Default Snow tires for winter? I think not, thats what quattro is for

Just bought a new set of p zero nero m+s's. when i first had them installed i noticed a lot of road noise and an odd pull to the right. As i was in a rush to get home I didnt even look at them, but once i got home i checked the tire presure and it seems 1010tire (the one in richmond, vancouver, bc, canada) decided to fill the front tires to a WHOPPING 25psi in the front and 30 in the back! maybe i just like to run a little higher psi, but when the tires say 51psi max i like to run at least 40-42psi (let me know if im insane, tires are stock 2000 a4 205/55/16 ). After I pumped the tires up they feel a lot better. I had yokohama avid v4s's before and so far these feel way more responsive. If you are looking for tires and are not sure pirellis or yokos, i would say you cant go wrong either way.

A question for anybody, my buddy is trying to convince me the shop put P Zero Neros on my car instead of the p zero nero m+s. Is there supposed to be a designated m+s shown on the sidewall of the tire?

Dont know about your question, but just because the tire says MAX 51psi doesnt mean thats where you should run it.. look for the proper pressure on the tag and from there.. I usually run 2-4psi higher

Max pressure is for max weight; the info is on the tire. Adjust them accordingly.


25 and 30 pounds is way too low.
