Goodyear Eagle F1 asymetric a/s is an EXCELLENT tire,had a set and loved them,of course they squirmed more than a summer only when pushed hard , but you get used to it and it rules the frigid and light snow roads,and they are FANTASTIC in the rain!!

I run the Cooper's as my winter tires, for where I live they work very well, but they are not a deep snow kinda tire. I agree with the Canadian ir you need Winter tires get real winter tires.

Again, according to the Pirelli Web Site, there is only one (1) "P Zero Nero" tire (which is listed as a "Summer" Tire)...

Summer:

All season:

In fact, if you go to the Pirelli site it's even MORE confusing as they list the all season tire as "P Zero Nero m+s" with the m & s super small next to it. M+S of course means mud and snow (which is absurd since in the United States the M+S rating means jack in terms of whether a tire is suited for winter driver or not).

Also, it appears that the tires themselves don't really say what sort of P Zero Nero tire it is, it just says "P Zero Nero" for all of them. Look for a M+S symbol/lettering on the tire, that should indicated it's supposed to be all season. I don't believe the summer only tires have that.

I checked my tires and they are the P Zero Nero's. I then logged into the Pirelli Web Site to look up how Pirelli officially defines the P Zero & P Zero Nero. They define both tires as "Summer" tires. According to they're web site, Pirelli really doesnt have an "All Season" Tire. All they're tires are categorized 2 ways, as either a "Winter" or "Summer" tire. I'm curious how/why you believed the "P Zero Nero" is an "All Season" tire, but not the "P Zero"?
