The Neros are good but...
You know I love you Bryan, but I have to say the P6 is possibly the worst ever all season tires I have ever used. They come stock with my first A3 and you cannot find anything worse. Most complained feature on the 1st Gen A3. They squeal like a pig at any level of turn, the side walls are bubblicious and they aren't even that comfortable to begin with. The only good thing about these tires is that their tread life is pretty short, so you can buy another set within a season.
Neros are good, but don't use them for winter. I tried and almost failed last year.

Perhaps you are not as demanding or picky...
But if you read any reviews online or most forums with cars that had the P6 as stockers, I'd say a good portion of the reviews are bad.
Most A3 owners have been trashing these stockers since day one.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMake%3D Pirelli%26amp%3BtireModel%3DP6%2BFour%2BSeasons">h ttp://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P6+Four+S easons</a></li></ul>

I'd argue that - I've put the car through its paces and I am quite picky...
I regularly drive mountain roads in all kinds of weather and I've put it through hard curves at some pretty good speeds with no problems. I RARELY hear them squeal.
There's no doubt that season-specific tires are better, but for all seasons, I have more confidence in the P6s than other all seasons I've had (Dunlop and Goodyear) - especially in snow.
I may have lucked out and got a better than average set i suppose, or the A4 is a better application than the A3, I don't know, and guess don't care all that much - I'll be getting summers after these wear out anyway; and judging from comments, that might not be too long. :-)
