Ah. You were talking about PZero System, not the new PZero.

Rear tires alone there's $120 difference for a pair.

I have Sumitomo HRTZ IIIs and they are nice. DO NOT TRY DOING ANYTHING IN THE RAIN THOUGH. I was scared ****************less driving the car in heavy rain the other day. I didn't have that problem with my old S-03s and P-Zero Rossos.

AH - yes... I got the Pzero "system". it has the N3 rating on it. I believe these are THE tires that the car came with when new in 2000. I still love 'em.

i noticed the treadwear rating on the "cheaper" N3s is lower than this newer PZero tire.... i'm wondering if the ones I have which are cheaper stick better but wear faster? as i only derive this car for pure fun and occasional commuting to work - i couldnt give a rat's a$$ about noise, wet traction (so. cal.) - i just want STICK STICK STICK. i'm not goin to get track tires and have them wear out in a few months... but for a street tire, these rock.

honestly, our cars handle so well, i'm sure a lot of the ultra high performance tiers would make anyone happy with their car. I am happy with what was on the car when I bought it so I figured "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and stayed with what was on teh car.

given a set of tires is $1000+, it would have been an expensive "mistake" if I had switched and NOT liked what I put on!
