Pirelli is a great brand on its own, but this tire replaces a previous model and has a longer tread-wear rating.

These are by far the best all season tires I have ever had! Been through many tires in my life. I'm on my second set because I like them that much. They are on my awd Infiniti sedan. They are directional, so if the are installed incorrectly, they will cause issues. Live in the midwest where they handle perfectly in snow and ice, as well as the other conditions. Great traction, quiet, and great wear. Also highly rated on tire rack.
