I just purchased some Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3s for my 2016 Accord. I'll run these spring to fall until I switch over my 17" winter combo. These have been excellent so far! Ride quality, noise, and grip are all vasty improved from the mis-matched combo of two OE ContiProContacts and two...

For sure! That was my general assumption as well. Hopefully they'll get to a similar comparison.

I found this testing interesting so I figured I'd share it here. I've been seeing a lot more "all-weather" tires here in Michigan (the tread pattern of the CC2s is hard to miss) and I've always been curious how they actually compare to dedicated winters. As I currently run Blizzak WS80s, I...

I am also curious about this oil and would love to see a VOA! I've been tempted to switch to it in my '16 Accord that has shown decent fuel dilution with a few UOAs (currently running Valvoline Extended Protection 0w-20.)

That's great to hear, thanks! I am getting them installed tomorrow.

A couple of MANN filters - the OE Smart filters are becoming a little harder to find....I sourced this one through "Smart Madness" (first purchase with them). Plus 10 quarts of Mobil 1 0w-40

Good question. Almost two years (with a lot of short trips) just feels like a really long time and Mobil 1 0w-40 is pretty reasonably priced. Especially two 5qt jugs perfectly covers the Smart car and BMW. I was tempted to get a UOA but decided not to....I did get a UOA on my 328 with a similar...

I run the same size for my winter set! The ride quality is much better than the 235/40/19 config. Hopefully they expand the sizes they offer.

I appreciate the comments everyone! I have had previous generations of both all season and summer-only Michelin Pilot Sports and really liked them, but I think I will give these Pirellis a try. Between summer, winter, and UHP all season tires, I have had Continental, Michelin, Dunlop, Hankook...

Thank you for the detailed write-up! This is exactly what I was looking for. I also typically only buy UHP A/S or Summer Tires. Sounds like you have a really fun set up! Yes, I did see the TireRack review / video and is partially what making me lean towards the Pirellis. I will still have my...

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I wish the fuel dilution wasn't so high, but it seems to be the answer. I'd hate to see the results if I followed the OLM!

I need new tires for my '16 Accord Sport in the stock 235/40/19 and I'm curious if anyone has tried the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3s? I was initially planning on getting Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4s, but it appears the Pirellis are rated better in several aspects. They also currently have a $100...
