I want to put my wheels on this weekend, but I'm still debating between two tires to mount (in two different categories).

Initially, I wanted to go with the Goodyear F1 GSD3s (high-performance summers) because of their good ratings and the tread pattern. However, the fact that it's going to be 30-40F this weekend (and probably for the next week at least) has me rethinking the idea of mounting them this weekend. In turn, this limitation of summer tires has made me start to consider mounting high-performance all-seasons, specifically the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S. Mounting these will allow me to keep my wheels on for an extra month before the CT winters kick in.

I should note that I drive fairly aggressively about 80-90% of the time, which is why I initially wanted to go with the GSD3s. However, I also appreciate practicality, given the fickle climate I live in, and the P-Zeros offer that in spades.

Which tire would you guys choose?

Had the P-Zeros on my last A4.. great tires, sticky and quiet in the summer and decent traction for the winter as well (I may be a little biased due to the Quattro)

Use the Goodyear for summer and get another set of wheels for winter tires.

What wheels are you getting?

Are you sure you can get the GS-D3's? I tried getting them in 235/40/18 a few weeks ago and both discounttire and tirerack had none, they were backordered and neither knew when they were going to be getting them back in.


However, go with a good summer tire, not an all season... Try the Bridgestone RE050A or the Yokohama Advan Neova AD07

Hehe, not "getting" but staring me in the face !!!

Toyo T1R or Yokohama A048...
Oh, that wasn't in the choice list...

I didn't like the p-zero nero I had on my wheels as much as I like my wife's Avon M550's

That's good to hear, because given that I, too, live in CT, I plan on putting some 550's on my Kreuzer X's when they arrive in 3 months or so.

Jason, let me know when you're next working at 600, I have to see those wheels!

I have M+S now and I'll say the tires are little bit noisy but except that those are all good.

Pilots PS2's, rule the day. but with their 220 treadware they only last about 18k miles.
