I had pirelli pzero nero MS and i can say only one word: dont buy them.
Pirelli's (mean zero nero) using the same tread patern for All seasons and summer tires so i think is wrong.
Anyway i had them on my car and there quite, good and soft ride, soft sidewall but no handling and cornering at all on the dry and wet road. On winter season u can use the but i think buy winter set will be better idea. My two cents.

Matt, thanks for the feedback. I already have Gislaved Nord Frost 5's for the winter and they are amazing. I am a huge proponant of having dedicated winter tires.

I have a set of R8 reps that I will be installing this summer if I don't sell them.

Back to the Michelin question. One of the Canadian Automotive journalists I think it was Kinsey, stated that the Pilot Sports were an amazing performance tire, because they do so many things so well: great handling & braking, stunning in the rain, quiet and durable. So, while some may not consider them an all out high-performance tire, my understanding is that they are one of the top tires for on-road use for, shall we say, spirited driving. I have never had a set before and I still have my winter tires on, so once I get these on the car I will post my impressions.

On this summer season Im just thinking to buy Bridgstone Potenza RE760 Sport.
