Tires Pirelli or Cooper

I’ve got Pirelli P-Zeros on my RS5 since the previous owner put them on recently before selling and I have to say that they are actually good despite what some people say. I actually felt like they handled better than the PS4S on my fathers old A45 AMG and while it might be down to the car I still am not disappointed.

In most cases, I buy Michelin. My best wearing tires are Pirelli P4s, but I can't find the size I need for my current car.

Big brands like those are all fine for a daily driver crossover.

My personal favourites to mount are Bridgestone blizzaks, and have had wonderful results on my dad's rwd BMW E46 with Pirelli ice zero fr.

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice

I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.

I have them installed on my m50i and just tried them out today in the snow/slush/ice. Excellent grip overall, no sliding or wheel spinning.

Then switched to hyundai Genesis coupe wheels with Pirelli scorpions AS plus 3. Now I’m on 17” reika with Falken wildpeak at trail 245/65/17. I loss mpg/ev as well.

I had Pirellis on my RS3 when I bought it, and they were absolute trash lol.

I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with pirellis. Premature dry rot, delamination on new tires while driving, premature wear, etc. On top of that, I find them to be loud, ride poorly, grip poorly, are expensive, and wear down too fast even if you don’t run into common quality issues.
