Tires Pirelli or Cooper

I went with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus on my tdi, love them, do well in rain shine and light snow.. the 70k mile warranty on them too, all around good tire imo at a decent price

Yeah the factory Pirelli tires are hot garage. I got new wheels and went Michelin PS4S and the difference in noise was huge. It was strange on the first highway trip, I though they just had a different sound, but it turned out the noise I was hearing was wind noise over the side mirrors that the Pirellis completely masked.

I have the Scorpion Verdes on my wife’s RDX, much better than the OEM Michelin’s they replaced. Not a pure snow tire, but not bad.

I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.

Pirelli Cinturato Velo will provide better grip and more durability.

For years I have been using 4seasons, but last year I decided to try something different and replaced them with Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR. Have been happy with these, my totally unprofessional feeling is that they are a bit more grippy than 4seasons.

I have them on my 356 (model CA67) and absolutely love them.

My Mustang came from the factory with P-Zero summer tires and I too can confirm that they are pretty "brittle" and lacking in grip until you get a lot of heat into them.

Had the Pirelli P Zero on my 2014 GTI when I originally bought it, and they were probably one of the worst tires I've had the displeasure of experiencing (esp. in the winter).

Starfire tires are a budget brand of tire made by Cooper. They're typically using Cooper's older, less advanced rubber compounds, some of which are absolutely terrifying in wet conditions and tend to be OK to good in the dry. They typically have a short tread life.
