Tires Pirelli or Giti

I was thinking about throw in the 195 on the front end the front end buying a pair of Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 (215/45/20) on the rear wheels.

I run an pirelli mt21 on the front because it's about the same aggressiveness on the tread, but has a softer rubber, so I can use the front brake with a little more confidence on-road.

I’ve been running pirelli P7’s for many years. B5 Passats, A4 and the tt’s.

Gen 3: Ran Pirelli Angel GT and GT 2 and recently fitted a set of Road 5.

The GTs will out grip your skill level and performance of the bike in my experience. I've thrashed them on nice South African twisties and they just didn't want to let go.

Just got these same Pirelli tires on my 2016 EX-L. So far they’ve been great :)

New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!

My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.

I used VCDS to recalibrate the speedo after swapping tires from Dunlop SP Sport 225/40R18 to Pirelli Pzero 235/40R18 rubber. Best I could achieve was with Distance Impulse Number 7 (stock was 6). Couldn't select a higher number, VCDS reported 8 as out of range and that was the highest option available. The difference over an extended period of testing was only about 0.5 MPH closer to what two GPS units were reporting. Meh.

Not sure about the Vredesteins, but I will say that I hate Pirellis. No issues with wear or performance, but they are unbelievably noisy after about 20k miles. I probably could have gotten another 10k out of them, but replaced them due to the noise.

Pirelli: hey, our tyres are about 8 years out of date, we really need to try new stuff

All of F1: Ok, we'll test them for you.

Post-test: WE HATE THESE TYRES, WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP THE OLD ONES?
