Looking to replace the OEM Goodyear Tire. Debating either Falken Ziex 512 225/55/17 or the Pirelli Nero M+S 235/55/17.

I love the Pirelli PZero Nero M+S
Very quiet tire which has great performance (for an all season)...
I went with 245/45/17 which is slightly smaller than stock... If I recall correctly at 65MPH it reads 2-3 miles faster than actual.
I think if I were to do it again, I would get a slightly larger tire than smaller (like I did)... Couple reasons for this. First is I am racking up more miles on the car than I am actually driving. Second, I am not sure if it is because of the tire but it seems like the wheels are a little too small for the vehicle. At least to me it appears this way... I don't recall thinking this with the stock tires. They look nice and wide though
Good luck with your choice!

I have Nero M+S 225/45-17's on my S4. A great all season tire. Very close to the Pilot A/S I have on my allroad for traction, with a nice stiff sidewall; but very quiet and smooth ride, especially for a low profile tire. Went through a few R2 rated storms this season in the Sierra Nevada's without a hitch. Great traction in the snow; awesome traction in the wet. Great grip in the dry (like the Pilot A/S, pretty close to a high performance summer tire).
Too bad they don't make a 245/50-17 though, but the 235/55-17 should fit just fine with a small percentage of speedo error.
