If they have the same summer tire comparo that you could dig up that would be great
Had to post twice here's the other list

Thanks for posting those Tony, Most of the tires in the top half did well w/ wet & dry grip & braking.

I still consider the T1s a good option when price is factored in, they'd be my choice if I were replacing mine today. But w/ so many choices at different price points there's something for everyone

I had P Zeros on our BMW 7 series and was pretty impressed, not sure if they've changed the compound since then but they wore almost as fast as my 050 Potenzas on my 07 G.

Thanks for posting those. As someone who does data for a living, I'd really like to see the testing procedures and actual data points that determine their rankings. Nonetheless, you don't see many comparisons like that, so it is certainly relative.

Interesting they rank both the Pirelli and Michelin in first, and C&D ranked them last and first, respectively.

I do think their pricing is a little messed up. They used the same size all around. In 19"s some of the prices jump higher than others. I couldn't find the zero neros for as good a price as the F1s at the time. I liked that Pirelli is the stock tires on a lot of high end cars

Even mid range cars, IIRC they're stock on 5.0 Mustangs too.
They don't get much attention on this site however

PS - the article is light on their derivation of the data. i imagine that's an on line feature. Cheers.
