Tires Pirelli or Maxxis

Yeah the factory Pirelli tires are hot garage. I got new wheels and went Michelin PS4S and the difference in noise was huge. It was strange on the first highway trip, I though they just had a different sound, but it turned out the noise I was hearing was wind noise over the side mirrors that the Pirellis completely masked.

I have the Scorpion Verdes on my wife’s RDX, much better than the OEM Michelin’s they replaced. Not a pure snow tire, but not bad.

I really like Pirelli Scorpion tires. I have used them on a couple different BMW X3's. They are good for snow and bad weather; but not much for off-roading. Scorpions are mid-priced.

Pirelli Cinturato Velo will provide better grip and more durability.

For years I have been using 4seasons, but last year I decided to try something different and replaced them with Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR. Have been happy with these, my totally unprofessional feeling is that they are a bit more grippy than 4seasons.

The best blend of traction and longevity I've ridden so far is Maxxis Minions in the 60 compound. They held up to multiple days in Whistler Bike Park and were still in fine shape.

I have them on my 356 (model CA67) and absolutely love them.

I'm coming up on 20k with my original 20in pirellis. The original back set is pretty much done.

Had the Pirelli P Zero on my 2014 GTI when I originally bought it, and they were probably one of the worst tires I've had the displeasure of experiencing (esp. in the winter).

I have the standard Scorpions (10+ year old product at this point) on my Tig and they are trash. Loud as hell and don't wear well. Don't balance all that great either.
