Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA

Just fitted the PZero 2023 TT Race tyres. OMG. What a delight to fit. No tools needed. Straight on the rims. No need to pop them.

I have been using Pirelli PZero for a few years - TLRs 28mm on Enve Foundation 65 Hookless. Realy like them (heaps).

However the last set purchased have completely defeated me. I cannot get them onto the wheel set.

I run Pirelli Cinturato Gravel RC with CushCore inserts on hookless carbon rims. I usually run 27psi, but have done as low as 24psi. I have run these very chunky and rough courses with fast downhills. I have had no trouble.

My stock tires were low on tread by 30k and needed replacing - I got Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3s and have been happy with them so far, including driving in freezing rain conditions last week.

Summer Tires: Pireli Scorpion AS plus 3s

* These tires are super smooth and quiet, amazing touring/highway tire.

* Good traction in wet conditions and in light snow but not as good in deep snow as the CC2s.

I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 which are pretty great.

All that being said, Yokohama is popular in other counties ( Australia being a big one ) and is a great tire and reputable brand.

Then switched to hyundai Genesis coupe wheels with Pirelli scorpions AS plus 3. Now I’m on 17” reika with Falken wildpeak at trail 245/65/17. I loss mpg/ev as well.

This is a common issue with those pirellis not only on volvos. They are junk.

Had these tires for 4 years with approximately 50,000 km on them. I noticed that 1 out of 4 is starting to crumble like this. I mainly do city driving.
