Just wondering how different these would be than the stock PZero's? I live in Southern California so it never snows and it rarely ever rains. I don't need an all season tire. Would the P7's be worth almost double the price of the PZero's?

 

My boss runs them on his Cadillac XLR-V... He says they're a very quiet and comfortable tire, and he chose them because he didn't like how directional tires 'grab' in the ruts in our terrible roads here.

However, he's not a sporty driver, and things like grip and handling don't matter a whole lot to him.

What do you want from your tires? Are you more like my boss, or more like me? (I value grip and handling over comfort and quiet)

 

That seems weird that the P7's don't do as well as far as handling and grip considering they're so high end? I have no problem with the stock PZero's, but just wanted to know if the P7's are worth twice the cost. I'd say I'm a pretty sporty driver as well.

 

It's not that they're a bad handling tire or anything. It's just that what you're paying for with the P7s is the luxury ride in addition to the handling. And if you can do without the luxury car aspects there are a lot better, less expensive summer tires out there that grip and go as good or better than the p7.

 

Hmm, seems like they're not worth it. Thanks man.
