Pirelli PZero Nero M+S
#402
Mine are now officially shot at about 30k. They were really good the first winter, ok the second, and terrible the third. I wouldn't want to drive on them this winter and that's from someone that's driven a mustang with the wires showing through the rubber on tires in the winter.
I would buy them again for a sports car that I had to drive during the winter but the car they were on is getting old and I just want to put the longest lasting all weather tire on it at this point.

I'm one of the few that only give the P Zero's a B to B+ rating. I like the way they handle but every morning, regardless of temp, they thump for about the first 2-3 miles. I tried to get this taken care of when I bought them, but mysteriously, they couldn't hear/feel it at Belle Tire when I left the car there overnight. Got busy and have lived with it. I now have 20,000 miles on them and hope they'll last until its time for my RX to hibernate in Nov/Dec. I'm currently considering Goodyear, Michelin or Toyo for the next stint. My only guess as to why I only made it to 20K is the couple "fun days" I've attended that probably took off the extra 10K most of you have gotten!

Comparison to Stock Dunlop Sport 8090?
I've read all 17 pages here, one person asked about a comparison to stock Dunlops but no response. Anybody know? Potenzas with the car sound worse than Dunlops from reading about everyone else, the Dunlop 8090 was reasonable when driven cautiously the first winter in light snow, even went slowly up a hill in Conshohocken, PA just outside of Philly, those in the area would know the terribleness of Conshohocken and Manuyunk with snow. Last winter not so great, tread too low and got stuck once or twice. Anyway anybody know anyone with thoughts on stock Dunlop Sport 8090 vs these Pirelli's?

I'll snap his neck.
I had the dunlops and switched to the pirelli's. The 245/40/18 size. I feel like it might have a little less lateral dry grip than the dunlops, but it does seem to track a bit better in a straight line (not that that was a problem with the dunlops) and ride a little better. Way better in the wet and snow.

The Tire Rack just did a comparison test which included this tire.

Hint: It finished on top! (just slightly)

I love the wet traction and they're not bad in the dry. They are vastly better in the cold mornings of Autumn than the OE Bridgestones.
I find them quieter than the OE Bridgestones too, which keeps my wife happy.

I got a very nice price quote... only $20 more than the same shop charges for the regular version.
