DrD123 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well - it's tire time, and I am going with all seasons (yes, I absolutely realize that dedicated summers/winter tires are better at each season, but I am not going to have two sets of wheels) - been looking at 4 tires based on the test results/reviews on TireRack - namely the Continental ExtremeContact DWS, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric A/S, the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus, and the Yokohama Advan Sport A/S - curious if anyone has one of these and could offer their thoughts. Particularly interested in the latter 2 as the Pirelli posted great test results, and the Yokohama is inexpensive compared to the other three (about $125/tire vs. $160-180/tire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Fan Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I ran the Pirelli P Zero Nero A/S on my '06 LGT for a while...great dry and wet tire....terrible in wet snow,slush or icy roads....I have always seen Michelin Pilot Sport A/S as the best...have them on my 3.6R ....BUT still go to dedicated snows at this time of year.....Nokian WR G3 this time. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yeah - the pilot sports definitely seem to be top dog, performance-wise, but Michelins tend to start to crack/dry rot earlier than other tires. If I were someplace that gets more than occasional light snow, I'd consider snow tires for winter, but we maybe get one or two storms a year that amount to 4 or 5 inches, with the rest being an inch or less - roads never get bad. I had the Pzero nero M+S on my 02 WRX for a while and really liked them - the P zero all season plus is their new UHP all season, and test data from the tire rack shows it to be a really, really good tire (certainly outperformed the Continental, but wasn't run in a comparison with the pilot sport a/s 3.)

DrD123 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Well - decided to go with the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus tires - they did really well in tests on tirerack.com, and Discount tire gave me them for $18 cheaper per tire than TireRack - I was pretty happy with that! - they had to order them from Pirelli so it took a few days, but got them installed this morning. They actually have a 50k treadwear warranty and are rated at treadwear 500, traction AA, and temperature A, so we'll have to see how they do!
