Tires Pirelli or OEM BMW

Always been a fan of the Pirelli Scorpion A/Ts, they perform better in the rain IMO. While I know you may be thinking, \u201cbuddy I\u2019m not riding in the rain\u201d, you will be hitting little creeks or riding on wet grass every so often.

I fitted the same tires this summer on my Audi A5. UK, Essex. Very pleased with them for now, done about 3000 mls on them. My only concern about this tires is life expectancy.

I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.

They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.

I have an SUV with these tires I live in Luxembourg so the weather is more the least identical and I went on holiday to Portugal in the summer I caught very hot days on a very motorway and they are still very good.

I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).

Switched them over to Pirelli AS3 and now I understand! What I gained in grip I gave up in harshness.

Pirelli makes great sport tyres, but they wear out unbelievably fast.

For example, my mercedes came with the worst runftlat tires from Pirelli. Those run flats felt like shit after 10k miles. Unusable and felt dangerous at 14k. Replaced at 15k when costco had proper non runflat tires from Michelin.

I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me ,  in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible

This summer, I swapped out my Pirelli's at around 21k on a 2021 EX. I was starting to hydroplane with minimal water on the road. Although costly, I'm glad I did. The new ones make the ride so much better.
