Same here, only 2K on mine but a huge improvement.

 

Wow... 25 series?

No, that was a typo which I just corrected. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the OEM Michelin/Pirelli P7 comparison. I'm at 30k miles (2014 Hybrid) on OEM, @7/32, so I've got another 30k or so to go.

Running 215/55R-17, and in my experience, different sizes of the same model tire can have different characteristics, so I'm taking your observations about "quiet" with a grain of salt.:wink: My OEM Michelins are whisper quiet, except for some rumbling on DFW region large-aggregate concrete, even at 30k miles.

I hope you'll continue to post your observations, especially road noise as the tires age. My experiences with Pirelli and Continental were increased road noise above 25-30k miles.

 

You make a good point in relating tire age to noise. I realized when I wrote my post that it was "unfair" of me to compare my old, worn Michelin tires with the new Pirellis but i didn't want to lengthen my already long post with that point. I tried to base the comparison on my memory of the OEM tires when new, but that is pretty difficult to do -- that is why I mentioned that I was now more aware of engine noise on acceleration, implying that tire noise may have previously masked it.

I guess the simplest and least controversial thing I can say about the new Pirelli tires is that I am very satisfied with them and happy I bought them.

Another point: maybe your drivetrain noise is louder at 40k miles than when new, and has nothing at all to do with the tires?? ...just yanking your chain a bit more.

Thanks again for posting.

 

No - what I meant that the drivetrain noise seemed louder after I put on the Pirellis than it was the day before I got them, when I still had the Michelin tires.

Thanks for the additional clarification.

 

I have a little over 20k miles on the P7's (18" variety) and still extremely pleased. I originally had the Bridgestones which were atrocious in every sense. The P7's even performed decent in some very light snow I got caught in this winter. Still as quiet as new as far as I can tell. Wind noise is more noticeable than road noise on mine.

 

.....I originally had the Bridgestones which were atrocious in every sense.......

Couldn't agree more, which is part of the reason why I'm thrilled with the P7's. Was torn between them and the Primacys, but > $100 difference plus the pretty consistent reviews sold me.

 

Does anyone have the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ (W- OR Y-SPEED RATED)? Ive been reading good reviews on these as well but these are just about the same price

 

I have them on my Acura TL. I have had no issues and mileage has been great!

Just replaced my OEM Michelins with the Pirelli P7s. Deciding factor was the price differential between those and the Michelin Premiers at the local shop where I got them ($110/tire vs. $140/tire) not including the Pirelli rebate I got as well. So far very pleased. 2014 Hybrid Limited 215/55R17

 

Gonna be a while until I replace my OEM Michelins. I have 2,516 miles on my 2016 AL.

 

I see yea i still got Tread left on my 2015 Limited 31k
