Tires Pirelli or Nexen

Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActives so far have been great on my XC90.

Our XC90 just got fitted with Pirelli scorpions... Smooth as butter.

I mostly have stuck with Pirelli Scorpions and have been very happy. The Pirelli Scorpion Verde model gets a bit better gas mileage and is quiet.

OEM Nexen on my Hyundai. Surprisingly great tires. I had always been a Michelin guy, but when the time comes I might get another set of Nexens, especially seeing their price.

I've been running a set for 3+ years now. City driving of 40km daily. Tread is still good and road noise is non existent.

I had the SF3 for 1 year and 40k km. Great, great tire. Quiet, comfortable, good grip in all conditions. They still had a lot of thread (4mm) but one of the rear ones developed some cuts on the inside. The SF3 felt a little too nervous with direction change. BUT, they were so much cheaper than the CC3S that I think they are still the best.

It depends. I have the P Zero on my S2000 and they are good. The Bridgestone Potenza were better but not by much, the Michelin Pilot Sport were worse. On the other hand I have the Cinturato on my Focus Wagon and they suck sweaty balls. They are so bad I just put on some random Nexen M+S tires for winter and the car drivers better. I mean. WTF.

The tire in your picture is damaged from an impact like a pothole. You can see the rubber transfer on the rim. I have a Calligraphy with 21" wheels, and the OE Pirelli is $653. They are foam lined and offer a quiet ride, but i will definitely be replacing them with a Michelin or Continental as soon they reach 4/32nds. The replacement tires will probably cost half as much as OE.

PIRELLI TIRES ARE THE WORST TIRES I EVER PURCHASED. I GIT 10,OOO MILES ON Them ALMOST BALD!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT LUKE I DO

Stay away. I had to replace their P-Zero tires at 9700 miles. Complete garbage.
