19K need new 20" tires Recommendations
Currently running the Pirelli P Zeros...looking for replacements. The Zeros are really soft, and wear quick. Anyone running something different and had good success, or traded theirs out to a good replacement? Live in northern CA. Thanks

Even though I switched my Pirellis out for all-season rubber, if I were going to shop for new summer rubber I would look at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Had the previous gen of those on the RS4 and they were great. BTW - 19K miles on summer rubber is pretty good. Good luck!

I have the P Zeros and agree that they seem to wear very quickly. It won't be long before I put the winter tires/wheels on, but I'll need a new set of summer rubber in the spring. I've heard good things about the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and will probably go with those. One of the car mags ran a comparison recently, within the last month or two. I'll post a link if I can find it.

If i lived in California I would go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports awesome dry weather tire. Unfortunately I live in Mid West and we get snow so i went with all season Continental DWS Extreme Performance tires I'm very happy with them so far.

I had Yokohomas OEM. Found them to be very loud. Changed them out after 15k - they still had a had a few thousand miles left, but I got a difficult to repair flat. I replaced them with Continental DWS and so far am very happy. I live in a southern climate, and don't need the all seasons, but I find them much quieter with a smoother ride. Also they should last much longer. And they are significantly cheaper - about $285/ each vs. $400 - 500 for ultra performance tires. I have 20" with a sport package and love a sporty feel, but the Yokos were just overkill. Much happier now.

My A7 came with the Pirelli P-Zeros, and I could not be happier with them. They lasted a whopping 33K miles. I just replaced them last week at my 35K mile service with another set. I hope they last as long!

Anyone have experience with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S? How do they compare to other all season tires?
