Default Quick tire advice... Michelin Pilot Sport A/S vs Pirelli PZero Nero M&S

Had Nokian NRWs on the 2001 S4, but I traded those in with the car for an '04 S4.

Trying to decide between the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. I live in Chicago and will have these on late fall through early spring, so they'll see the cold temps and the snows.

Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Default Did you like the NRWs? If so, get the Nokian WR.

It will eat the pilot sport a/s and pzero nero M&S in the snow and ice.

Default seriously? man these guys up here looked at the treads and

laughed at me for even thinking about it. Maybe you're changing my mind. I'm sure the dry perfom would be much better than the Nokians I'm waiting another 3 weeks for.

Default Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on B5 S4 great wet, fair snow, but increased road noise.

I am still going to get another set or two
The only problem is $$$$.

I can't find anyone who sells them -- locally or online. Got sources?

Default Wait, I did find them, but...

They don't seem to come in 235/40-18.
What other size will fit the stock wheels?<ul><li><a href="http://www.etires.com/showSizes.jsp?manufacturer=nokian&amp;category=SNO WS&amp;group=WR">Nokian WR at eTires</a></li></ul>
