Tires Pirelli or Firestone

My clear favourite for our winter is the Pirelli Sottozero 3. It drives exactly like a real summer tire in the dry but is still excellent in the snow.

Selling a set of Neuspeed RSe102 wheels (Hyper Black) and Pirelli P ZERO (PZ4) tires. These came off a 2015 Passat B7 and simply transformed the cars handling, very impressive tire and wheel setup.

Same tires. Same smiles. Best bang for the buck BY FAR. Dry grip is incredible compared to goodyear eagle f1's and continental sport contact. Not to mention they're inexpensive. I've got 10k miles and they show little signs of wear.

Its been dry, and they have been fairly broken in by now. Steering response is fantastic compared to the old tires. But I have to agree with tire rack that there isn't much feedback. there is definitely more tread noise on the interstate. GRIP, WOW, This things cling harder than an ex girlfriend with abandonment issues. If you can live with a little more harshness its a night and day difference between this tire and the OE contis.

I have a set of Indy 500s mounted to 19" rims on my GLI, been running them since January. Couldn't be happier, they are truly well rounded performance tires. They are awesome on wet roads, they have good acceleration/braking and corner grip. For the price and performance they are a good deal.

I just had a set of firehawk indy 500 tires installed on my car on monday. I thought i would share my feedback as to how they perform on the car. Steering response... Wow This is so much better. the car is way more willing to turn. there is less delay between the steering wheel and the car moving. Wet traction is a huge step up. Ride. I havent noticed a huge Decline in the ride. Noise, at city speeds the noise has been minimal, no real difference.

I dislike the Conti's very much, always have. I had Pirelli P7s previously and absolutely loved them and will be going that route once I'm due.

I have 36k on the OEM P-Zeros on my Mk6 GTI and they are at 3/32", so its time for new shoes. Overall, not a bad tire, especially for the money.

I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.

The 18s on my GTI have tons of cracks.
