Default Looking for recommendations for 235/40/18's...

The last two sets of tires I have gone with 225/40/18's both Pzero Neros for my bbs ch 18x8.5's. They are great high performance tires with an all season rating. However i would like to try something different. The main problem with the Neros are the thin sidewalls hence why now i want to go with a 235.

Can anyone recommend a good summer tire that would be good for some winter driving also? Thinking of just going with PS2's? Thoughts/Insights...

TIA ;-)

The PS2 would be very poor in snow. If you're looking for other ultra high performance all season tires like the Nero M+S, check out the Bridgestone Re960A/S Pole Position and Yokohama Advan S4.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&amp;url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>

Default Also, what are your thoughts on the Michelin® Pilot® Exalto® PE2? Better performance than...

pzero neros? Though they only come in 225/40ZR18 but michelin sidewalls tend to be thicker than a pzero tire

Default Those tires will have zero traction in snow, otherwise a fine choice.

Even with quattro I would not drive with this tire in light snow.
