Default Pirelli Zero Nero A/S

How good are these tires? I don't drive my vette near the limits, only sometimes pretty fast.

I want good handling and wear and comfort.

What do you think about these tires for the $$$?

I don't like the runflats. How much of an improvement are these over runcraps?

Thanks.

I have these, and they are AWESOME. I had the stocks, and some Toyo Proxes and these blow them away by a long shot. A lot more expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Comfort and handling are SUPERB (in socal weather). Wear is ok so far, but i don't put a lot of miles on my car so I can't really tell.

I have a pair of these tires up front, and am getting the matching ones for the rear on Monday.

I have put over 23k on them so far and they still have well over 50% of their tread left! They handled light snow last winter with no problems, but yet they also handle the corners better than any all season tire I've ever owned on any of my cars. These tires are probably the best all season ultra high performance tires you'll find, the Tire Rack customer survey rates them extremely well in all categories too.

Default Great....

Where can I find a dealer online that will mount and balance these on a new set of vette wheels? I was thinking a new set of Zo6 wheels or new polished rims.

I just want to bolt new ones on and go.

I got my Pirelli Zero Nero A/s from Discount tire online. They had free shipping at the time and a good price. took them to a local Discount tire store and they mounted them for $10 a tire on same wheels so no change of sensors. Did a good job. Have always had good luck and prices with Discount......check them out.....would probably be www.discounttire.com not sure of that....better price online than they might quote you at the store and you can save sales tax in most states..good luck PS The A/S Pirelli's were rated high in traction, temp, and wear. Tire Rack Tests, not customer surveys, seem to rate them right up there with similar Mich's and Bridgestones in most tests, wet - Dry- noise-etc...And Pirelli's have won a lot of Races too so i think they know how to make a good Tire
