The Pirelli P Zero neros seem to be consistently good performers, I've heard good things about them

Pirelli Pzeros are very good, but pricey... another that I personally like are the Cooper Zeons and not as pricey... great dry traction and decent wet and snow.

Jeremy, I just put a set of these on my son's car, and I am contemplating on putting a set on my car. But only if I upgrade the wheels I have now. I have used only Yokohama's on my son's car and my wifes old car and I couldn't be happier with their performance in wet conditions, and when we had snow here in OK, they handled it very well. And you know the Icy conditions this great state offers, well you could be very happy to know that the predecessors to these tires held up brilliantly through 3 seasons before I replaced them with these new tires. Check them out

yoko's rule!

i have the pzero nero's on my car for some snow traction, but i recently bout blck steelies with snow tires. i used to have BF GOOD RICH GFORCE kdw's by far the best wet and dry traction, the pzero's suck at dry traction, especially if you have a higher HP car.

Well guys I ordered my tires. It took a while to decide, but I ended up going with the Bridgestone Potenzas. IMO they offered the best mix of wet and dry traction for what I was looking for. Thanks again for all the help. Thanks to you I got exactly what I wanted, and saved some money over my original options.

solacedagony, the post is yours. If you have any questions let them fly.

we could try sticking my tires on your car.
what do ya think?
got room for 12.2" of tire section width in each well?

Hmmm, probably not with the accord, but they would have fit under the back of my S10.

UPDATE.................... I love these tires.

I just drove all the way up my hill, and never realized it was icy. Till I got out, and fell on my ass.

This is the same hill that I couldn't get up last year (nor could my upstairs neighbor) and I had to put the right side tires in the grass to get down. Hell I couldn't make a left hand turn into my drive way last year without sliding sideways. I had to make a right (keeping my tires in the grass) and then cut across from the street on the other side.

So Jonathan, and all you guys that helped. I owe you BIG.

Now you just need to get one more Potenza to cut up and glue to your shoes so you don't fall on your a$$ any more
