Default Anyone try the Pirelli non runflats/non winter tires on their SC?

My 15 second forum search for Pirelli didn't show up anything obvious.

I know most people have tried and gone with the Michelins but I have the opportunity to buy some Pirellis at a very reasonable price.

I had them on my C70 once, I really liked how they road.

Anyone have any opinions?

I haven't run any Pirelli tires on any of my vehicles......if you liked them on your C70, I would think you would like them on the Sc. Also a "very reasonable" price,might be enough to persuade me...lol

I removed a set of Pirelli centurado p1's after 5k miles that the dealer had put on for the previous owner and adding the Michelins fixed the steering wander, noisy/ harsh ride.

made in China. Sold them to be used on a BMW.

....I run Michelin on all my vehicles & haven't had an issue with them. I have run Goodyear in the past, without issues either

I use Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s on everything! They are the bomb when it comes to looks, performance, price and especially the lack of road noise. They made an appreciable difference in our SC quality of ride and performance~ Tire Rack has them ... $165 ea last time I looked. I'm even changing out my Goodyear F1 super performance POS on my Dodge Charger Scatpack with them and the car is brand new! The ratings on them on every car sight I visit and at TireRack are superb.

But... tires are like french fries.... all of them are pretty good. some are better than others... but some are just the bomb for the pickings. Good luck with your adventure.... oh.. do you want fries with that?

I absolutely hate the harshness of RFT's. I run regular UHP all seasons 225/40r18's (Toyo Exstensa HP's) on my stock wheels and Achilles ATR Sport 2's on my 20's.
