A few months after owning my 2018 SEL-P I wound up replacing all four tires. It shipped with Continentals and I replaced them with Pirellis, the difference in road noise was like upgrading an entire class of vehicle. It's not funny how loud the Conties were and how much quieter the Pirelli are at the same size/wheel/etc.
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
I've got the Pirelli P7 (P Zero doesn't come in my size) and it's been pretty great. Amazing wet grip, really helps in the Pac NW. No issues with cooler temps, although they're just okay on snow and ice. Can't speak to treadwear yet, they're still pretty new.
Those Pirellis consistently test among the best UHP tires money can buy. Expect around 30% longer tread life than the Firestones, however, even the latter should last at least 50k km.
i have the toyo m/t's. they're 37x13.5 r17 and they ride super smooth. you can definitely hear them a little bit but they are the least noisey m/t tires i've owned. i've also been told by multiple shops / people that i have one of the smoothest riding lifted trucks they've ever driven. so that says something about these tires. i'd personally recommend them
I live in Worcester and work in Boston, I get no days off (state nursing supervisor)... I\u2019ve been running Sottozero 3\u2019s since I bought the car and they haven\u2019t dusappointed me. I\u2019ve even hit a couple unavoidable bridge expansion joint craters on 9/128/pike and they\u2019ve held up. I guess I\u2019ve been lucky! Worcester is notorious for hills, lots of snow, and poor plowing by the DPW and I feel as confident as I did running Hakkas on my prior TDI Golf.
The PA4's shine on dry cold roads, i had their Pirelli equivalent (Sottozero 3s) and while not amazing in deep snow or standing up to potholes, when its clear cold roads they had grip for days.
I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.
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.
