I love donut media. But some of they just take it entirely too far with their humor and energy sometimes. I love Fitment industries they post a lot of really good info in a clear concisive way.
@@silverfalcon068 Not even close to going to far because it was funny. Also the fitment industries videos that were like that were great as well as the rest of course.
When I was in highschool, during the late-70s, the Pirelli P7 was *the* tire to have on a high-performance car. Looking back, it was the only real high-performance tire easily available to the enthusiast. Used to stare at the ads in R&T and C&D and dream about having a set on my non-existent 930. Never owned them, or any Pirelli tire to this day.
My dad owned a 1971 Toyota Corolla and he said driving that car on bumpy roads was a nightmare. He spent the high price for Pirelli radials because the OEM tires made that car a nightmare to drive over bumpy roads.
IME, the bulk of '70s Japanese cars were relatively fuel efficient, pretty reliable, and inexpensive. Driving them was a whole 'nother story. Imagine trying to get a lawn tractor to corner. At that time, German cars were the only option for a driving enthusiast and that's how many of us grew up. How the times have changed! The problem doesn't rest with the manufacturers; there's a lack of demand for a focused driving machine.
@@felixf5211 Sure, there were many things he didn't like. However, compared to the next affordable German car, the VW Super Beetle, the Toyota Corolla felt like a massive improvement.
First, a huge thanks for making a video about Pirelli. Pirelli did a great job of associating their name with expensive and fast cars, but there was a problem. Their name was barely noticed by people who drove cars that weren't expensive or fast. I worked at places that would occasionally run out of their own brand in certain sizes. These sizes were usually found on various Ford Explorers and similar size SUVs. People would look at their estimate and be stunned that a high quality and brand name tire could be sold at such a low price. They would often ask "Why haven't I heard much about the Pirelli brand?" 8:10 For a few years, I wondered what a Lancia Delta AWD felt like when compared to rally cars that were sold in the USA.
Pirelli P Zero, Hankook Ventus V12 evo. Both are great for daily city driving and road trips. Pirelli are better for all season driving (in my opinion).
I've gotten 19k miles on my small SUV that came with Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires. It's a grocery getter that got 2 years of average driving out of the stock tires. That is really bad, but not nearly as bad as Pirelli's attempts to ignore the problem and complaints about it.
I have always bought performance touring tires. Michelin, Goodyear, Hankook, Kumho and Ohtsu (Falken) have been the good brands in my years of driving. I bought a car with Pirellis once and I hated it.
I loved my P4's on my Impreza. I've got Scorpion Verde All Season Plus's on my AWD Sienna. The P7's or P Zero All Seasons are at the top of my list to replace the Firestone's on my Challenger.
@@williamreid2053 yup, I went with the Michelins. After reading countless reviews on each tire I decided the Michelins were better. I am very happy with them
I got my dad to put pirelli Scorpio verde all seasons on the 2005 Cadillac SRX (was able to find a decent discount). Definitely an improvement over the old tires it had.
Nice history vid! Since early 1980s, practically every new set of tires 2-wheel and 4-wheel I've bought have been Pirellis. Yeah, always a bit more than the other choices, but they are just so good. Performance numbers never seem that astounding, but many a time they came up with just the right amount of controllable traction, steering precision, and forgiveness to keep me 1) out front, and 2) out of trouble. But another thing that sucked me in was the Cool Factor. I can't remember the name of the motorcycle tire, but it had a diagonal tread that was so unusual, and it so perfectly matched the handling of my Yamaha XS-750 shaft-drive ride. Cinturatos on some hand-me-down Cromodora mags turned my Toyota sedan into a Fairlady Z-beater. Came upon this vid while looking for replacement tires for my new Tesla Model Y Performance, which got me looking (yet again) at Pirelli. Goodbye Michelin, hello Pirelli PZ4 "Elect" tires!! Thanks, Alex.
3 years ago when I got my first car, a jag x type I got a set of cinturato and loved it. 2 months ago the jad died, and with it, a part of me. Somehow landed in a Honda civic.
A friend told me they ran into quality issues and started lacking customer support, that's what brought me to this video. I didn't learn what I came here for.
Back un my day (early 1990's...) Perelli Tires wher ALL ABOUT Sexy cars that where FAST, hence the Ferrari F-40, and Lamborghini Diablo... I took a Marketing Class in 1992, and BLEW everyone's mind over the development of these tires and their Abilities on the track. Pirelli Tires will ALWAYS have a place in my "want" pocket when it comes to "Classic Badda**" Tires, but with Today's Technology, I'm a Michelin Man P2 MAN! Thanks for this video Erik, 🤓 -Thomas Western Washington State
I remember many ads that associated Pirelli with expensive and fast cars, but there was a downside to that. People without fast or expensive cars were unaware of the brand. Their standard truck tires have an amazing price for a good brand name tire.
If you want to see more about Pirelli's artistic side they make an exclusive calendar. They've been doing it since the 60's, also they make this calendar as a gift.
I'm running Pirelli P zero wouldn't switch to another brand on my 2010 Mustang GT staggered 255/35R20 front and 275/40R20 in the rear. Pirelli will always be the first name in performance tires in my opinion 👌🏻
Currently running the Pirelli P Zero on my Camaro. Can't decide whether to try out the Continental Extreme Contact Sport or repurchase the P Zero. Michelin are too expensive for me, so I gotta find an alternative.
I've been running Ducatis from the 996 all the way tho the 1098...dont have the 1198 yet... but the Pirelli Diablo Reds? No question the best I've ever had on my bikes. Forget the price, that doesn't matter. THEY DO THE JOB, BEST IN CLASS. And I push my babys to the limit. Boom. Pirelli. Great vid guys
Yo! I just found out you guys are from Appleton! I never thought a company like this would also be from Southwest Wisconsin. I'll definitely have to stop by and check out the store.
I've run Pirelli on my 370Z a couple of times, Qintasomething somethings, P-Zeros. Considering how much I paid for them I REALLY wanted to like them and brag them up. Sadly no, I wasn't happy with them. I ran Bridgestone S and I liked them much better. Then I went to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I will never go back. Best street tires I ever ran. Sorry Pirelli, you're cool, but I hang out with people who get the job done!
I ran a perelli cinturados that were 6 years old and handled and drove fun for there age no cracking so I can say the quality is there I have a 23 year old perelli p6000 and it looks brand new even being used for a month
Sons 21 civic sport sedan came with Goodyear eagle a/s we got 18k miles out of them. Ntb has a sale right now 4 pirelle pzero a/s for the price of 3 ($800 out the door)… go for it ? Seems to be the cheapest option with out going super cheap with something like summit tires… he’s yoi g prob takes turns to hard lol… Michelin even from Costco are to expensive… any help or suggestions ? Hydroplane as a parent is my biggest concern with tires I’m sure he speeds on the highways… need all season because we do get a little snow sometimes on our area.
You want to hear something really depressing to think about? In a century, when almost all high tier racing will be electric, children will no longer make race car noises, because those sounds will simply not exist. It will only be a steady, incessant, humming, whirring sound....
Hey alex Can you do a video on painting tire lettering the do and not to do best tires to do it to and should i just buy a tire with letters that are already painted considering the tires i might want doesnt have painted letters
Great video! Pirellis were the OE option on my last 2 cars. Very good, but not blown away - especially by the run flat option 😕 However, I’ve run the PZero Sotto the last couple winters and I have become a fan. Grip, handling and a little style. So considering a set of A/S when I finally finish the Michelin summer tires I’m running now. The P7 plus 2s are lookin good .. Btw, I subscribed to you all waaay before I had ever heard of Donut - fwiw😉
