Tires Pirelli or Laufenn

Pirelli tires last longest

Manufacturer Innovative  tech that other tire companies lack

I worked as a tyre fitter and wheel alignment mechanic for quite a number of years and those Laufenn would be by far the best and are actually quite good tyres. Have them on my BMW.

Laufenn if you can afford it, these use the old patterns from Hankook and are essentially a sister company to them. I deal with tyres daily and would rate these above any of the other options you've been pushed towards.

Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.

I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.

Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.

Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.

Been happy with them and will keep using them.

My pzero’s last up to 15k of aggressive street driving on my 2016 mustang gt. Every autocross day takes off 1000 miles, every track day takes off 2k ish. I more or less buy a set a year, but i love how well they handle on the street, how predictable they are on the track, and they don’t love autocross but i like the challenge there.

I have the Pirelli scorpion at plus 10 plys with 60 000km so far they have been very durable, good in deep snow, about as good as you can expect for an all season on ice, good in soft ground / mud, decent on the highway under 120km/h but definitely fall short of the stock Michelins AT2’s I had on the highway.

Definitely notice the added weight and stiffer ride of the 10 ply’s. Tires are wearing well and I have not been gentle on them, expect them to last 100 000+ km.

I like my Sottozeros, good grip, quiet. I also have Corsa P Zeros that I can't wait to wear out and replace with Michelins. Kudos to Pirelli for making a consumer version of an F1 tire, fantastic grip if above 70 degrees and dry, absolute garbage otherwise. Might as well be driving on hockey pucks. Also loud as hell.

Pirelli's are junk, id switch to some Michelins.

Mine came from Berlin with PZeros (my M3LR had Pilot sports 4S´es) liked the michelin much more, Pzero is a garbage tire.

But it is decent, not a lot of roadnoise, so that is key.
