Tires Pirelli or Tesla

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive’s are pretty epic in snow & ice

I have an X5 2021 40i M Sport package, and last week, I purchased a set of front 275/35R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 XL, rear 315/30R-22 Pirelli Scorpion Winter 2 PNCS, Noise Cancelling NON-run flats, I live in New Jersey. It snowed last night only 1 inch and rained and sleeted all day. I took a 120-mile round trip this afternoon on rt 78 today on these tires. I can tell you these tires performed excellent in the wet and ice. I had full control of the SUV. So far, tires are good.

I have them installed on my m50i and just tried them out today in the snow/slush/ice. Excellent grip overall, no sliding or wheel spinning.

Just fitted the PZero 2023 TT Race tyres. OMG. What a delight to fit. No tools needed. Straight on the rims. No need to pop them.

I have been using Pirelli PZero for a few years - TLRs 28mm on Enve Foundation 65 Hookless. Realy like them (heaps).

However the last set purchased have completely defeated me. I cannot get them onto the wheel set.

I run Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC with CushCore inserts on hookless carbon rims. I usually run 27psi, but have done as low as 24psi. I have run these very chunky and rough courses with fast downhills. I have had no trouble.

My stock tires were low on tread by 30k and needed replacing - I got Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3s and have been happy with them so far, including driving in freezing rain conditions last week.

Pirelli Sotozerro. There is only snow on the ground for maybe 5 days total but for the rest of winter I want anything BUT the loud highway drone of Blizzaks

Not the answer to your question, but I just wanted to add that when I got snow tires (Pirelli Sotozero- avoid them) I also got a set of closeout 18" wheels. Having the extra sidewall when you hit potholes and/ or ice chunks helps save the rims.

F1 tires make me so angry this season. In at least 50% of the races they are waaay too durable, like you could do a 0-stop race. Because Pirelli are a bunch of cowards who are scared to death of races with 2 or more stops
