I'll fight Perilli but in meantime I'll put on Craigslist and try to recoup as much as I can, look to replace with the Michelin and Conti's. Lessoned learned.........

BTW - the car came with summer only run flats and here in mid-atlantic we do get a lot of winter days around and below freezing.

Thanks for everyones response.

Another vote for Michelin. Take a look at the new, just released in July of 2013, Michelin A/S 3 high performance all season tire.

I'll be asked to test tires for Michelin from time to time; I was luckily enough to be included in their testing sessions in December of 2012 for the A/S 3. Hands down, this tire out performed the competition. The other drivers in my run group included factory Porsche, Ferarri, and Corvette drivers. All of us were turning faster laps on the A/S 3.

I run the Pilot Super Sports and Cups on my street/track cars. I'm about to throw out my Conti DWSs on the wife's Audi A3 Quattro for the Michelin A/S 3s. I dare say, the A/S 3 was grippier in the dry than my old PS2s! Also, the A/S 3s have a 45,000 mile rating for a square set up!

Another vote for Conti DWS for a daily use tire. Pzeros are crap for what they should do. Had a set of corsa and they still sucked so I would never even bother with their normal tire.
