Default Pirelli P Zero Neros - Opinions?

I've been considering replacing my Run Craps with the New Pirelli P Zero Neros. Has anyone tried these, and if so, how do you like them?

I replaced my front tires with the P Zero Nero M&S and they are great! The day I got them I got caught in the heaviest rain ever in my life, but they plowed through it beautifully! Their dry handling is amazing too, you'd never believe they were all season tires. They also handle light snow very well too!

When my runflats on the back wear out, I'll be replacing them with these Pirellis also.

Thanks Patman, for the info! How are the tires wearing? Do you think they will give you 30,000 or more miles? I've heard the sidewalls tend to be noticibly more flexible in turns, do you feel any difference?

I didn't feel any loss in handling at all, and the tires which were on there before were 275-40-17 Eagle F1s (non run flats, the same ones which come on the Camaro SS) and I replaced them with the stock size of 245-45-17. That alone surprised me since I figured the change in size alone would mean I'd lose cornering. I will say this though, I don't push the car super hard like some road racers and autocrossers would, so those guys would probably notice a bigger difference. But for agressive street driving, these tires work very well.

I've put over 8000 miles on these tires so far and the tread still looks to be in almost like new condition. I see no problem with getting 30k or more out of them.
