Tires Pirelli or NANKANG

+1 on the Pirelli Elect. Went to 18s for my M3P and the tire is super comfortable, quiet, and naturally more efficient.

Replaced with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. So much better! Smoother and firmer

Needed to replace tires, got Pirelli P7 Plus 3, 225 / 45 R18. Anyone is looking for a quieter ride, I'm really pleased with these tires. Road noise significantly reduced from the Vredestein Quadtrack Pro that came on the car. Very happy with corning, road holding, rain.

The P Zero All-Season may be your best bet if you're set on all-seasons. They were fine when I had one of the previous scorpion AS iterations on my E53, seemed to be a good value.

Only other thing I'm seeing available is discount tire with a Nitto NT420V. I'd take the Pirelli over that.

Ridden both tires (well the GP5000 TLR not the STR) and both are brilliant. Pirellis are easier to fit and seem sturdier but that's just based on my experience. Both are great tires so I'd get which ever has the best price

I use tubeless 30mm P-zeros on my roadbike, I put 2300 miles on them from new last year (3700km). The rear tire is done for, it looks like your front tire, it has chunks of the carcass missing and I can see the inner layers. This isn’t surprising because the rear tire wears out faster than the front because most of your weight is on the rear and the driven wheel also wears out the tire faster. I’m also 280 pounds so that shortens the life span too. But the front tire still looks good, I’m thinking I’ll get about a half season more out of it. I bought a new p-zero to mount on the rear, and I’ll keep buying them one at a time to replace each tire as they wear out. I’ve been very happy with the performance of these tires so far

I had the same problem - it was a Pirelli P zero that balanced ok but seemed to have a construction problem. I could move the vibration around by rotating tires. New tires cured the problem - perfect balance at 80mph now.

NS2 review: I've never been able to get them balanced properly and they're loud. Even forced balanced on brand new wheels, I got highway vibrations. That said, they're inexpensive, last decently long for the price, handle water extremely well and they stretch nicely. They handle water better than falken 512's, 452's and hankook v12 evo's. I've had 4 sets and I've never had a bubble or other failure.

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.
