What about the Pirelli Scorpion Zero or even the OEM Michelin Diamaris?
The Big Easy's suggestion of -1.15 is actually very reasonable for your normal driving needs, especially if you have the staggered setup. I currently have -1.90 and needs to constantly keep the tire pressure at 34-36psi in order to maintain even tire wear. If I let it drop below 34psi for any length of time, the inner edge will begin to wear more. I'm considering taking the suggested -1.15 setup as well. |
No ski trips for us so a tire good in the snow is not really necessary. I too share the same concern with the Latitudes. They're so new and while it could be supposed that they are in the same class as the Diamaris. I haven't considered the Pirelli Scorpion Zeros because I had a set of the original Pirelli Scorpions Zeros. I got with my wheels from Tire Rack and I did not like them very much. I kind of got soured on Pirellis. Diamaris might be a good choice but I was looking to try something new, like the Advans or Latitudes.
I don't run a staggered setup but I wonder if I should. All four wheels are the same width so I could only go as narrow/wide as the wheels will allow. They are 19x9.5. Thoughts?
