Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I've been AutoX-ing my MkVII this year as well. Nothing too serious though, just more for the fun of getting out and tearing around in the car and meeting lots of great people. I went with tires/wheels this season rather than a tune as many others have, not only to stay in GS, but also because the stock Pirelli P7s just didn't cut it, even for street driving, it would only be worse with more power. I went with a nice easy package from Tirerack on some wheels that were 5lbs lighter per corner and I couldn't pass up on the closeout pricing for the Direzza ZIIs. I only wish I had done it sooner! The added grip really did transform the car, turn-in is so much crisper, and most of the time you can really get the car to go where you want to put it. Rotation is greatly improved too, I'm continuously amazed at how well this car rotates for a heavy FWD.

I'm running Pirelli PZero Corsa System and enjoy them

Pirelli Nero series, or if you want that round look with quite a lot of performance then Pilot Super Sport...

These are rare, look great and are durable. The tires only have about 5k miles on them and show minimal tire wear.

btw, i run nexen n3000 tires and love them.

The general consensus was that 235/40 should fit just fine with no rubbing on stock wheels and suspension. Do keep in mind, PSS tires are a tad wider than stock Pirelli.

Ended up ordering the last set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s in the country from tire rack. I'm getting them installed today.

The P Zero Neros were not that great in snow, so unless the Falkens are spinning in thier tracks I can't imagine a great improvement there.

Skip the P-zeros, I hate mine. There's so much road noise I feel like the tires are made of cement sometimes.

My car came with the P-Zeros from the factory and they are the worst tires I've ever owned.
