Default Bridgestone 750 vs. Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S

I'm currently considering Bridgstone RE750's or Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S. Any comments or recco's between these two?

I'm not an agressive driver so throwing the LS into some twisties is not going to be a frequent occurence. The order of importance: comfort, while responsive and grip being near equal, noise then tread life. Obviously I don't want to be buying tires every 10K miles so getting 30K miles would be ideal.

The $150-$180 per tire is my proposed range.

Well the RE750 will have a higher level of performance because they are not A/S tires. The Pirelli are great for an all season tire, so if you need snow and ice traction I would go with the Pirelli. If you don't need snow or ice but want the most comfort the Pirelli would again be the best choice. If not I would take the Bridgestone for the superior performance.

Which Toyo?

Brandon.

I read so much about the trammiling on So. Cal roads with the Pirellis that it makes me wonder. Of all the tires on my cars, I can't say I've had a problem like that. Sometimes I know the car is following a groove but not to the point where it becomes an issue. Any insight with the P-Zero Nero M+S's in that regard?

Thanks guys!

Default I'm a tire addict...

I've tried many tires and found that the P Zero Nero was and is the best All Season tire. I am currently using Pilot Sport A/S now only because of my 19 inch set up.

P Zero Nero M+S (9.0) Great ride, Firm sidewall, suprised to do well in snow even with the boring tread pattern. Quiet tire. Price Excellent

Bridgstone RE750 (7.5) Summer/Spring Good cornering, Strong sidewall, Loud humm/Drone though, below 40 degrees they become slippery like Tonka Truck tires, not very good in inclement weather.

good luck

I've had my PZero Nero's for awhile now and I love them. Great traction and performance and they last awhile.
Pilot Sport A/S are only quiet for the 1st 5000 miles. For a $250/ tire this is embarassing. The thread pattern and design look nice though.

I have PZero Nero's on my car and by far are the quietest tire I have tested... the handeling on the tires are okay (B+) but tire wear and noise were more of a factor to me. Excellent tire for everyday driving.

These are on a nation wide back-order. Though I did find a set in stock from a local tire shop, they are priced at $279 each!

One of the local guys also suggested a Fuzion ZRi that his customers have given positive feedback on. Not in the same class as the Nero but a pretty darn good tire for $129 he commented. I'm going to wait but hopefully it isn't going to be too long for the Pirellis.
