2015 TTS
I previously picked up either a bolt or something and a second sheet metal screw in the left rear tire, P-Zero.
Plugged both holes and the tire holds air so I have been enjoying the car but keep speeds below about 80 max, considering that winter is here.
The tire were all replaced with new about 8K miles ago prior to my purchase.
I keep reading about Michelins being a better tire overall, but the front P-Zero's have a lot of life left in them so I am considering just throwing a set of new rears on the car and just driving it as is.
I haven't been able to notice any issues with the Pirellis but they do have a bit of road noise that fortunately gets covered by the Burmester pretty easily at moderate volume.
So the question becomes, do I cheap out and go with a set of rear P-Zeros or is the swap to a full set of Michelins worth the extra expense for a basically street driven car that will see a few trips to the dragstrip and maybe a few top speed runs?
I've used Michelins on many other cars and always had good luck with them.

 

a $ decision.......choices on where you spend your money.......I have done both......all 4 or just 2 on my 911s.........or 2 at first and then all 4

 

Yea, I understand.
Have time to decide, probably won't change them out until spring.

 

If your not pushing the car or feeling like they are not delivering, the P-Zero's are fine...

Personally I couldn't wait to get the Zeros off and replace them with MPS4S.

 

Yea, I think for my purposes as this point just replacing the rears should work.
I'll think on this more over the winter.

 

+1

it’s not uncommon to go through two sets of rear tires for every set of front tires, so there’s nothing wrong with replacing the rear Pirellis. That said, the Michelin PS4S is much better in terms of ride quality and noise level. You many not notice the difference as much when driving in cold weather as you will in warm weather. Neither the P-Zero nor the PS4S are designed for winter weather, and they will both suck in that application.

 

The bolded is what I have seen from some threads here.
The fronts are in really good shape and IMO it would be a shame to replace them right now.
I'll probably drag the car out this winter when we have some moderate days with no snow on the roads.

 

I am not a fan of the Pirrelli's, but as Paul mentioned, if you don't really push the car and don't drive it in the rain you are probably ok.

I find the Michelin is quieter, stickier, more predictable and works very well in the wet.

 

buy 2 new P zero rears

 

That's what I'm thinking.
I'd prefer the Michelins but for my driving I should be good.


Yep.

 

Pretty normal as shared by others. Generally people like the Michelin’s more. It also depends on your power goals. Toyo’s may be on the menu although they are noisy.

 

I drive maturely and my Yoko Apexs are just fine..not for snow though..

 

If I go the crazy power route, I would consider R888's.

 

Otherwise I have definitely had guys who like the Perelli especially the latest version, but most love Michelin
