I went with the 225/45 Pirelli PZero. From what I can tell from a brief test ride, they seem pretty sticky but a little noisy. At least they make more noise than my old Falkens.
It's funny how you look at your old wheels and tires, and justify that they look good. Then when you mount new, you wonder how you put up with your old wheels for so long.

I have a very worn set of PZero Nero's now and contemplating either these again, or the ContiExtreme Contact, or the Goodyear Eagle F1's......any advice?

I just got the Falken FK452's for my S4. I read good reviews on them and I have Falken Azenis ST115's on the wheels that I took off of my last S4. I like their tires from my experiences so far.

I believe the Pirellis are the best handeling tire of the bunch, which is why I picked them. I don't have to worry about snow, but I am a little concerned as they are supposed to be junk in the wet. IMO the Goodyears would be a good compromise tire for wear, handeling and weather.
