Tires Pirelli or Kumho

I quickly switched to Pirelli P-Zero Nero all season tires and the different was night and day. Much better grip and stopping ability.....and I once took the car through about a foot of unplowed snow and didn't loose grip.

6months and 15k miles into a set of these on a ford escape. They're quiet and wearing well so far. Not as quiet as Goodyear which is the same price but still a quiet tire.

+1 on the Pirelli Elect. Went to 18s for my M3P and the tire is super comfortable, quiet, and naturally more efficient.

Replaced with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. So much better! Smoother and firmer

Needed to replace tires, got Pirelli P7 Plus 3, 225 / 45 R18. Anyone is looking for a quieter ride, I'm really pleased with these tires. Road noise significantly reduced from the Vredestein Quadtrack Pro that came on the car. Very happy with corning, road holding, rain.

The P Zero All-Season may be your best bet if you're set on all-seasons. They were fine when I had one of the previous scorpion AS iterations on my E53, seemed to be a good value.

Only other thing I'm seeing available is discount tire with a Nitto NT420V. I'd take the Pirelli over that.

Ridden both tires (well the GP5000 TLR not the STR) and both are brilliant. Pirellis are easier to fit and seem sturdier but that's just based on my experience. Both are great tires so I'd get which ever has the best price

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.

I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.

Pirelli P7 A/S - nice but wore quickly, even on a Honda Fit. That, and the Pirelli A/S runflats that came OEM on the Alfa are the worst tires I've used
