Glad to hear it!!!! My wife forced me to stop being cheap. She insisted that I get the set of P Zero Nero M+S early last month as a precaution since the F1s are supposed to turn to stone in cold temperatures. I'm glad I listed to her. We recently had a bit of a cold snap that would have taxed the F1s. Now that I know you've had good performance in the snow, I'm even happier and I know now that I should be good for the winter (Maryland - Mid-Atlantic Winter that is).
I too was pleasantly surprised with their performance. We've received 3"-4" in the last couple day here in Utah, and I've gone out searching for bad roads and have no problems at all with anything that I've come up against. Whether the ESP is on or off you just point it and go. I find them completely acceptable for an all-season tire, and will gladly buy them again when I need new tires.
Finally I can provide some feedback for anyone wondering how these tires perform in the winter snow and ice. Honestly, after reading a number of posts where people were critical of tires of this type I expected handling just a bit better than an ice-skate... (IMHO) these tires did a whole lot better than I expected. I had a number of unplowed side streets with 4-6" of snow depth to navigate in the early morning as well as a combination of slush and iced over roads and I had no problems to speak of.
ive got g force sport and im pretty happy with then, other wise yoky es100 but the wear is not the best but has alot of grip and feedback i think.
i've put about 2000 miles on a set, and I like em a lot better than the Michelin Pilots that came stock... IMO, they are slightly nosier on the road, but not loud by any stretch. The noise may also be a side effect of siping the tires. Really good grip in the dry and the wet. They were OK in the one snow storm that left anything on the ground this year. Definately not a 'real' snow tire though.
I pull consistant low 2.2 on Pirelli p7000's with an open diff.... Best of 2.202, just a beotch hair from 2.1
Guys - good news I took it all apart, inspected it and honestly, it all looks mint when compaired to the passanger side. I put on my winter wheels in all 4 corners: 14" steelies w/ 205/60/14 BF Goodrich Winter Slaloms (Yeah...I know, it's september...bear with me) Anywho, I took it to the local gas station, got all the tire pressures even (32 PSI) and took it for about a 5 mile drive, There isn't a single noise comming from anywhere, the car rides and feels like buttah
They're similar to the Pilot Sport Cups in terms of wear but I've been told that their grip levels are a bit below that of the PSCs.
I got me a set of Pirelli PZero Nero M&S tires in March, reading all the good things about them. Right after I got them put on, they seemed out of balance. I took them back and had them rebalanced, and they still acted up. Annoyed, I just let it slide. But today I took it back to the shop and told them to rebalance them. They took a look and said that they had factory defects (\"excessive wheel hop\") and couldn't be balanced. They suggested I contact TireRack. I took it to another shop and had them balance the wheels, thinking that the other shop just might have been having problems with their machine. They balanced them, but the jitter is still there in the steering wheel, exactly at 65 mph and above. Someone mentioned that the tires have a deeper tread, and I should just wear them down a bit and see if it helps. They've only got 2,500 miles on them, but it's really annoying at highway speeds constantly feeling that jitter.
Be careful with anything that Pirelli makes with an M&S rating. I've owned both a set of Pirelli P7000 and P7000 SuperSports, which are M&S tires. The SuperSports flatspotted, wore unevenly and did not offer the grip/responsivness as the regular P7000.
