Tires Pirelli or Cooper

A few months after owning my 2018 SEL-P I wound up replacing all four tires. It shipped with Continentals and I replaced them with Pirellis, the difference in road noise was like upgrading an entire class of vehicle. It's not funny how loud the Conties were and how much quieter the Pirelli are at the same size/wheel/etc.

I have them on my 01 4Runner in a 265/75r16 and love them. They wander a little on the highway but not horribly. I’ve only had them in rocks, loose soft dirt, and shallow mud but they impressed the hell out of me the first time I took it out after install.

Very happy with mine on my heavy af Land Cruiser. They have 30k miles on them and easily more than half tread left. In Colorado they seem to be an ideal tire - they handle snow/ice far better than any MT I've had and they rock crawl with the best of them.

I've got 265/75/r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT's in the "C" rating on my '17 Frontier. They're the new, more aggressive design that came out in fall 2018. I've been very impressed with them on gravel and loose dirt/sand/rocky unimproved roads in the southwest and on plenty of snowy, sketchy mountain roads around Utah. They ride well and are quiet on the highway, in my opinion at least. I lost maybe .5-1 mpg over the stock highway tread tires, and that includes going up a size and from P to LT tires.

I've got the Pirelli P7 (P Zero doesn't come in my size) and it's been pretty great. Amazing wet grip, really helps in the Pac NW. No issues with cooler temps, although they're just okay on snow and ice. Can't speak to treadwear yet, they're still pretty new.

Those Pirellis consistently test among the best UHP tires money can buy. Expect around 30% longer tread life than the Firestones, however, even the latter should last at least 50k km.

I have the Zeons on my MZ3 right now and I have no complaints about them. My last set wore out pretty gracefully. But bang for your buck is definitely there with these.

I've put 2500 miles on the Pirellis and the positives are handling, comfort, low noise. The negative is they refuse to stay balanced.

I own a few cars that I have P Zeros on. Forget snow, when it's below about 45F or so they don't hook up, when it's below freezing they're hard, and when temps are in the single digits/teens they're downright scary.

My car came with Pirelli P zeros from the factory. They were awful. Run Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics now and they are much much better. Especially in the wet.
