Default getting new tires, what to get....

I'm about to replace my stock contis(thank god). I live in florida and i would say that tread life and dry weather performance are the most important to me. money is not a big problem. What do yall think is best for me?

Default If tread life is important , then Pirelli PZero neros M+S will give you the best tread wear

with this ulta high performance all season tire, you will sacrifice some performance on the track, but on the street it will not be a factor. Tread life on the high performance summer tires is poor due to soft rubber compounds used. Go to Tire Rack and you can compare all aspects of tires under consideration.

Default Love my P-Zero Neros...

Put them on my 01 S4 about 6K miles ago and they are great. They are a bit quieter and somehow feel "smoother". Unfortunately I will not be able to see how they will be in snow (they must be better than the P-6000) because I am picking up my NEW S4 in a couple of weeks.

Also, the Neros were cheaper than the P-6000.
