Default Which All-Season Tires Have You Used on your S?

Sorry for posting here, but I need new tires ASAP and I want to make a final decision today.

If you have run all-seasons on your S which tires have you used? Please comment on your opinion of the tires. I will only be using them in light snow (just enough to get home safely if it starts snowing while I'm out).

Right now I have it down to either the Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S or the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. The pilots are about $200 more than the Pirelli's (but they look cooler )

thanks

I've been pleased with the Pirelli P Zero Nero AS tires. They're obviously not as good as an S02, etc. but they handle as good in the dry as the various "ultra" high-performance tires I've used to keep costs down in the past. The fact that they handle water fine and even snow (it's certainly no snow tire) is icing on the cake. Highly recommended by me, anyways...

Thanks for the comments so far. They may see one or two AutoX events and maybe one or two track days. But nothing competitivly it will all just be for fun. I just wnat something they I can have some fun with and make it home alive in the snow. I know they wont give me the same performance as a summer only tire, but I just cant justify another ~$1000 to have wheels and tires to use no more than 10 days in a year.

I have run the pilots on the rear of my S and was happy with their performance in light snow.

I have a pair for sale if you are interested, and they have less than 2,000 miles on them.

I just want to make a good choice. Tires are the single most important part of the car (to me)

I just looked on Tirerack's website and they don't offer the Perelli PZero Nero M+S in the correct size for the rear (245/45/16). Where are you getting yours?

Check tirerack.com so many positive reviews for the Pirelli Nero M+S
