Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I am running 235/35/19 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3’s on the OEM Englishtowns. In terms of performance, I would say they are really good I didn’t have any issues with braking or accelerating

We have the optional 21" wheels with T rated Pirelli Scorpion tires. Plenty firm, and it doesn't wallow around at all.

I had a set of those in 31x10.5x15. I really liked them. I kept the pressures around 25-27 psi had them for almost 30k miles.

I currently have perelli sottozero 3 on my Stinger, which have been fantastic during winter track days and are rated for higher speeds than the x ice 3s are.

A few months after owning my 2018 SEL-P I wound up replacing all four tires. It shipped with Continentals and I replaced them with Pirellis, the difference in road noise was like upgrading an entire class of vehicle. It's not funny how loud the Conties were and how much quieter the Pirelli are at the same size/wheel/etc.

I've got the Pirelli P7 (P Zero doesn't come in my size) and it's been pretty great. Amazing wet grip, really helps in the Pac NW. No issues with cooler temps, although they're just okay on snow and ice. Can't speak to treadwear yet, they're still pretty new.

Those Pirellis consistently test among the best UHP tires money can buy. Expect around 30% longer tread life than the Firestones, however, even the latter should last at least 50k km.

I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.

The 18s on my GTI have tons of cracks.

And out of all the tires I've ever purchased, Bridgestone/Firestones have been the worst ( only exception were the FR710s on my Aura.) Followed by the garbage Nexens I had on the Optima.
