Tires Pirelli or Continental

If you are looking for tires with harder compound yt enough grip check out Pirelli Scorpion Enduro or Continental. For the back wheel better than any Maxxis or Schwalbe.

I'm using continental extreme summers or some name similar to that. Good grip, good price, doesn't last any longer than any performance tire on these tire shredding vehicles.

I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.

Get some continentals, love those tires

Just got some Continental CrossContact LX25 and so far they’re great! Smooth, quiet and have been excellent in wet weather.

If your roads get plowed and you’ll only deal with 2” of snow at most, then the DWS06+ or Pilot AS4 are the way to go. The DWS handle wet a lot better than the AS4. The AS4 handles dry a little bit better than the DWS, and rides a bit better.

Really liked the Toyo Observe. Micheline X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzaks are highly rated. Since we just got into an Atlas, I ended up picking up a set of OEM wheels and Continental Viking Contact 7 tires just last week. Found a set on Facebook that were one year old. Continental seems to have good ratings but am not sure how they will compare to the Toyo I am used to.

Fwiw, replacing the stock Pirellis with Continental CrossContacts has made such a huge difference in ride quality and noise. The OEM Pirellis are garbage.

Have the same bubble issue on my 2021 Arteon, 5800 miles, front passenger side.
