Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days

I run the 220tw PZero on my MK7.5 GTI. Nevertheless, a great tire. Plenty of grip, not bad in the rain and can take the abuse of the occasional track day- I’m really surprised as to how they can handle the heat cycle and wear evenly at the track. On the street- they offer more performance than you can throw at them. Daily driving, they don’t wear as quickly as you’d expect a tire in the low 200tw range to wear.

Reliable. 30k miles. No issues at all except for the Pirellis that were worn way faster than expected.

Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.

I will say that I've had a really good experience with the pirelli pzeros that I have on mine, they're super grippy.

Yokohama avid on my xse non-premium as well. We just got our first snow here in Maryland, and it performed exceptionally imo.

I've had the Pirelli's on my Touareg for about two years now, lots of highway and towing miles. I've put around 12k miles on the Scorpion Verde's and love them. Very responsive and no road noise. Haven't had any issues in wet conditions

Pirelli P7 here. 13k miles on them so far. Still baffles me that VW would put a grand touring tire on the GTI but honestly somehow it works. They aren't bad, not great. In terms of comfort and road noise I think they are great, but are mediocre when it comes to handling.

I own a few cars that I have P Zeros on. Forget snow, when it's below about 45F or so they don't hook up, when it's below freezing they're hard, and when temps are in the single digits/teens they're downright scary.

My car came with Pirelli P zeros from the factory. They were awful. Run Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics now and they are much much better. Especially in the wet.
