Tires Pirelli or MRF

Always been a fan of the Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts, they perform better in the rain IMO. While I know you may be thinking, \u201cbuddy I\u2019m not riding in the rain\u201d, you will be hitting little creeks or riding on wet grass every so often.

I fitted the same tires this summer on my Audi A5. UK, Essex. Very pleased with them for now, done about 3000 mls on them. My only concern about this tires is life expectancy.

I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.

They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.

I have an SUV with these tires I live in Luxembourg so the weather is more the least identical and I went on holiday to Portugal in the summer I caught very hot days on a very motorway and they are still very good.

I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).

My opinion, Pirelli was at one time a very good brand if you were looking for a performance tire, in recent years though it seems that they have become complacent and aren't really trying to innovate and as such have become a mediocre tire company at best. But for a decent low cost tire, Kumho is a fair bet.

The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.

Had the same tires and the same thing happened. Most expensive tires I'd ever bought and they let me down. I use Bridgestone now for price and quality balance

I used to work for Benz as a tech. Nothing but problems with Pirelli. They has become a shell of what they used to be. Total garbage but still a high price tag. I’m a Michelin fan if you can stomach the cost. Continental or Bridgestone as alternatives.

I have a 2024 Hyundai sante fe. (SUV)

With Pirelli tires scorpion MS 245/45 R21.

Not even 6k on the car and the sidewall bubbled.
