Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I'm running Neuspeed RSe16s 17x8.0 45mm with 235/45/17s on stock suspension - zero rub, plenty of clearance, wheels almost flush. One thing I found out with tire size and ride quality, the tires themselves matter as much as sizing. I initially put on Bridgestone RE980AS XLs and they were brittle and hard as a rock with the standard suspension. A switch to grand touring Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus XL made ALL the difference in ride, sacrificing a few tenths of speed on freeway onramps and a bit of capability in the wet. It was worth it.

One tyre brand I highly recommend which is cheap but performs pretty well is NEXEN

Our 18 SEL came with Pirelli Scorpion Verdes which have been great.

I have only used their previous version, Winguard Sports. Can't complain about them. They are a performance winter, so snow and ice won't be as good as a Xice Xi3, blizzak ws-80 or Hakkapeliitta tire

I'm happier on my Pirellis, and was happier still on my Hakkas.

I've only used the original winguard sports. Can't complain for the price and it's purpose. They never let me down in a blizzard...

Neuspeed Bronze RSe16 17 x 8" Wheels on Pirelli Sottozero 3 235 45R17 97V tires!!! Should be good

I ran a set of pzero nero and they were ok too, but they lost grip very early in life and got noisy. They say MS rated but they could barely handle any slush at all without squirming.

I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon

I have those on my Mustang right now and they have no where near the performance of the outgoing P Zeros.
