Conti DWs were not in stock when I needed tires. So I went with Sumi and have been very happy so far (very limited mileage, car just arrived wearing the new shoes and storm of 2 centuries hit us here in CT). But spirited driving today (passed emissions - DMV next) and the tires were great. What value!

Conti DW best value followed by Sumi for me. I've driven Yokos, Michelins (PS, PS2, PSC), etc.

Michelin Super Sports are available for your car, from what I have read they are getting great reviews. This was my 1st choice, but the rear tires for my S are not in production yet, ( if ever ), per my phone call to Michelin. I just picked up my 2nd choice, PS2's, Not mounted yet to give any feed back.

Happy Sumi customer here as well, if you want to test drive my car more extensively you are welcome to.
As a DD my tire budget is pretty high so I switched from expensive PS2 and Pzeros to the sumi.
To be fair I hated the Pzeros really liked the PS2s, I feel Sumi is 75% of the PS2 at half the price.

Hi folks,

On the topic of tyres ( note the correct spelling , haha) what are my learned colleagues opinions of Pirelli P zeros?

They are on my (first ever) porsche- a C4S. I use the car as a daily driver and highway cruiser.

Thanks.

still evaluating the decision. Drove a local car with Sumis, not bad. Improved feel over the Dirrezas I have now. Would like to drive local car, SF bay area with Pilots. anyone?

I would go with the super sports. I instructed a guy with these and I was pretty impressed. That said, I have the Dunlops and I am really surprised by your dislike of them as I think they are very good on the street - I use Hankook's on the track so I cannot really speak for them track wise.
