Tires Pirelli or Falken

Pirelli Tires

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.

Pros: more confidence on-road

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.

Pros: out grip skill level

Just bought 4 Falken wild peaks 265/75r16 116T for $188 a piece on Amazon from simple tire. If you want a beefy look and you don't do major off roading these are great.

Pros: beefy look, great

New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!

Pros: easy to seat, sealed well
Cons: didn’t grip well

I used VCDS to recalibrate the speedo after swapping tires from Dunlop SP Sport 225/40R18 to Pirelli Pzero 235/40R18 rubber. Best I could achieve was with Distance Impulse Number 7 (stock was 6). Couldn't select a higher number, VCDS reported 8 as out of range and that was the highest option available. The difference over an extended period of testing was only about 0.5 MPH closer to what two GPS units were reporting. Meh.

Pros: recalibrated speedo with VCDS
Cons: only 0.5 MPH closer

Yeah, I did actually try a set of P-Zeros on my Fiesta Zetec S. They were shockingly bad in damp conditions and, ironically, wore out very quickly. Wouldn't recommend.

Cons: bad in damp, wore quickly
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

I've had terrible luck with Falkens. Been quite a few years now, but after multiple pairs I concluded they suck when it's wet and have terrible wear.

Cons: suck when wet, terrible wear
