Default 235/55-17 Pirelli PZero Nero M&S on stock double spoke rims...how are they doing for you?

I've seen a post that they fit fine. Who's got them? How are they wearing? Despite my hatred of Pirellis, they seem like a very good tire for the price, especially for those of us with 17" wheels that want a wider footprint than 225's. My other alternative I'm considering is 245/50-17 Dunlop SP5000's.

Default What about the Michelin Pilot Sports?

Seems a few have had trouble with them, but overall response has been very positive on the board. At 235/55 what is the speedometer error? Not crazy about that prospect as I look at the need for new tires in the near future.

Pass. Too expensive. Chance of driveability problems too high.

Would running these make the use of the spare problematic??

Default For 235/55's yes, but only a little bit. It's not like you'd be stranded...

...you'd just not want to go very far or very fast on the spare. There's only about a 1.5% difference in diameter between a 225/55 and 235/55. 245/50's are practically the same diameter as 225/55's so there wouldn't be any problem there.
