Opinions on tires: Pilot Sports or PZero Rosso's? I want good dry & wet performance with low noise.

S-02 PP Excellent wet/dry. They seem quieter than pilots, but still have some road noise.

Default I still think the Yoko AVS sports beats those by a hair if comparing tires with 200TW

wet/dry traction that is. If dry only, then BFG KD's - and they suck at wet

Default I have Yoko AVS Sports, and ....

they stick like glue in dry, very good in wet. Much quieter that I thought they would be, though I only have 1500 miles on them. Very predictable when pushed to the limits.

Default According to "Sport Auto" issue 6/2000, P Rosso's are best out

of a bunch of tires including AVS Sport, S-02PP and Michelin Pilot. Its strengths includeexcellent wet and dry handling,good traction. Only weakness dry braking. You also might want to consider the Dunlop SP9000 which finished right behinf the P Rossos in second spot. This test highly recommended the Rossos, the Dunlop and the S-02pp, with the remaining tires being only recommended. The Michelins, incidentaly, finished last.
