Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.

I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 on my wife's MK6 Jetta and I like them very much as well. They are just as quite and smooth as the Michelins on my CC.

I got the same tires on my 2-door mk7 GTI. I think the tires are great but they were vibrating on the freeway so i had the deal check the balance and two of them were slightly out of balance. Rebalanced and so far so good.

I have Pirelli's on our van and am much happier with them than I am with my Michelin's on my Golf. The Pirelli's are much much better in all conditions.

Got supercorsas on my Daytona. Never ever lost grip and I've had knee toe and peg down. Amazingly sticky tyres

I notice some of the new GTIs at my dealer are coming with pirelli P7 tires vs the P zero. P7s are grand touring tires. I have them on my car and handle and ride great and theyll hopefully last longer than usual. Theyre cheaper than Mich. too. Ive bought cheap tires, mid range tires and expensive tires before and the P7s seem to be the best so far. Id recommend them. Plus, Ive purchased p zeros before and dont remember them being all that great. I am very happy with the p7 grand touring tire so far. very quiet and smooth.

Finally got back to the car this weekend to have the tires switched out from the conti to pzero. Much happier with the Perilli. Can certainly tell the stiffer sidewall, feels like it did with my original oem tires.

despite what people say, the n3000's are that bad. i've had a set for a while now on my could, 195-45-15 on a 15x8, and i've driven the piss out of it, and they've got pretty impressive dry traction and cornering for as cheap as they are... traction goes way down in the rain though, not horrible, but not good either, haha.

I had Nexen N3000's on the S2000 when I purchased it. While I know they aren't N5000's, they seemed to have an odd reputation on message boards. The 3000's were deemed fairly acceptable for the first half of their tread life, but then horrid at the second half. They went from having a bit of grip to driving on frozen hockey pucks. Mine were already fairly worn on the S2000, and they were SCARY. They were promptly replaced with appropriate rubber for the car.

My Pirellis got very noisy at 20K and were badly cupped by 30K. I wouldn't recommend replacing them with another set of the same tire.
