If you can tell me where you got the 315 Pzero's for $272.25/Set I will be purchasing those.. Every place I looked EACH Tire was over $300. HERE is an example of what Tire Rack shows for Pzero's.

I've had them on for the last 3000 miles.
They are quiet, soft, and look great!
My car handles great with them and the price is excellent. I got all four delivered to my door overnight for less than $500.
My only irritation with them is every once in a while in the morning they shake the steering wheel a little for the first few miles. It doesn't do it anymore after that.
A buddy of mine told me that it was caused by the softness of the rubber leaving a flat spot over night.

Looks like a great option! Once my Pzeros go, I'm going to look for a cheap alternative. I don't drive my car that hard anyways and it's a commuter so it would be nice not to have to change tires every 15k miles.

For anyone who does occasional drag racing...it's hard to beat the PZeros since many have posted as low as 1.80 60' times. I wouldn't mind these if you also had a set of drag radials on an extra set of wheels. Good price though and maybe someone will post 60' times using them.

Definitely an all season type tread.

I wouldn't run them in summer conditions because I like to hook up off the line.
But they could do for a winter tire (cold, rainy, and some light snow).

Let's see what kind of marks they leave on the pavement.

First, not downing the tires, my advise is run what works and if these work then more power to you.

Second, a chick I work with just had an Atturo tire seperate its tread on a BMW z4 today. It left her stranded on the 101 here in phoenix (not fun). Just a note of caution towards owners to be watchful.

What happened to the tire to leave her stranded? Want to be looking for any sign or warning.

Like I mentioned, the tread separated from the tire. Basically a 2 inch strip around the entire circumference of the tire came off at highway speed. at first she thought she had a blow out and pulled over. After inspection she didn't feel comfortable driving on the remainder and her spare was flat. Tires (I looked at all the others, and the failed tire) show no other visible signs of wear or damage.

She called me because I'm pretty much the car guy in the shop and everyone calls me when they have car problems.

You saved me a ton of money by posting this up. When i buy my rims, will definately be wrapping them with these for sure. I dont drag race or anything like that, so whats the point in having an expensive ass tire? thanks alot man.
