For those of you with PP. Are you still running your stock Pirelli? or did you swap the tires to another brand? if so, which manufacturer and make?

Most guys are switching the Pirelli, but some are using their factory tires till they wear out and invest into a new set of rubber.

I am in WA. Its been under 45 and sometimes low 20's in the morning. My whole car is iced over. I really didnt feel comfortable driving on these. I only took the stang when it was near 40. They take a while to warm up and dealing with these idiot drivers up here i wanted confidence in my tires. I got the BFG Gforce Comp2 A/S. Love them. Handle the cold great and i dont get that low speed turning wheel hop from cold butt Pirellis.

I like the Sumitomo HTR Z III. I've put them on for my last 4 tire changes, if you count my previous vehicle. Hard to beat the performance/price.

I just purchased a set of Continental ExtremeContact DW's. Still waiting on them, but even here in Texas the stock pirelli's are terrible. 55*F out and the car will not get traction at all until 3rd gear.

I'm keeping the original Pirelli's until they wear out then replacing with Conti DWS or BFG G-Force Comp-2 A/S. I'll never use the summer tires to their full potential and don't want to keep 2 sets of tires.

I have BFG g-Force Sport COMP-2. I haven't had a chance to feel them out with aggressive driving, but just running around town and doing some highway cruising, they are great. They are a summer tire so they do get a little hard at lower temps, but I don't think they're as bad as the Pirellis were. I've been down to about 30deg and I think they're still a little better than the Pirellis were at 45-50deg.

I wish I had more experience with them on this car so I could give a better review. I don't see any reason to believe they will not be good when driving more aggressively, especially in warmer temps. I had them on my GTI and loved them, but that's a different application I guess. Lighter car, fwd, less power.

I will use up the P- Zeros and then mostly likely get Conti DWs.

I have no complaints with the P- Zeros but I wouldn't consider them again because of the price and wear.
