Need opinions on which tire to buy

[Twi5ter.0range]

Only have had the car for a month and a half and i’m already sick of the stock pirelli p zero nero’s. They’re garbage. I had michelin pilot sport 4s on my previous mustangs and they were great tires except for winter time. Don’t really see much snow in texas but it gets icy here and there. I know that they were summer tires and not really meant for winter. I’m having a hard time choosing between michelin pilot sport all season 4 and continental extremecontact dws06 plus. I’m more towards the continentals but I would like to get opinions from you guys.

I’m a Continental guy, so I would go with the Conti. Every bit as good as Michelin IMO.

They are both great tires. Conti’s run a little softer due to their sidewalks. They are also cheaper. Flip a coin or buy which one looks better to you!

I can’t say I’ve had any experience with the Pilot Sports, but I put a set of those Continentals on my Mustang and they are way better tires than the Pirellis. Overall I’m very happy with them. I haven’t had a chance to try them out on ice yet though.

I live in N TX and had P zeros stock on my
2021 PP. The chip sealed roads all around me ate them up in 6k miles. I have since switched to pilot sport all season 4 and they are holding up much better. This will be my first winter with them but I imagine they will be way better than the p zeros which were basically useless when it got very cold here.

Just curious: what is it you dislike so much about the P Zero Neros? I keep reading comments like this but no one ever explains. I have them OEM stock on both of my GTs and so far I can’t find anything about them that’s no bueno. And I push ‘em pretty hard on these curvy mountain roads.

I sometimes wonder if it’s just cool to hate on P Zero Neros.

yeah i’m most likely going to go with the continentals. cheaper and probably better

Good choice. Definitely cheaper. Not necessarily better but still an awesome tire.

My last set was Goodyear Assurance Comfortdrive and loved em. They were quiet and rode great.

I would agree, I don’t think the Conti’s are necessarily better than the Michelin but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say they’re about equal

Testing results from people that have driven both... https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=280

Tough call, these are two solid options. Both options grip well and handle cooler weather. In my personal experience, the Michelin respond to steering input quicker. I don't think you can go wrong either way though.

if you’ve had other tires on your stang, you woulda seen and felt that the p zeros are not that good of a tire. they don’t dampen as well as other brands, they don’t have as good traction, and they don’t look that good.

Got the tires today and holy shi* what a difference from the pirelli’s. it was almost everything i expected it to be. Only thing is that it makes the car look not as “lowered” as the pirelli’s did. There’s just a little more gap between the tire and fender but idk it could just be my eyes. Michelin ps4s have the best look on a wheel imo but that wasn’t a choice. but damn it performs as good as michelin. I’ve always been a michelin guy but pirelli has gotten my respect for sure.

Thanks for your input. Funny thing is that i bought the tires from discount tire and mounted and balanced them myself at my shop and did an alignment after.
