Tires Pirelli or Kumho

I am running 235/35/19 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3’s on the OEM Englishtowns. In terms of performance, I would say they are really good I didn’t have any issues with braking or accelerating

Update: Got the tires installed today. I noticed a major drop in road noise. I was using 9yr old Kumhos, that sat in the garage most of their life. Other than that, no noticeable difference going from 225/40 to 225/45.

225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)

We have the optional 21" wheels with T rated Pirelli Scorpion tires. Plenty firm, and it doesn't wallow around at all.

I currently have perelli sottozero 3 on my Stinger, which have been fantastic during winter track days and are rated for higher speeds than the x ice 3s are.

Kuhmo Ecsta PS91 245/40/R18

Tyres: Kumho ecsta lx platinum

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

My Mustang came with those and I do not recommend driving on them at below +5c degrees. I drove at 1-2 degrees and the car felt very loose and slidy when turning, even at lower speeds.

I own a few cars that I have P Zeros on. Forget snow, when it's below about 45F or so they don't hook up, when it's below freezing they're hard, and when temps are in the single digits/teens they're downright scary.
