Well, Nero M&S isn't that great in the snow either. It's an all-season > alright, but geared mostly towards summer performance and that is achieved > at the expense of rather poor snow performance. Hopefully TR salesrep has > made that clear.>

For best of both worlds, you really need two dedicated sets of tires. > Otherwise, you end up sacrificing performance, especially if you like to > drive "on the edge".>

Hello all,>

I just fitted my S4 with PZero Nero M+S tires last week. I researched the >tires, and Tirerack.com suggested these as the best performing all weather >tires. Based on reviews in all categories, theses tires SHOULD be better >than OEMs for handling, dry traction, noise, tire wear, etc. - in ALL >categories. I'm having some serious doubts....

I have about 600 miles on them, and I've found some interesting dynamics >with them in hard turns. Basically, when I set up in a turn hard, or try to >accelerate out, I am feeling some 'fighting' between the four corners of the >car. I can't explain if it is the traction/anti skid control kicking in, or >if the tires are flat out letting go. My question is this:>
