Opinions needed - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or the P Zero Nero M+S - which would you choose and why?
Besides the price, anyone have experience with the tires and can give me good feedback on why they chose that particular tire.
i live in NJ, we get "some" snow... hopefully not as bad as what we got last year will happen again. but i am more concerned with dry and wet conditions, however, i would like some control in the snow
thanks so much!

I have the pilot A/S and I think that they are great. I was using the sp 5000 for winter and putting summer tires also. But I decide to go with one tire. They are great in the rain, and no snow yet

I'm in the same boat as you and I also live in Jersey. I've decided to go with the P zero Nero M+S.
Tire rack spoke highly of them and the reviews were pretty good. Least importantly, I like the tread design! Tirerack has a good test/comparison using the wheel on a 3 series bimmer. The P Zero did well in wet and dry conditions, and should do well is snow. They also stated it was very quiet.

Actually I did...
I was actually going to go with those. I decided to go with the Pirellis for 2 reasons based on the info and reviews I read on Tirerack:
1) They make less noise than the Contis
2) Tirerack has them ranked as the best high performance all season.
The conti's will probably outshine the Pirellis as far as snow goes, but the Pirelli had the Conti beat in all other categories IIRC.

Have you thought about dedicated snow tires for the winter?
I was all set to get the ContiExtreme Contacts for my OEM 16" wheels, but there's a nationwide backorder on them in my size (215/55R16) and won't be available until the end of November. By then, the snow should already be flying and/or temperatures dropping too low for the summer tires to react safely. I'm over in NE Ohio.
Since the time of getting a lot of snow is only for a few weeks and road conditions are maintained fairly well, I've opted to get the Blizzak LM-22 tires. They're designed for mostly dry and wet road conditions with improved traction over snow and ice.
The Blizzaks were recommended to me by a local S4 owner who uses them himself. Looking forward to this winter to give them a test! =)
