Default Pirelli P zero nero m+s

Hi, I've been using these for over 2000km or so. They seem to be the same as the stock for me. I'm not an aggressive driver...normally. so for commuting they are great. it's pretty rainy in vancouver and I have not hydroplaned even once. I am taking corners at exactly the same speed as before and notice no diff. The only thing is that in underground parking lots the tires seem to squeal more on turns. that's pretty minor though. otherwise a great buy especially for the price. I got 205/225 despite what everyone says about getting 245 and they are fine. I will post an update on treadlife when i get more K's on them

btw, thanks to Jim for quick and efficient service.

Allan

Thank you Allan. If you are not an aggressive driver the Nero M/S would work fine and last longer as well. Also as the temps are colder even on a dry road they will handle better than the OE tires.

i'd say im an aggressive driver sometimes...and i have these same wheels...and their pretty good.....wayy better then the s0-2's in my opinion....i like rarely hydroplane......in dry they squel easier then the stock tires...but they are controllable...and in rain they are wayyy better then stock.

Hi all, I have these tires also, and I've put about 20K miles on them so far, and I don't expect to have to change the rears till about 25-30K. I'm very happy with them, I take the occasional corner hard but certainly not all the time, thats with mostly highway miles. Another thumbs up for this all-season tire, although I probably would've preferred the 245 size in the rear.

I've been through two sets of rear tires on the P-Zero Neros, but not the M&S configuration, and have been lucky to get 8000 miles out of them. I certainly don't consider myself an "aggressive" driver, but it appears that if you folks are getting 20,000, I must be slippin' and slidin' more than I thought! No wonder my girlfriend on our spirited drives through New Hampshire and Vermont!

Anyway, tires are spectacular: quiet ride and communicate well. Got to get another set of rears, 18x10, 265x35. Anybody got a different recommendation?

Thanks!
