Default Do you still have the Pirelli PZero Nero tires on?

Do you still have the Pirelli PZero Nero tires on? I'm thinking of getting the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, and getting of the stockPirelli.

Does anyone has any experience of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires? Does it have good winter performance? On the tirerack survey, it seems that it has slightly better winter performance than the Pirelli PZero.

They aren't crap. They are what they are which is an all season performance tire. The key word there is all. They want to be good at everything, but not great at anything.

I'm thinking about trying a 275/55/17 on the back made by yokohama. It's a sport truck tire and it's 28.9 inches tall. There aren't many wide chooses in 17's and i'd like something slightly taller than stock.

tire rack wants $190 each for them which is a lot for me to pay for something that's just going up in smoke at the track.[:-]

i was going for pilots, but i was told by store that they were depleting their stocks and that the model was discontinued, and if i need a replacement tire, there wouldnt be any available, so he insisted i go with x-ice or blizzak u choose, performance or better handling. i wont be speedin the snow so i took the handling. I couldnt even test it today because my state was cheap on putting salt and didnt put any until it had stopped snowing so everyone was getting stuck everywhere. according to the seller, tire rack is just depleting their stock and isnt necessary offerin anymore of those unless u buy 5 or 6 and save the other two

I'm talking about all season tires, not snow tires. Since when I get my car back, it will be Feburary. So, I'm thinking of getting all season tires with good winter performance.

On Michelin website, it seems they still have the Pilot Sport A/S.

My car spun, so I'm not sure how good they are at winter driving. The Pirelli PZero sold for $75 each on tirerack, but the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S sold for $200 each, so I assume the Michelin is better. I'm not sure.

i kno but just read around, my source came from a well known mechanic, so i trust him, and therefore went with the michellin, i have some nice dubs fors the summer, just want to get them rechromed, just have a second option for all season tire, or buy a spare one. I purchased the road hazard thing because it was worth it
