Tires Pirelli or Vredestein

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 have them on my small SUV. No complaints so far.

Quatrac Pros are the sport/uprated version of the Quatrac 5, which get great reviews for all-weather traction (being 3 peak mountain snowflake rated) and overall good performance.

After reading his chart I ordered Quatrac 5 and it’s been a good tire for about 8k miles thus far. My efficiency only took a slight hit.

Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...

I have had a few Pirelli tires. The only Pirelli tire I was ever impressed with were the Rosso's and the Corsa's. One thing to mention is Pirelli mileage warranties have always been inflated (as well as many other companies). Do not expect 50k out of these and track every rotation and do them on time. With other Pirelli performance all season tires they were good for the first 1/3 of tread then got borderline undividable in snow and heavy rain. More noticeable than other competitors when worn. One thing to note is I have always liked the Pirelli sidewall stiffness compared to Michelin and Continental.

The stock Pirelli Cinturato P7s were quite worn at 29K miles...the poorest wearing tire Ive ever experienced in nearly 4 million miles of driving. What I liked about the Pirellis: Very good steering feel Very good dry grip Quite comfortable What I did not like about the Pirellis: Very poor wet grip 29K miles is a bit dismal

Yep they are an outdated tire. I hated them on my 2012 Mustang GT.
