You have a wider wheel than stock. 7.5 or 8"? and you have drop with Cobb do you plan to roll rear fender?

Don't know yet what to try the Kuhmo's sound like a decent tire what about hankook or yokohama
Read the Tire Rack test of the Pirellis before buying them...
Anyways, stuff like this should be bought based on objective reviews/tests, not some silly marketing or brand name. Even worse is when people buy stuff like that simply because "my friend had them and said they're good."

I did read it and it they got the best rating so do you know something else I should read?
What tires are you going to buy, when the times approaches, I know I don't want the bridgestone's again, if I was racing SCCA, then maybe the soft bridgestones, however I'm not racing, and over 100 mph on the surface roads in Cali, well you won't have a car if caught. The Kuhmo's seem to be a good deal, only falken and yokohama offer a mileage warranty and that is not the 215/45/18 size, only in the 225/45/18.

So those Pzero Nero even though they are all season will still do just as well as a good max performance summer tire in the dry?
The way I figure it is the only way to get a better tire then a really good all season tire has to be a expensive max summer tire. So if I am not going to spend $250 on a max summer tire I might as well not get a cheaper version of it since it wont be as good as the Pzero Nero all season.
Is this correct thinking or am an idiot?
I just want a very good tire that isnt too expensive and the tire shop told me to consider these Pzero Nero tires as being an all around very good tire. Tirerack seems to give it the best ratings over the others and they say its better in dry and some others are better in wet. I am in Cali so no worries on bad weather but my thoughts are that this all season tire is better then a mid range summer tire and it should last longer.
Please verify or correct me.

I was told the Nero is a good tire today when crusing to all the different tire stores here locally, most don't carry the stock 215/45/18 tire, you might want to look at the Yokohama 520 it has 60,000 mile warranty and 225/40/18 and 225/45/18 sizes...

I think I am going to try out those Nero tires since I keep hearing they are a good choice. I dont drive in snow and mud but then again a summer tire is not so good in rain which I think is worse then having a all season that is atleast good at all of it.
Tireracks test shows them really pushing the all seasons hard on a BMW and the Neros took first place with a advantage in dry traction but a bit of sacrafice in wet which seems perfect for me.
Its sort of stupid to buy a super good tire then drive it like a baby as to not wear them even though they are meant for that, lol. Or you buy a junky tire then the car cant handle like it was built for. So I am trying to find a middle or the road type tire and I think the Neros should do the trick.
I still like to push the car from time to time for fun but to drive like an ass all the time is too expensive.

I'm going to buy another set of Kumho Ecsta SPTs. I had them on my last car, and they kicked ass. Tire Rack shows them as being a class leader, and you can't beat the price.
They're summer tires, so they'll be really sticky. I actually got decent mileage out of them last time.
I'll just run a set of dedicated snow tires/wheels next year.
It's ultimately your call. Decide what your priorities are. Long life? Good wet traction? Low road noise? Quick steering repsonse? etc.
Without some priorities or at least an idea of what's important to you in a tire, how can you make a decision?
