Tires Pirelli or Nexen

If you do a lot of highway miles, get the P4's I've had these on a 13 civic and after 60k miles they had 7/32nd left on the tread when I traded the car in.

I've always run Michelin and love them. Needed new tires for a long trip and my dealer didn't have 4 of em so I went with Perelli. Saved about $500 and really liked the ride. On my second set of Perellis now and have no complaints.

I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.

I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem

We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.

I just got the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 today and from the little experience I have, I’m very happy with them. Very quiet compared to the OEM Yokohamas that came on the 18” wheels.

Another vote for the Pirelli AS Plus Scorpions. They compliment the CX9 very well. Great handling dry and wet. Good highway ride. Quiet and comfortable.

I have 10k on the Pirellis. Haven’t checked remaining tread yet, but they’re decent. Only gripe is they track on grooved pavement.

The pirellis p zeros that came on my car are worse than my Michelin all seasons for grip.

I had Pirellis on my RS3 when I bought it, and they were absolute trash lol.
