I'm going to replace RFT Bridgestone Potenza next week.
I did some research and it seems like Michelin PS 2 are good tires but quite expensive. I've heard good reviews about Pirelli P Zero Nero M S. Thay are not that expensive ($800 for 4) and seems like a good perfomance tires.
I live in California and don't ride on the snow. Rain - yes. I have 18' rims.

Did anyone had Pirelli's? If so, what do you think about them? Any feedbacks?

Thank you

I had PZero Nero M&S on my '01 740i. I found them a comfortable, quiet, touring tire. At the limit they broke away gradually and with plenty of warning. With full tread they handled water and light snow but as tread depth reduced they became progressively slippery. Tire life was good but most of my driving was highway.

IMHO, it is not the tire I'd choose for an e60 - esp a 545 w/sport. There are Yokos or Bridgestones that get better reviews on TireRack. And their prices are very competitive. The General Exclaim UHP is another one to look at. And it you go TireRack don't forget the extra rebates thru the link in my signature.

I switched to Neros on my Mercedes E350 from Conti and it was a world of difference. They are very good tires. Little sticky, but really good
And right for the price. Lately, someone told me about Eagle F1 Goodyears. Look into those also.

On 18's here in Cali I'll be running Yokohama S drives or Hankook Ksports104(94.00 ea I had them on a Altima a few years ago and they're sticky)but the yokos are lighter at 23lbs ea

I am on my stocker rims as of now and I am running Falken 452's


I am sure the Neros are good, why pay all that loot for a years worth driving if that! more money for mods

I'd go with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric. It's most likely one of the best tires out right now, only downside is the treadware is pretty high.

easy choice

Brigdestone Potezna S03 tires, low noise could wear and its like riding on rails. Go sticks through high speed turns and braking. Water and ice is very good as well.

I had PZero Nero M+S in 275/35-18 all around on my E39 M5 and they were fantastic. I needed to have the ability not to be stranded in bad weather, and they were big enough and very predictable to be good performance tires. I recommend them.
