Tires Pirelli or NANKANG

I bought 17" rims and Pirelli Sottozero 3 performance winters. The one time they saw snow last year was a ton of fun and they handled it like a champ. The other 99% of the time, when they were driven in the rain, they were awesome.

mine came with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus, for the 18\" autobahn trim wheels.

thankfully i opted for the wheel / tire protection and that paid off. ive had every tire replaced at least once, and finally just switched to pirelli's which i have loved for the past year and a half.

I have run P7s on over 4 different cars and I love them for all seasons. However, the Sottozero high performance winter tire rocks!

The closest you'd get is a set of Pirelli slicks for track/race use, or P-Zero Trofeo if you wanted something road legal.

Although [Pirelli P-Zeros](https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/car/find-your-tyres/products-sheet/p-zero#/overview) are a pretty amazing street tyre that come on a lot of new high performance cars

I'm running the stock Pirelli P7's that came OE on the car. Currently have 7100 miles. Pressure set to recommended 37 Psi. Tires are quiet and smooth around town and on most roads. Quiet at HWY speeds as well, except on concrete where they seem to drone a bit. No perceived harshness (to me) on nearly all surfaces.

I had some back in like 2002 or so, not bad, not great but definately not a high quality tire.. does the job if you just need something for basic use

Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.

I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
