Looking for new tires for stock 20's
#11
It finally snowed in Chicago and the Firestone Destination ST handled great. It was the first time since the A4 I felt sure footed in snow. I thought it was the Q7 but it seems it was the Dueler 400 tires. What a terrible tire. With the ST tires on the Q7 it feels like I am driving a vehicle.
Base on all the reviews I found on TireRack and this forum....
Firestone Destination ST - $168 Each
Pirelli Scorpion Zero - $196 Each
Yokohama Parada Spec-x - $155 Each
Highest rating on TireRack are the Firestone's then Yokohama, then Pirelli.
Pirelli has the highest rating of UTQG at 520, Yoko at 420 then Firestone at 400.... Does it matter?
Does Firestone comes on any of the OEM vehicles? Looks like either going to be the Pirelli or Firestone for me.

okay... I decided on the Firestone Destination for my 20's
Boy, they are hard to find.... none of my local tire shops stock them.
i might have to order them off Tirerack and pay local shop to install them.

Got new shoes today...
25k on the Q and 20" oem pirellis...probably could've gotten 5k more, but after last tire rotation, ride was a little rough.
Went with the Toyo Proxes STII since my past experience with Proxes ST was so positive on another vehicle.
Will try to update after a few thousand miles and some wet driving.

Avoid curbs at all costs. The Parada's in 275s don't like to protect the 5-spoke S-line rims.

Just drive smart and stay away from curbs, no matter which tire you have on your car.
