Tires Pirelli or OEM Volkswagen

I’m running Pirelli Cinturato P7 winter tires. This is the best snow driving car I’ve ever owned; must have to do with the small mass of the car.

I've used Blizzak, Pirelli (don't remember model), Continental Viking Contact and now Vredestein Wintrac Pro+. Blizzaks were great, Pirellis made a lot of noise on wet pavement - first time I thought I had something failing in the drivetrain. Continentals were good, but when they were almost done they failed in a really weird (scary) way that caused a lot of instability and the wet traction basically went to zero. I'm on a brand new set of Vredesteins now and so far they've been good.

If you buy it, I recommend the Pirelli Angel GT2 tires; they work very well on this bike.

I had Pirelli's on my VW and Hyundai and I never lost traction in the winter.

I highly recommend Pirelli P4 Persist's, they're really good. They'll last a long time and handle well in all sorts of weather, of course you still gotta be careful in heavy rain and snow though.

Heavy air.

So this are the balancing bricks everyone is talking about

Our used XC90 came with Pirelli 21s (assuming OEM, car has 47k miles), which are very noisy. I've dealt with it for over a year

While braking on the big straight away, every single time I was sliding, ABS kicked on, and I had to counter steer, these tires are awful and got scrubbed hard. Imo I was not overdriving though, I didn't skid much, where I did, it was very brief.

Originally came with new car 20k mile Perelli’s so I had to put new tires on fairly early
