Has anyone here driven both Pirelli Pzero Nero's AND the S03's?

Gorobei · 04-08-2003, 12:36 PM

It's getting to be time to replace my S03's here, and I'm considering my options. Prior to the S03's, I had Pirelli Pzero Rosso's, which I really liked, but the S03's have been even better in nearly every category. I noticed that the Pzero Nero's were almost $40 cheaper per tire, tho, so I'm wondering how the S03 and the Nero compare. Mostly wondering if I should save the $120 by going with the Nero's, or spend the money on the Bridgestones. TIA...

very impressive side by side both in wet & dry. bridgestones still have the best overall nod though.

We have the testing results from that drive online.. See below!

I'll let you (Eddie) know in the coming weeks when I'm ready to order. Shouldn't have more than a month left on the S03's, I don't think. Thanks for the info.

I know that the S03's tend to run a little wide in any given size. How do the Nero's compare? I have BBS CH's in 18x8.5, and I'm currently using the S03's in a 235/40/18 size. Should I go back to the 225 width (which I had with my Rosso's) or stick with the 235's? (all of this assuming I go with the Nero's.) My current S03's look a little chunky on the car.
