Tires Pirelli or Vredestein

I do a decent amount of gravel or clay road driving with some but less sand too. Decided to go Pirelli Scorpion A/T plus and there's been no issues at stock hieght.

I am on my third different set of 19" M+S tires on my 2017 Golf R - and I am also a Tahoe area skier - first I had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS - they were good. Then I tried the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Revised Compound X -- they were better -- actually one time I went over Mt Rose in a white-out blizzard, on top of at least 2" of ice, and the Pirellis gave me great traction and handling.

As for my Arteon I bought these 6 months ago and I absolutely love them. They're made in Norway and are all season but they're also severe snow rated and I can confirm they perform way better than most all seasons in the snow. Super quiet grand touring tire.

I have them on my 2019 Audi A4. We often have clear roads in the winter here in Boston, so I buy performance winter tires. The Wintracs have been excellent. They are fairly quiet and they handle well in all of the winter conditions that I’ve encountered.

My V60PE has Vredstein Wintrac Pros .. have not used them in the snow, but they feel great in the dry. Not summer performance tires, but stable and drive really well.

These are a great tire and maintain the proper OD on a 15x7 wheel

I have Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus for about a year, and 20k km (the passenger version not LT). I am pleased with them, because they have good handling. The grip on unsealed road seems satisfactory.

So I went ahead and purchased a set of Pirelli P Zero. What I am concerned about is that when I asked about the DOT date, the guy at the tire shop told me that the tires were made in the 24th week of 2016.

Pirelli: hey, our tyres are about 8 years out of date, we really need to try new stuff

All of F1: Ok, we'll test them for you.

Post-test: WE HATE THESE TYRES, WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP THE OLD ONES?

Pirelli need to face consequences for their reckless misjudgment of tyres here. Both Stroll and Max were put in incredibly dangerous situations due to their negligence.
