Default Pirelli Nero vs Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

My 88 Carrera needs some new shoes. I've done a search and there are next to zero posts on the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S.

My car is a weekend spirited driver, I don't track the car. I'm trying to decide between the two above tires. I really would like the Goodyears but they are on backorder until the end of June. I could wait, but I'd still like some opinions on the Neros.

The Goodyears have a tread rating of 280 while the Pirellis are 400. Most other ratings are close.

I live in Arizona, average about 3k miles a year, and don't drive my car in the rain.

Thanks for any opinions.

Do you really need a mud & snow tire in Arizona? If not, consider the plain P-Zero Nero with a treadwear rating of 220.

Mark - you cannot compare treadratings between manufacturers. The standard P-Zero Nero has high ratings. I would avoid an M&S like the plauge. Have you considered the Pilot Sport 2 or the S-03?
