Tires Pirelli or SUNNY

Got lucky and read this info somewhere years ago when I bought my 15. Pirelli Winter Sottozeros 3's, the thing is unbelievable in any type of inclement weather.

I honestly look forward to swapping to my downsized 205/55 16 winter tires (GSW) because they're noticeably less harsh and quieter than the stock 45 series Pirelli P7s on rougher roads.

Hi everyone, I just got an e-Golf a couple of months ago and wanted to upgrade my wheels. I ended up with the Belverdere GTi TCR wheels as they're supposed to be the lightest stock 18 that VW do. They came with Bridgestone Potenzas on them that have an E fuel efficiency rating and they drop my miles/kwh from 5 on a careful run to 3 on a careful run. After hunting online, I found a set of Pirelli P7 Blue Cinturatos, which are rated A for fuel efficiency and got them fitted. I'm now back up to 5 miles/kwh with careful driving.

They are very good tires. I have run them on a GLI, Passat GT, Golf R and two Audi A4’s. They are really good on dry cold pavement. Low road noise. They do very good in snow, rain and bad weather. They do OK in deep snow. They are performance winter, so they will handle very well.

I have those Pirelli’s on my Focus and they are very quiet and pretty comfortable.

I'm running Neuspeed RSe16s 17x8.0 45mm with 235/45/17s on stock suspension - zero rub, plenty of clearance, wheels almost flush. One thing I found out with tire size and ride quality, the tires themselves matter as much as sizing. I initially put on Bridgestone RE980AS XLs and they were brittle and hard as a rock with the standard suspension. A switch to grand touring Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus XL made ALL the difference in ride, sacrificing a few tenths of speed on freeway onramps and a bit of capability in the wet. It was worth it.

Our 18 SEL came with Pirelli Scorpion Verdes which have been great.

I'm assuming they are the all season PZero Nero (not sure if they made a summer tire) They are "okay" tires. not great in the wet or snow, and I always end up being concerned about what they are going to do in a corner.

I have those on my Mustang right now and they have no where near the performance of the outgoing P Zeros.

The 18s on my GTI have tons of cracks.
