Tires Pirelli or Kumho

My OE tyres lasted around 60,000km and have now fitted a new set of Pirelli P7s all round.

I have been running 195-50-15 P700Z's on my 81 MKI Scirocco. They ride pretty well on the freeway for low profile tires. Tire noise is not bad. Cornering power is good in the dry. I wore out the fronts first and bought two more. The tire is a bargain and good all around performance for the price.

I have P7000 Summer's on my 88 Toyota MR2 and while I am very impressed with them, they do wear very quickly.

I don't have experience with the P7000 but I've had two sets of the P700Zs and loved them. They are an older tire that are now out of production but you can get them for a great price. They are nice and sticky and last as well. A good combo if you ask me.

Pirelli P7000, love them but weaer out fast. Super in the rain. I even Auto-X'ed with them a coupla times and was competitive.

i love my pirelli p6000 sport veloce... 185/60/r14.... they were less than $50 apiece on http://www.tirerack.com back this summer when i bought them

Kumhos are awesome! I had them on my civic and Ive hit at least 160 in that car! They are very comfortable and they handle very well.

I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.

i have kuhmo supras(195 45 16) and they suck for traction. SUCK I had dunlop w10's, they were ok, but lasted like 15k miles. thats my input

Now for tire noise, my Pirelli P7000 Supersports were quiet as could be. I read some posts about noise on them before buying them and thought "noise, what noise???" Well, after about 10k miles on them, they sound like monster truck tires roaring down the road.
