I generally hear poor things about Pirelli. My personal understanding (I am not claiming this as fact - and could be wrong) is that Pirelli heavily discount to OEM to get selected then are really expensive for the public?

They are fine. I had the oem pirelli for the same price as the likes of the other upper-mids like Goodyear etc.
Michies were dearer but honestly the Pirelli’s have been fine over the last two years.
The amount of torque steer on this thing I have no doubt that the tyre choice has limited relevance.
I suspect it’s to do with the imbalance between the ice/supercharger/turbo putting 330bhp through the front whilst the electric is trying to put 80 through the rear (numbers all approx) and the car struggles to do that without the frankly huge torque steer.
Embrace it and enjoy it 👍
