Default Gary - Welcome to AW Forum - What about P zero nero?

You mentioned the Rosso was lighter and quieter - more flex than S-03... How does the Nero, which they say was designed for a heavier car, compare to S-03 and Rosso?

PZero Nero will have better handling than the Rosso, but as a trade off we do not expect tread life/ ride comfort to be quite as good as the Rosso.

Default A couple more questions

I find the ride of my S02's acceptable. Handling is excellent. Noise when new was acceptable. At 50% tread depth noise became an issue. So based on that info any recommendations? (especially about the noise part) fitment is an '00 S4 stock wheels. Also do all max perf tires (So3, Pilot Sport, P Zero's) make more noise than their m+s mates (Pilot Sport A/S, Conti Contact Extremes) Thanks

Default Re: A couple more questions

The new generation of UHP A/S tires are all very quiet compared to the Max performance tires, but all give up a noticable amount of handling. If comfort is more important that ultimate handling, check out the Dunlop SP9000s as a good summer tire alternative to the others.
