Tires Pirelli or FEDERAL

I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.

Pirelli Cinturato Velo will provide better grip and more durability.

For years I have been using 4seasons, but last year I decided to try something different and replaced them with Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR. Have been happy with these, my totally unprofessional feeling is that they are a bit more grippy than 4seasons.

I have them on my 356 (model CA67) and absolutely love them.

I run the 220tw PZero on my MK7.5 GTI. Nevertheless, a great tire. Plenty of grip, not bad in the rain and can take the abuse of the occasional track day- I’m really surprised as to how they can handle the heat cycle and wear evenly at the track. On the street- they offer more performance than you can throw at them. Daily driving, they don’t wear as quickly as you’d expect a tire in the low 200tw range to wear.

Reliable. 30k miles. No issues at all except for the Pirellis that were worn way faster than expected.

After my recent misfortune with A052’s at the track, I decided to go with a cheaper 200tw tire to see how they perform. I ran the Federal RS-Pro’s in 225/40/18 on my 2021 Mini Cooper JCW GP3. Handling was pretty impressive to me, to be honest.

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 forget what there were called, but I had Pirelli snow tires on my previous XC60 and absolutely hated them. Very.. wishy-washy unstable feeling. I replaced them with Blizzaks and will never own another snow tire. The Pirelli was just not as quality as I wanted it to be. Poor life, poor grip, poor dry pavement feel and LOUD.

A friend bought them for his E92 M3 and ran one event with them before the shutdown. He said they're not very impressive at all, even his old and cycled RS3s had noticeably more grip available.
