Should I replace new OEM P6 with Pzero M&S?
I think I will get the OZ SL wheel 17x8
Now thinking of replacing stock OEM P6 tire.
Need an all season for Colorado weather, to run three seasons, will use OEM wheels for winter tire.
Tire rack surveys really like Pirelli zero Nero M&S.
Question: Will I notice a significant difference in handling and performance by replacing my new OEM P6 tires with the Pzero all seasons?

A bit firmer ride, but better in the three season conditions you're using them for.
These have been outstanding tires. Not just in surveys, but in testing as well.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

Better how and how much?
I know the how much is a tough to answer question depending on how one drives.
The 04 A6 has a lot softer ride than I'm used to. I've been on 16" Michelin Pilot Sport A/S the past 3 years driving a Saab 9000 Aero. I'm not sure how much is the suspension of the A6 and how much is the P6 tires. I really liked driving on the Michelin pilot Sports but they are a bit more pricey and the Pzero's seem very highly rated.
Gary said "better for the three season conditions you're using them for" Better How?
What will I feel different from the P6's?

Any difference in the cold and lighter snow I'll see late fall and early spring?
And thank you very much for your help Gary!
One more question looks like tire rack is out of stock of my size 235/45 17 for about 3 months. Is this true and is there a solution?

Likely less snow capability, little differnce in dry cold. It is true this particular 235/45R17 size is backordered until at least November unfortunately.
