Tires Pirelli or DUNLOP

Well i went from 18s to 17s last winter... Originally i bought a set of Pirelli Sottozero3 225/40/18 on 18x7.5 wheels (might have been x8 i cant remember). The traction in cold was unreal and amazing, the price was not.

I had Pirelli p6000 for my 1st gen Clio 1.8, I loved them, I knew about the fact they last not as long, but I loved having so much grip.

Not because of F1, but when I bought full winter rims/tires I had Scorpion Ice & Snow for my X5M. They worked very well actually, and with the combination of the vehicle and those tires I never had any issues in the snow

I have a set, they are pretty good. for a 320 TW tire, the grip is awesome, and should last a lot longer than the OEM Pirellis. These tires are much better at the track (turning) not so much at the quarter.

Today I was able to return the Bridgestone Alenzas and have a different shop set me up with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R18 All Season Plus tires and..... AWESOME. These tires are big feeling and grippy, quiet at highway speeds, AND the car is so much more responsive. I can;t compare to tires that I have not tried on this car, but these are a major upgrade from the Continentals that came stock and a very awesome place to be.

Noticable noise and handling difference after I switched them to Prirelli Cinturato P7 A/S+.

I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.

I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .

I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon

I have those on my Mustang right now and they have no where near the performance of the outgoing P Zeros.
