I don't know... I've had Pirelli's on most cars I've owned (factory equip.).... and they were mostly JUNK... Just like these (on the SRT-10). :dontknow: The SUCK in the rain! :mad: Wear like SHIT.... and look bad (to me). :confused: :( The one's on my Porsche Cayenne were TERRIBLE. :mad: I went through 2 sets because of cupping. :dontknow: :confused:

I'm not looking for new tires for the "turd".... as I am not planning on keeping it much longer. But, just thought I would state my opinion. :eek:

Seems having these tires is worse than having your sister work in a whorehouse. Insult to injury, you have to wear a dress when you drive a vehicle with these tires. :dontknow: :D

On a serious note, tire rack has them listed as summer tires, not all-season.....anyone driven them in the cold and rain?

I thought they were all season. M/S on the sidewall,but for VERY light snow only.

How did the "Indian" make the windshield wipers literally FLY OFF the car, the first time I used them?!?! :dontknow: :mad: :rolleyes: (In TURENTIAL RAIN, I might add..... )

I used to be the same (weird about brands).If it weren't for the positive reviews and feedback from forum members,I would not have bought them.The Pirellis are less than awe-inspiring and I have a grudge against BFGs,and I don't like the prices on some of the other brands(which also have questionable results),so that logically leaves...............General Grabber UHPs.:D
 
I have to say that im not impressed with the factory Pirellis!! My 06 Reg Cab only has a couple thousand miles on it and I could sweat that during the first 15-20 minutes of driving it every day I feel like im in a Amish buggy heading down a gravel road. Ive had the dealer rebalance the tires, check alignment, etc. and still no fix. The truck has only been inservice for 5-6 months and already rides like hell for the first 1/2 hour of any drive you take. I swear it seems the pirellis are too high maint. and tempermental where they will flat spot on you sitting in the driveway for more that a few hours. How did dodge pick these tires for OEM installation???? Anyone got any ideas on how I could get the dealer to take care of this vibration or do I need to go back to my dentist, tighten my fillings, and try and enjoy the ride.
