Tires for 20's - Pirelli, Conti or Yokohama?
Just received my CLS55 2 days ago - thanks to the guys on the forum who helped me with the decision. Ordered some black HRE 547, Renntech Lowering module and Carlsson front lip. Now I need to decide on tires. The 3 choices I see available on Tirerack are:
1. Pirelli PZero Nero
2. ContiSportContact 3
3. Yokohama Advan Sport
Anyone have any experience with these tires? I've read all the reviews but after some real world experience, especially guys running 20's. Prime concern is low noise and good grip. Tire wear is not so much of a priority.
Thanks again.

me personally I recommend Pirelli, overall the best tire for overall performance and a quiet tire, if the Yok's didnt wear out as fast it would be right up there! I think Yok's are a little more sticky than the Pirelli's but smoke through mine within 15,000 miles! Thats why I stick to Pirelli's! If you want a great cheap tire then Falkens FK452 are awesome but a little noisy. Thats my insight on those tires! Hope this may help!

I've had Pirelli's, Conti's, and Michelin's on my 20's, and the best for me is what I'm currently running, NITTO'S! very inexpensive tire, not alot of road noise, and good traction. I paid under $1k for all 4.
