Tires Pirelli or Continental

No complaints from the lo pro Continentals so far.

I bought 17" rims and Pirelli Sottozero 3 performance winters. The one time they saw snow last year was a ton of fun and they handled it like a champ. The other 99% of the time, when they were driven in the rain, they were awesome.

I live in Vancouver as well, and went up to Whistler/Squamish/Cypress in the snow last winter with my R equipped with my "winter" setup of Conti DWS 06 and it was more than fine. She handled it like a champ.

mine came with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus, for the 18\" autobahn trim wheels.

thankfully i opted for the wheel / tire protection and that paid off. ive had every tire replaced at least once, and finally just switched to pirelli's which i have loved for the past year and a half.

I have run P7s on over 4 different cars and I love them for all seasons. However, the Sottozero high performance winter tire rocks!

The continental tires ride real quite for their size.

The closest you'd get is a set of Pirelli slicks for track/race use, or P-Zero Trofeo if you wanted something road legal.

They did fine, not a great performing tire but for the price they aren't bad at all.

My biggest gripe was that you can't tell how much life it has left in the rear, since it had a smooth center. I just noticed mine showed cords one day.

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
