    Attn, DOC@TIRERACK... Need help with tires.

    Is there any way that a fellow Audiziner myself can possibly get a discount on Pirelli P Zero All Seasons? I have a 06 B7 A4.

    I need a set b/c I feel the integrity of my wheels have been compromised after at least 1 Flat tire on each of my wheels, not to mention having 1 close-to-bald tire. I have ~31,5xx Miles on my tires. I do lots of commuting her in NY, and would like to purchase a set of P Zero's. Please get back to me with any help, info, or hook ups. Thanks.

    attached are few pics.

    Bald a little?


    Same tire, different angle.


    The condition of the other 3 tires. All of which have had a flat tire once before.

    Sadly, we cannot offer discounts for forum members. Sorry that I could not do more

    If you're strapped for cash.... get something cheaper, and if you lots of commuting, get something with higher tread wear... may have to sacriface some grip though.... Tirerack does have a sale on the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX (600 treadwear rating)

    I kinda want top of the line all seasons...(living in ny). I commute a lot everyday, and would like high treadwear AND good grippage too. Can you or anyone recommend anything else?

    You want grip in all conditions, right? The PZero Nero M+S does have 1 fatal flaw.... the lack thereof siping. You need some siping to increase grip in the snow & on ice (breaking through the thin layer of water, that makes ice slippery).

    You're not going to get the good grippage in all weather conditions, despite the M+S rating & compound. I feel the same way about my Falken Ze912's: like the PZero Nero M+S, they are a M+S rated tire with an all-season compound, but the lack of any serious siping will make me question their effectiveness in the winter (which is why I have dedicated snow wheels & tires anyway).

    If you want good grip in all conditions and have high treadwear rating (and something that won't break the wallet), you'll have to make sacrifaces somewhere along the way.

    Depending on your size, Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS are our best sellers and much better in light snow traction.
