I dont know about the Zero series, but I have had the A/S series for
well over 30k. I have been to the drag strip several times, and
basically abused them. They are pretty quite, though the goodyears are a
little better in that respect. I noticed alot better grip at speed,
around corners, in the rian, on/off road, just a great tire overall.
I've been saving my pennies and through a friend am getting some larger
aftrmrkt rims, I plan on sticking with the Pirelli name, though a more
on road performance tire for even more handling. You can also check
Cooper tires out, a service writer told me that Cooper bought Pirelli,
and that the Cooper tires are getting the same technology, and
performance for less money and name. Its just a thought. Hope this
helps.
