PZero traction
Is anyone else less than impressed with the traction provided by PZero's?
When replacement time comes, I will not be going back with them. |

It depends on the power level, driving style, road conditions, weather, etc. I have no complaints. I've managed some 1.6's on the Pirelli's.

Look at TireRacks spec page for the different Pirelli P zero tires and you will see that the ones selected for our cars are the worst of the batch. The 275-40-20 tire weighs 35lbs whereas the others weigh 30lbs or just a bit more. Also the SS Pirellis cost less they are actually the crap of the crop from Pirelli. The 295-35-20 I bought from another member on here actually provided more grip in dry than the Nitto NT05 and even feels gripper than the BF Goodrich Gforce Rival I have on, notice I said feels. I had way more cornering confidence with that Pirelli than any tire I ever had on the rear of my car. On wet forget it all Pirellis suck in wet.

Mine get really sticky once they're warm. I don't really have any complaints when it comes to them.

P-Zeros are actually pretty good tires in warm weather conditions. They suck in cold weather like most summer tires.
For a street tire, If you have the money get some Michelin Sports. They are great tires. If you're into drag racing, go with some drag radials (NT555R). |

I've read about these Michelin Pilot Super Sports, and everyone raves about them. However, I noticed they don't come in the exact size as the SS rims. Is it ok to put a slightly different size tire on the stock SS rims?

PZeros are a solid rated Max Performance tire. They are actually solid in terms of dry and wet performance. Most cars do not come with a tire so good from the factory.
