Tires Pirelli or Vredestein

FWIW, I have a 2012 SEL (not 4-motion), still with the original Scorpion Verde tires at 43,000 miles. They still have a few miles left before they need replacement (probably this summer). As far as winter performance, here in San Diego the only issue we really have is rain, and I've never noticed any issue, even after last winter's record rainfall. YMMV.

Basically got all the Red Bull/Vettel Era Sponsors covered, drink tons of Red Bull, wear an Edifice Watch, sport Geox Shoes, Pepe Jeans, have Pirelli Tires and even bought an Infiniti.

I was looking for the same size but Kijiji'ed a 1-year old set of Pirelli Winter Carvings, on steelies, for 340. Checked the wheels for rust/cracks, treads, consistent pressure across tires.

I bought 17" rims and Pirelli Sottozero 3 performance winters. The one time they saw snow last year was a ton of fun and they handled it like a champ. The other 99% of the time, when they were driven in the rain, they were awesome.

mine came with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus, for the 18\" autobahn trim wheels.

thankfully i opted for the wheel / tire protection and that paid off. ive had every tire replaced at least once, and finally just switched to pirelli's which i have loved for the past year and a half.

I have run P7s on over 4 different cars and I love them for all seasons. However, the Sottozero high performance winter tire rocks!

I haven't had any issues with vibration, but have noticed more road noise on my Pirellis after 20 K. Probably won't get another set.

Skip the P-zeros, I hate mine. There's so much road noise I feel like the tires are made of cement sometimes.

My car came with the P-Zeros from the factory and they are the worst tires I've ever owned.
