Anyone here has used Pirelli P Zero Nero.I'm contemplating between Pirelli and the Conti Extreme Contact...

They will be used in varying conditions(Toronto) snow,slush etc..Pls anyone's info will help me choose the right tire and wud be appreciated.

 

If you plan on running a Pirelli P Zero Nero tire in the snow you better have your will in order and pin a note on your shirt-->

"Take me to _____ Hospital if you find me almost dead"

The P Zero Nero is a High Performance tire ONLY...

So the answer is easy... go with the Conti Ext. Contact

 

How bout pirelli scorpions?

 

Go with the Contis for the snow. And they are a steal at under $100 a piece.

 

Thank u guys for ur input..I was also thinking of Toyos Proxes TPT.What do y think of these??

 

Pirelli's web site shows a P-Zero Nero M+S tire in the stock size for the CL-S. The problem is, it is not yet imported to the U.S.

I've been reading about the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. Everyone raves about them. You'd have to put 225 or 235 because they don't come in a 215. The 235/45's would minimize speedo issues. I just hate how loud the stock tires are driving down the highway ... that's really all you hear!

 

The Pirelli PZero Nero M&S is a borderline all-season tire. From what I understand, the only difference between the M&S and the summer version is tread compound. Don't expect this tire to handle light snow or slush very well.

 

Pirelli is out....
maybe Toyo Proxes TPT,Conti Extreme Contact,Yokohama Avid V4S..Any suggestions on them..

 

I was looking at the same thing ... 55000km (34000 miles) and I'm about 2/32" from wear bars on OEM Michelins. Based upon what other ppl on various boards have said and TireRack responses:

1) Contis ... load issue. You may get some 'flat spots' after parking your car overnight. Drive it for a few km's and that should make the tires round again. One Toronto guy with a TL told me he'd *never* want to get Contis on his car again. Wobble / flat spot problems despite getting them rebalanced, etc TWICE.

2) Yoko's ... I was looking at either H4S or V4S ... they are too new and I don't know anyone with those tires (yet). Load is factory spec (93XL) and great tread rating (500). Definitely in my top 3 list.

3) Ever consider the Bridgestone Potenza G009? Brand new ... looks good (aggressive tread) but I hear that Potenzas in general don't grip well in the snow. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

4) Last but not least ... Sumitomo HTR+. Probably will get these tires -- price & performance ratio ... pretty good. Don't like them? Get new tires ... only US$79 each on TireRack (drive down to Buffalo ... tires too much $$$ in Canada ...)
