I was surprised at the winner. There hasn't been any conversation about them round here.

Carrera was running them on his pirelli before he sold it, I remember him explaining at a JKM day about why he went for them and iirc he was impressed with them

All 17 inch
1st to last

Pirelli PZero
Goodyear F1 AS2
Michelin PS3
Cont SC 5

Bridgestone Pot S001
Dunlop Sport Maxx RT
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo
Vredestrein Ultrac Vorti
Kumho Ecsta LE Sport
Nexen N800

top 4 quite close

Im not convinced to be honest and wonder if EVO are totally unbiased these days.
PZero surprises me. Rest I can believe as Ive ran PS3 and SC5 and they are good. Goodyear gets excellent reviews time after time.

I have recently fitted P-Zero's to my Pirelli and I've yet to make them loose traction in the dry. They seem a very capable tyre to me!
