Tires Pirelli or Cooper

Went with the **Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 3** tires. Reasons were simple. Cheaper than OEM, better grip in wet and dry, quieter and not too big a hit on economy.

After a few hundred miles of mixed highway and city driving, I can say they are better in every way. The best part is the quiet nature of the tires. Softer hum on the highway, barely noticeable on the streets.

Overall, extremely happy with the tires.

Tires: Pirelli $1.1k. Car is just perfect and I love it! So far I haven’t found any issues with this car.

I was thinking about throw in the 195 on the front end the front end buying a pair of Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 (215/45/20) on the rear wheels.

I run an pirelli mt21 on the front because it's about the same aggressiveness on the tread, but has a softer rubber, so I can use the front brake with a little more confidence on-road.

I’ve been running pirelli P7’s for many years. B5 Passats, A4 and the tt’s.

Gen 3: Ran Pirelli Angel GT and GT 2 and recently fitted a set of Road 5.

The GTs will out grip your skill level and performance of the bike in my experience. I've thrashed them on nice South African twisties and they just didn't want to let go.

Just got these same Pirelli tires on my 2016 EX-L. So far they’ve been great :)

Had them on a Camaro SS a few years ago. Only snow tires I've ever used so I can't compare them to anything. I wasn't impressed, they weren't terrible but I expected more in deep snow. No complaints on dry or wet pavement.

My experience with Cooper's is that they last for ages, but had zero grip

The former owner of my Gen3 had Angel ST on, which sucked bad.
