Difference between summer and all season tires?
#11
I do not even have a clue what seasons the P-Zero Neros are rated/designed for, but during the cold, even into single digit temps degree F, they got good traction.
But considering that I have not driven on other tires, I admit, I cannot say if they suck or if they are actually any good.

Despite all of the bad views on the pirellis I'm actually pretty happy with these particularly just for stock tires.

I've been happy with my Pzeros as well. This is the third set on the car and I haven't had any traction problems with them over the winter. The car has 167,500 on it right now and this set of tires still have many miles left on them

My Nittos broke loose once the temperature dropped and that was with mild driving. I wouldn't use summer tires if you aren't planning on getting a dedicated winter set. I'm actually amazed by the traction I grab with my Michelin X-Ice 2 tires but they sure were expensive. In the warm weather, I like my Nittos. They are nice and sticky.
I'm not a fan of Pirelli's. The stock tires that came with my '06 constantly slipped. They most likely improved their tires, many guys on here seem to like em but I won't use Pirelli again.

The factory Pirellis on my 2010 (19" wheels) are fantastic in wet/cold weather and I believe they're "all season" tires. The factory "summer tire" Pirellis on my 2008 (17" wheels) were frightening on wet pavement.

Agree 100% dude. I mentioned earlier that I put my new wheels on, but ended up taking them off to put the stock 19's back on. They are actually really good in the cold. I take a turn everyday on the highway at 80 with the stock pirellis, but was only able to take it at 55 60 with the nitto nt-555's. Just shows the difference when the temps get below 40.

Summer tires are generally do lose a considerable amount of grip in the winter. I really like my Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. I've driven on those tires in snow and gone places southerners in 4x4s couldn't seem to navigate. Also really smooth, really quiet, and the best tire I've ever driven on in the rain. They are quite good in summer performance driving as well, better than a lot of summer only tires.

Although an all-season will typically have reasonable dry pavement grip in cold weather, it's snow capabilities are useless compared to a dedicated winter tire. In other words, there really isn't a compromise that provides decent winter weather traction in an all-season. If you MUST drive the Stang in snow (and I lived in Blackwood and Sewell for about 7 years and yes, you will get snow) then I strongle suggest a 2nd set of tires; dedicated winter tires mounted on a set of cheap take-offs.
