Tires Pirelli or Falken

I went w Pirelli All Season UHP in standard size and they are exceptionally good in dry, wet, “wintery mix” and snow. This is my sixth German AWD car, from Audi, BMW and Merc and by far the best in dry and snow conditions.

Did a short test drive today. No rubbing or other issues with normal/slightly spicy driving. Went lock to lock in a parking lot, no issues.

These tire/wheels were purchased from Tire Rack in the early spring of 2025. Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractive with approx 4,000 miles Size: 245/45/18, XL rating, no repairs Borbet Type W Machined face with gloss black accent Size: 18x8, 5x112, +40, 23.5 lb each, with Tirerack TPMS sensors Black lug bolts, bolt covers and VW OEM emblems installed. Borbet emblems also included. As new condition.

My old '94 Blazer, shod in her Pirelli Scorpions, wrap around rock bars, Vortec V-6. Unstoppable.

I use the p3's, good tire it just has a lot of road noise and not amazing in the rain

Switched to Pirelli Rosso 4 and the problem went away almost entirely.

I had 35mm Gravelking Slicks and now 40mm Pirelli Cinturato H. I miss slicks, the Cinturator H has noticeable knob rumble on smooth tarmac. I don't know if they're actually any slower but they feel at home on rougher surfaces.

oh and for the love of god, get rid of the stock Pirelli and get some Michelin which have more robust rubber.

Whatever the repair costs add on a set of new Michelin pilot sport 4s as pirellis are god awful in the rain. Had my car hydroplane in 50 degree medium rain weather in P zeros.

What are those tires like, the pirellis for me were terrible for handling so I changed to Michelin pilot Sport 4s 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear and they are way smoother and quieter and grip so much better
