Conti Vs Pirelli

I need a new set of tires for my cargraphic 20 inch wheels. I ran conti sport contact 3 for awhile but am looking into Pirelli pzero nero.

conti

no i mean conti 3. they been out for sometime now. I have heard that conti overrates their tread life ratings. So what i am really looking for is some experiences with both tires and how many miles you got out of them.

This is so funny, but I now have the Contis on the rear (I have 20s) and the Pirellis on the front. I had the Pirellis all around, but when I went to the drag strip, I somehow hooked up and literally spun the tires. What I mean is, the words on the side of the tire were stretched! Crazy! So now I have Conti's back there and take my 19s to the drag strip. 500 n some horsepower, baby!

Pirelli just released a new PZero... I don't know how that will stack up, but I've been very happy with the PZero Rossos.

PS2s on the car today. I will never go back to the Pirelli's way to loud and they aren't as smooth. The ps2's handle better too.
