Pirelli P Zero Nero, Yeah Baby!

After 800 miles on my new tires, I have to give them the big THUMBS UP! Replacing my 17" run-flats, these tires are 215's (up from 205's) and grip like velcro. On my two favourite exit/entrance ramps I have increased my max speeds by almost 4 mph with NO tire squeal at all. Just grip grip GRIP!

OK, so they're not run flat, but the ride is smoother. I now carry an air compressor and a bottle of green goo in case of a flat. Anything more than a slow puncture and it's the tow truck :( Still, anythings better than $260 a tire. I saved $245 on the tires so I'm ahead either way.

M+s

I got a set of the P0 Nero M+S on the Integra GS-R, which is what's in the picture. Drove about 25 miles on them in 2 days and then put 2300 on them in 3 days. Since then put on another grand (3 months).

They're very predictable in all conditions (have tried snow yet). The tread is deep and can feel a small amount of squirm over uneven surfaces while turning. But they feel better the more they're pushed. They really inspire confidence.

Noise is not an issue. The half-worn ES100s on the MC howl on certain sections of I-5 to the point that I just turn off the radio. On the Nero's, there isn't a db to be had.

There are cheaper all-seasons to be had but none with the performance and comfort of this one. Besides the price was similar to some middle-level summer tires which probably don't offer close to the same performance and comfort. They're a definite buy.
