Tires Pirelli or NANKANG

I had an e46 with a set of P-Zero Nero's years ago so perhaps things have changed but mine were great, kicked the shit outta those garbage Michelins that were on there

Personally, I’ve never had any issues with any consumer pirelli tire I’ve ran before. Their ice zeros are great on my wrx in winter.

I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

I live in Canada about 200 miles north of Seattle. Pirelli came on my car which I use 6 months and then Michelin winters the other 6 months. I will be looking for new all seasons next spring and would definitely consider the Falken. I’ve heard good things about them and great price.

went with Pirelli Centauro and couldn't be happier. Great grip and nice and quiet.

I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.

Last week I replaced the ecopia OEM on my 2021 cx9 CE to pirelli scorpions at $258 per tire. The Pirelli’s are great so far. I’m also getting better FE. Almost 1.5mpg more than what I got on ecopias

I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.

My scorpions only lasted 15k miles , I was super unhappy with them

Honestly, the Pirelli Scorpions kinda suck. I just passed 20k on our Badlands and there is no way these tires will make it to 30k. Performance is also just mediocre.
