Luke - Long Tread Life Tire Recommendation
Luke,
My Pirelli PZero Nero M&S are almost worn down to the wear bars in the rear (3/32" remaining) after 10,500 miles of mostly freeway miles. The wear pattern is even across both rear tires. No burnouts or anything...couldn't smoke em even if I wanted since I have too much grip with AWD. The fronts are about halfway worn.
Since tire diameter & tread depth are supposed to match with AWD, I'll need to replace all 4 tires soon.
Do you have a recommendation for a longer lasting tire than the PZero Nero M&S? In order, my priorities are (1) ride/noise comfort, (2) tread life, and (3) performance. Snow traction does not matter. The tire size is 235/45/17.
I specifically am considering the following tires. It's hard for me to compare survey data since a they're not all in the same category. Which of these do you think best fits my needs or is there a better match not on this list?
1. Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
2. Continental ContiProContact
3. Yokohama AVID H4S
4. Bridgestone Potenza G009
5. Bridgestone Turanza LS-Z ($$$! worth it?)
Thanks
