Tires Pirelli or GISLAVED

I just changed my Pirellis with Michelin last week. The Pirellis have amazing grip but for commuting they wore within a year. The Michelins that I just got are better for touring. So I would recommend the Michelins!

I put Pirelli Angel GT on my CBR500 and they were insane. Stuck like glue and held up pretty well in terms of wear. A good value pick in my opinion.

I put a pair of Rosso 3’s on a z900. Spectacular tires. Grippy and agile. But they do wear more quickly- after 6000 miles the rear was worn, and I’m not hyper-aggressive.

Pirelli Cinturato Velo or Hutchinson Challenger TLR. Both are faster, tougher and grippier than Gatorskins.

I mean, once i tried Pirelli i couldn't get any other brand. They are stupid expensive though and don't last as long as something like a Bridgestone. But tons of feedback.

I use the Pirelli P Zero PZ4 on my Mercedes and BMW and Michelin PS4 on Range Rover. The Pirelli is superb and grippy but wear out faster and more noisier.

This is a bit of an old thread, but I use these on my 07 civic. The tires themselves are very capable (30k miles on them now, and I'm looking to replace them, so somewhat underwhelming tread life.) When I push the limits of traction, they are very predictable and feel confident, even in rainy conditions. I get lots of road noise, but that's almost certainly due to the car itself, not the tires.

Mine did this within 10k miles.

The tires are trash. Same thing happened to me at 24k miles.
