I slid twice on the original when it was raining and the tires still had good tread on it. I got a set of Toyo Proxes A/S around 45,000 miles and they feel great.
I fitted the same tires this summer on my Audi A5. UK, Essex. Very pleased with them for now, done about 3000 mls on them. My only concern about this tires is life expectancy.
I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.
They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.
I have an SUV with these tires I live in Luxembourg so the weather is more the least identical and I went on holiday to Portugal in the summer I caught very hot days on a very motorway and they are still very good.
I've just bought the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for my car (Mazda 3 2.0 186hp). I live in south of Germany where there isn't much snow and the temperatures are mostly around -5 to 10C from December to March. The summer tyres I've got with the car (Toyo Proxes R51A) are actually worse on wet than most premium all seasons (at least according to the label), so I'm losing "just" some of the dry grip in the summer. I drive only like 6-7k km/year. For now they feel surprisingly good (around 5-10C outside) especially in wet - actually not much different than the UHP Hankook summer tyres I had on my previous car (were probably a complete overkill for the car).
Stock Toyo tire on '20 Mazda3 w/ the low profile tires was prone to sidewall bulging when it encountered potholes. Haven't had an issue after switching to bfgoodrich. Otherwise, nothing.
My opinion, Pirelli was at one time a very good brand if you were looking for a performance tire, in recent years though it seems that they have become complacent and aren't really trying to innovate and as such have become a mediocre tire company at best. But for a decent low cost tire, Kumho is a fair bet.
The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.
Had toyo on my Nissan Maxima. They came when I bought the car new back in 07 the worst tires I ever owned, after less then a year slow leaks on one tire then another tire, wore very fast and just never liked their performance
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.
