Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

I like the pzero tlr a lot. I’m running 30s.

I love my PZero TLR Road tires. I also have tried the Specialized S-Works Mondo's. I can buy them cheap, but I opted to buy another set of the Pirelli's.

They are good summer tires. Above average for an OEM tire. I live in rural Ontario and would not use them in winter. Disclaimer: I am a dedicated winter tire guy.

I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.

For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.

Tire store employees say Conti is best overall. I have the Pirellis and hard to imagine a quiter, smoother, UHP all season.

For 7k you should be able to find pretty good tyres for your Volvo. I looked around a bit this year and found last years NAF test winner for under 10k for a bigger dimension for my car, including mounting on rims. Look for the ones from NAF tyre test just under the winner, like the Pirellis that scored okay but not great are within your price range, at least here in Norway, and way safer than these unknown China tyres.

I run the Pirelli on my B9.5 S4 and no complains so far, heading into first full winter together so I'll see how it goes.

I still love the R1Rs, but they are not good in the wet, IMO. I'll throw in a +1 for the Yoko AD09s.... they grip somewhat better than the R1R and are way, way better in the rain.

Just ordered a set for my Limestone R1T Quad this week. The OEM tires are now at 32,000 miles and the road noise has just gotten too much to tolerate.

Today was my first drive into work on the new Yokohama YK-GTX tires. I normally average just over 5mi/kw, today it was just over 4mi/kw. I expected some range hit with new tires, but this seems a bit much. Is this expected, or is their arbitrary range scoring complete garbage?
