Default pirelli pzero nero m&s VS. kumho escata asx VS. sumitomo htrz ii

i'm asking which is best in terms of tread life (wear), comfort, noise, and overall handling (dry).

i know that the sumitomo isn't in the same category but its got the right price and is comparable to the kumhos...also do you think the extra $34 a tire is worth it for the pirelli's over the kumhos b/c the diff in performance seems minimal

which do you think is better for a 225/40/18.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testResultsModel.jsp?">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testResultsModel.jsp?</a</li></ul>

You're right. The HTRZII is not in the same category and is not very comparable to the other two. It will have more dry grip and faster steering response, but will ride more firmly and loudly, and expect about 20K for wear.

The two A/S tires youre considering are very comparable, with a slight advantage to the Nero M+S for cornering and dry grip.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
