I purchased the pirelli last spring but they had really good mail in rebates. If you can wait for a good deal, they are great tires
I replaced with Pirelli P7's. They are great, makes a huge difference in ride quality.
I have the Pirellis on my car and the Generals on my small SUV. Honestly, I like both of them although the SUV goes on dedicated winter tires while the car stays on the Pirellis year around and just stays parked on bad snow days. The ride quality on both is great although the Pirellis may be just a little quieter overall. Tread wear on each has been negligible over a year now so hasn’t been a concern. I used to have OEM Michelins on the SUV which quickly wore out of course and Bridgestones on the car which while a good tire had a very harsh ride quality. The next time I replace tires I’d have no hesitation going with either the Generals or the Pirellis, it will probably come down to which is a better deal at the time.
Still rocking the stock AT Pirellis with plenty of tread left too.
2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.
Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.
5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.
I got firestone firehawk as v2 from costco, i don't regret buying it as i can take corner really fast and good tread wear after 17k miles
Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.
I used pzero tlrs all last year. Totally different rims to yours, and no tape on my rims which makes stuff easier. The last set I put on was the 2023 version from their new factory and one of them was quite a bit more difficult for whatever reason.
I swapped out pirelli's to Michelin super sports on my gti and it was a night and day difference.
They have great grip, but they have insane pricing and terrible wear. The stock pirellis on my SRT GC lasted only 13k miles. I get 30k+ from everything else I put on it. The pirelli cost $600 each. My current nittos were under $300 each.
