I love these pirellis

Finally for the long time in a while, I have the right set of tires for each car. The PS2's are great on the Cayman.

Even better are the P Zero Nero M&S on the s4avant (the seller had just put on a brand new set

). I don't know about snow but dry/wet/steering/comfort are all there. I honestly did not know all-seasons could be this good (for everyday purposes). I have heard that they might be discontinued and I am so so sad. I've just been missing out on most of my cars on this great tire.

I will take the Khumo's I have on currently (at $50 a tire!) over the Pirellis any day. I have never been that impressed with the Pirelli all seasons when I have had them or had the opportunity to drive with them. It might depend on the car and/or driving habits though.

I've found tires to be very car dependent. I've found the pirellis to be great on the audi, and I expect to put them on the impreza. Also, you live in California, so the whole game changes....

well, yeah, but I didn't always live in Cali. I haven't had Pirellis since I came out here. It could very well be car dependent though. The Khumos I have now are all season (picked entirely based on price - it's a commuter car after all).

I've had my set of Pirelli PZero Neros M&S for about 2yrs/25,000 miles now.

I'd have to agree with you that they are pretty decent. And for the price, you really can't beat them.

They handle the white stuff quite well for an all-season, but when gradual uphills are encountered, they're not all that great.

And because of their tread pattern, they tramline pretty badly.

Haven't noticed any tramlining on the Audi, and I keep'em high, 40psi. Here's to steering without any kickback (or feedback for that matter)...

Hmm. Perhaps that is my problem.

I've got mine set at 37 psi at all four corners.
