons are not awesome in snow. My Gislaved Nordfrost tires are.

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
