I've had these on my past 3 cars (Audi A3 and two Tiguans) and love them, especially given the price. Not the quietest tire but extremely competent in wet, snow, and ice conditions, with good treadwear.
Pros: competent in wet, snow, ice
Cons: not the quietest

Audi A3
The liquimoly additive, Oil Additiv p# 8352, did help me for a bit but now it's back to the usual oil guzzling. For my choice of engine oil I use 5W-40 Toptec 4100 liquimoly .... I think it reduced consumption somewhat over OEM castrol.
Pros: reduced consumption somewhat

Well worth the money considering the increase in braking performance. It stops HARD now. A significant improvement over OEM. All things considered, I am SO pleased with the performance. I am glad I decided to do the 4-piston 1LE setup instead of the 6-piston 17Z or 18Z calipers. While it’s not really a direct ‘bolt on’ solution, the small amount of work that’s required to get everything to fit is worth the time invested.
Pros: stops HARD now, significant improvement over OEM
Cons: not a direct bolt on, work required to fit

I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.
Pros: car feels stable
Cons: not the best
Vehicle:
Audi A3
After I was done installing the new plugs and coils, I started the car and immediately noticed how much smoother the idle was. I then went for a drive and was really impressed by how much smoother and consistent the power delivery was overall, not to mention the graciously absent misfire under load.
Pros: smoother idle, consistent power delivery, no misfire

Have a set of Antera 343 18" wheels for sale. They have Pirelli P Zero Nero tires on them I'm selling these personally Tires quite new, under 5k miles on the wheels and tires.
Pros: tires quite new
Vehicle:

Mileage: 8000 km
The PSS10 actually do OK on the track. They soak up high speed bumps nicely. I have front and rear H&R bars, so even though there is some roll, it is less than say, SHS. It is around town where this combo feels harsh to me.
Pros: soak up high speed bumps
Cons: harsh around town
Vehicle:
Audi A3
