My LS Coupe w/ Sports Pkg. was supposed to get Pirelli P6 Four Seasons tires standard but I got Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires instead. Reading the reviews at Tirerack, both tires have similar reviews (around the 7/10 range) but I'm curious if anyone else got tires that weren't the default OEM (15" Continentals or 16"/18" Pirellis).

I'm swapping the OEM tires for Goodyear TripleTreds as soon as I can anyway.

 

The SS's were the only ones that I heard of getting Pirelli tires.

 

I think michellins are better anyways.

 

no....the LS w/ sport pkg and LT are getting pirelli tires as well......

 

i didn't, but i also am getting tires for life so im ok with that

 

I got the Perrilli(sp) tires on my LS sedan

 

I got the 16" pirelli P6s on my LS coupe with sport package.

 

yea the sports pkg was suspsoe to come witht he pirelie tires but then they chnaged them over to the mchelin cuz of hold on the tires for the LS coupes that what i was told

 

I've got Michellin Pilots on my Mazda 6 and I don't like them one bit. Work like crap in the rain, and in dry conditions they don't stick. I'm trying to burn them off and I think I'm getting G force tires to replace them.

 

Yup, this is correct. The first few LS's had pirelli. Then they switched. Mine came with Michelin. Just to add to the humor, I got a warrantee card with my car's paper work for Goodyears. That made me laugh.

 

Yeah, I thought it was funny mine came with warranty cards from Pirelli, Michelin, and Goodyear.

 

How about the SS/SC owners that got W rated tires instead of z rated tires like the sticker says.

 

W goes up to 168 mph
Z goes over 149 mph

why we were suspsoe to get z rated tires?

 

so you wouldnt be limited to 168MPH with the W tires

 

i got pirelli's on my ls sport coupe
**** that michelin garbage
i wish i had Pzero's though

 

Look at the windows sticker that came with your car. Mine says Z rated tires. I emailed chevrolet about it and I got NO response.

I just sent them another email.

 

I got the P6's on mine

 

I got them shitty continental one's for the 15's, oh well, they are new lol

 

All season = Garbage

 

I got the 15" Continentals on my LT. At some point (hopefully next spring) I'm hoping to get the OEM 16's and I'll probably put BFG's on them. The Traction T/A gets excellent reviews, both my trucks had BFG's and I had good luck with them.

 

Why are you complaining that you got BETTER tires, just cuz w is lower in the alphabet than z doesn't mean that z is better. read again

z=149
w=168

W>Z

 

yeah i got michlins i heard it had to do with problems balancing the pirellis they were having problems with it and in the long run made the cars pull alot of the time

 

I call BS on this one. Not ALL all-season are garbage. Avon Tech M550 A/S which is what I bought for my new rims on my SS/SC handle better in all conditions than the darn PZero's. The ride quality is better and more smooth and the handling is definately better. Don't always judge a tire by the season rating.

 

Sorry...wrong... Z rated tires are rated for 149MPH and up +. W rated tired are rated UP TO 168MPH... kinda confusing I know... but thats the way it is... ask someone at a tire shop if you don't beleave me... so .... Z>W... if you plan on going 168+
