Tires Pirelli or GT Radial

Am Pirelli Cinturato SF3 pe fata si Debica Navigator pe spate. Asa a fost sa le cumpar pentru ca le-am inlocuit in ani diferiti, sezoane diferite. Pe ploaia inghetata si zapada nu am avut probleme, in schimb pe polei sau gheata nu se descurca excelent, de altfel ca orice anvelopa. Oricum, sunt multumit.

Pirelli Scorpion SF2 275/45 R21 din 2023, 0 probleme indiferent de conditii meteo.

I went w Pirelli All Season UHP in standard size and they are exceptionally good in dry, wet, “wintery mix” and snow. This is my sixth German AWD car, from Audi, BMW and Merc and by far the best in dry and snow conditions.

These tire/wheels were purchased from Tire Rack in the early spring of 2025. Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractive with approx 4,000 miles Size: 245/45/18, XL rating, no repairs Borbet Type W Machined face with gloss black accent Size: 18x8, 5x112, +40, 23.5 lb each, with Tirerack TPMS sensors Black lug bolts, bolt covers and VW OEM emblems installed. Borbet emblems also included. As new condition.

My old '94 Blazer, shod in her Pirelli Scorpions, wrap around rock bars, Vortec V-6. Unstoppable.

oh and for the love of god, get rid of the stock Pirelli and get some Michelin which have more robust rubber.

Tires feel fine (but I have only ever disliked one tire - BFG Advantage); will prob keep the GTs but might complain a bit and try to get comped road hazard coverage.

Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.

The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.

Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.

I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.

It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.

Do not get the P-Zeros trashhhh tire, very stiff I tried them on didn’t like em, way too much cabin noise Continentals are good, idk where you live but if you got the cheddar, go Michelin pilot sport all seasons. If you have a big o tires near your area they might be able to hook you up

My experience with the Perelli stock tires was that they wore out at 19,000 miles, required numerous puncture repairs, and during their first test backcountry, the sidewall blew out, leaving me stranded.
