Tires (Summer/Winter/All-Season)

[ColdCase]

I now have about a year and 8,000 miles on a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season. These EV tuned Pirellis are nice tires, responsive, balanced well but, as expected, on a 80 F day not as sticky as the OEM Ventus. Lateral traction feels about the same but I can spin the tires a bit which was rare with the OEM Ventus. They sing on some road surfaces but are quieter than the 20,000 mile Ventus they replaced. They have either been getting quieter with miles, or my hearing is going. Range seems to be a little better than the OEMs and the tread still look brand new. It was nice to be able to drive safely in cold weather. These low profile tires do not isolate bumps well.

I finally decided to keep a spreadsheet of my tire longevity. I recently got four new Goodyear summer tires and immediately logged the date of mounting and odometer. I'll update when I switch to my winter wheels and back again, eventually knowing exactly how many miles are put on before replacement.

I'm intending to do the same with my winter tires, but I'm mid-use with them, and I've only been replacing them in pairs so it'll be a bit more challenging.
