UHP A/S Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero vs. Continental ExtremeContact DWS

rmorin49 · 02-17-2010, 09:04 PM

Anyone have first hand experience with either of these tires? I am leaning toward the Pirellis based on TireRack test results although the Contis have the highest survey results. The Contis are much better in the snow but I don't plan to drive in the snow. The Pirellis are also cheaper. Feedback would be appreciated. My OEM RFTs are coming off immediately after delivery and are for sale. Posted on the for sale forum.

I would also consider the michelin pilot sport plus a/s tires. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those three.

I want to buy conti DWS for my 230s but the tread pattern is weird ( ugly ) .

If they get the job done, I wouldn't care less.

The contis are my next tires i believe....They have really good write ups.

I've had the Nero m&s before. The tire is fantastic.

I ordered the Pirellis today from Discount Tire Direct. They had 2 rebates totalling $90 off so they beat TireRack by about $75.

I agree that the Conti tread pattern is a bit strange. They are probably the best all season tire for those that have to drive in snow but dry and wet weather performance and a nice ride are most important to me. I really don't plan to drive in snow if I can avoid it.
