Tires Pirelli or Kormoran

I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.

Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires

Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.

Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.

I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.

I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.

It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.

The tire in your picture is damaged from an impact like a pothole. You can see the rubber transfer on the rim. I have a Calligraphy with 21" wheels, and the OE Pirelli is $653. They are foam lined and offer a quiet ride, but i will definitely be replacing them with a Michelin or Continental as soon they reach 4/32nds. The replacement tires will probably cost half as much as OE.

I wouldn't buy them. I bought a set of pirelli's, they were out of round, next set I got, 2 had a shifted belt. Got those replaced, now I have 4 scorpions that cause small vibrations. Had them balanced 3 times, just won't go away.

I'd highly recommend staying away from them. Everyone I've met who has tried them, including myself, has nothing good to say.

My tires were supposed to last 50k miles and only lasted 16k.
