Hi Guys

I am about to replace my original Pirelli P-Zero tires.I got 31,000 kms out of them,which I though wasn't to bad.I know they are a soft tire and was wondering if I shouild stat with them or is there a better street tire out there that will give you a comfortable ride and get better mileage out of them.I know the Pirelli thread is low and why the mileage is not to be expected to be up in the 40.000 - 50,000 kms range.Anyone with experience or advice would be gladly appreciated.

20,000 miles isn't really great overall but for a "performance" tire probably not terrible.

My 2010 had Goodyear Eagle Sport all seasons on it when I got it. I put 33,000 miles on them and figured they had at least 10K on them when I got the car.

Rears were not quite to the wear bars - (they were when I got to the tire store

) and the fronts were about half wear or a little more.

The fronts were showing some cracking on the sidewalls so I elected to replace all 4 since I will run at higher speeds sometimes. My car is every day driver/toy so the Eagle All Seasons work well for me.

I’ve been really happy with my bfg comp2’s they were on it when I got it, about 3/4 tread. The rears are about done (damn that skinny pedal) but the fronts have probably 1/2 tread left. I’m going back with them here pretty soon for the rears.

Firestone Indy 500's hard to be for the money. Really they are Bridgestones.

sscamaro · 03-26-2020, 11:59 AM

I went thru 2 sets of Pirelli P-Zero tires, one set of BF Goodrich tires. Only got about 20K miles on each set and I don't spin the tires. Last year I put Continental tires on my SS which has 68K miles on it. Check on Tire Rack for a comparison of any tire you are after. Check the tread wear spec on the tires you might want to buy. I did that and Continental had the best wear warranty. I just bought Continental tires for my 2017 Silverado truck because of the better tread wear.

I've also ran (and still running on the front) the Firestone Indy 500. I have had good luck with them and also think they perform well. Especially for the price. I've got about 25k on my fronts right now and still have life left.

1JEWLDSSRS · 03-26-2020, 01:09 PM

I run the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 front and back and have had really good wear out of them. I now have 113000 miles on the car and only have had 2 sets on the front, second set was installed at 98000 miles. The rears have great traction when they are new, but if you do any burnouts, and I do, they don't last that long, maybe about 45000. But all in all they are a great all season tire, drive great in the rain and are smooth and quiet, and look good and the price is nice.. I really like them..

Axe55 · 03-26-2020, 01:16 PM

I'm also a fan of the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06's, I would recommend those.

If money is no object, I know Michelin Pilot Super Sports are often rated pretty highly as well, I've never had a set myself though.

Stay away from good year tires , horable rubber compounds that crack and let air through leading to bulges in side wall or separations at the belts, they are some the worst tires made

That is what I am running and I love them. They were some of the cheapest of all the name brand tires I could find at the time and they have great reviews too.

I’m running Nitto 555 G2 tires.

I get 32,000 to 39,000 out of Delinte Desert Storm D8. They are directional. They were on my car when I bought it. On my second set. No hydroplane. Good ride. Oddly enough, they are listed as a SUV tire.

Yes.

I figure ANY tire that will last my dumb ass over 30K miles in this car has good mileage wear qualities!
