Pirelli PZero Nero
Anybody run these on their ride? I am looking to purchase these tires for next summer, but would like to hear praises or some sort of constructive criticism on these specific tires. Please post your opinons.

Rep Power: 0 How is the wet traction on these tires? I went to Discount Tire Direct and read a lot of bad reviews for the Pzero's, which I assume are very similar to Pzero Nero, correct? The bad reviews are making me reconsider. I am also looking into the NeoGens.

Rep Power: 0 Damn man, I didn't think you can really compare those two tires. The P Zero is like for Ferarris, Porsches, and Lambos. The Neo Gens are for like the normal street drivers of civics to integras.
What kind of rims are you sporting? If they ain't baller wheels, you might be spending more money on the tires than the wheels...haha. I guess that's not a big deal to some, but to me, it doesn't feel right. Go with something that doesn't have the huge price hype. You're driving a Civic man. Don't waste too much money on tires that you won't even use it's potential. Plus, you said you wanted summer tires. Maybe some BF KDWs, or how about the Nitto 555, which is Nitto's top model. You are looking at Pirelli's top of the line model.
I don't know man. I don't think these two tires are a good comparison. They are too different for me.

Rep Power: 0 Aww, c'mon man. You the wheel man on this site. You kind of have your own wheel shop I think...haha. But major props to your wheels though.
You experience with tires is much different from others though. You ride really huge wheels, so I don't know how hard you car run your car. I've heard only good stuff about the 555s and my dad is currently running 235/40/18s on his car. They stick very nice and ride very true unlike the Continental ContiSport Contacts he had. But I was hella suprised that those tires lasted over 40,000 miles. Just too bad their performance sucked. I don't think my dad cared too much on performance though, so he didn't mind.
NeoGens are a good tire, but PZeros are ridiculously out there man. How do you feel about the Falken FK-451s or the Azenis ST-115. I've had experienced with the Azenis, and they were a very nice tire.

Rep Power: 0 st115 are my fav 19" touring tire... they ride like a benz on some 19's./ highway driving is fun w/ em.. but they dont grip well... u can tell whey when u look at the tread..only like... 50% of he tread is actually on the ground.. which is good for wet traction but not good for dry/ crazy driving... w/ the neo gens. i can take corners 50+ and no probs... im the kinda guy who makes u turns at around 20-25.... so yeah.. the neogens grip... i wish the pzero's were a narrower tire.. id drive them if so..(but w/ my wheels i gotta go w/ a thin tire... a 215 pzero... is really about 235mm wide... neogen 215=215.... but a falken 215 is 190mm.. yeah... anywho ive never driven on 451's but i guess their prolly ok.
I've got Pzero Nero M&S (not summer) and I think they are great, with 1 BIG exception. Here in California we have grooved concrete freeways in some places, and these tires track back and forth like crazy on that stuff. I've never had any other tires that do that. It is bad enough I'm going to take my tires back to Americas Tire Co. and see if they will do anything. I've only had them for 3 days. If it wasn't for that, I'd highly recommend them.
