Tires Pirelli or OEM Toyota

If you don’t have much snow I would recommend Pirelli Cinturati All-season SF3. They are brilliant.

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).

The sipes on the Pirelli tire are not full depth. I found that out when I had a set of AS2s. Great for initial testing and reviews, however, after they wear out, they basically become summer tires. Just something to consider.

If you drive conservatively, they might last. If you drive a performance/sports car and you like to drive like you have a pulse, then they won’t last very long, you’ll want more than they can provide, and they love to squeal like a pig.

Just got the Michelins put on this morning. I got 32,000 on the Pirelli’s and could have gotten a few more had I been better at rotating, no complaints on wear but they suuuuuuck in snow.

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.
