Tires Pirelli or Nexen

I love my Pirelli Scorpion AT plus. Low noise, good mileage and cheaper than most others. Look aggressive as hell

Just thought I’d share some initial impressions.

Car Details: 2020 Model 3 RWD

Original Tires: Michelin Primacy

Miles of original tires: 58,300

New Tires: Nexen N’Blue 4S2

Miles on new tires: 100-200

Road Noise

Nexen (N): quiet. I mean nothing at slow speeds and very light at hwy speeds.

Efficiency

N: Still early days, but all miles in the rain and with gusts from the recent hurricane (it’s not nearly hurricane force winds). Mainly highway this far and was around 250-260kwh.

Ride Quality

N: shockingly noticeable job absorbing bumps. Not like a new suspension, but takes the cringe out of small potholes and bumps.

I have the night dragon on my rear with no complaints

Sticking with my Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3's on my stock 19" Scottsdales. More than enough for the bit of snow we get here, perfect for the winter temperature range we get and (trigger warning for those who claim snow tires or no tires), they're M+S rated so they are legal on mountain passes here if I decide to drive through them

Going with Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 XL. Haven't had much snow last few years but do get temps cold enough to need at least all-season tires.

Nexen is amazing.....I drove above 200kph many times without any issues.

I use Nexen Roadian RA8 tires on my Tahoe and love them. $130 a piece for 265/75r16. I get a lot of snow where I live and they haven't let me down.

Hopefully Pirelli can develop a tyre that heats up quicker and slides less while cold.

Perillis are JUNK! Have had them on several cars; and refuse to put them on my Range Rover.

I absolutely hate Pirelli tires. The one time I had them on my 2013 Hatch the car didn’t feel right. It felt like it was way too slick in the rain and turns felt sluggish.
