Smile All Season Tires

My current tires have reached the end of the life (95000 k) & I will replacing them before the winter hits.
The tires I'm looking for would be kind of High Performance All Season, with adequate traction in dry, wet & snow.
Been doing some research & narrowed down my search to the following tires for my 2000 Bonneville SSEi (Tires: 235/55/17):

Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/*
Michelin Pilot HX MXM4
Pirelli PZero Nero M&* PINNA
Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&* Run Flat

What do you guys/gals think of these tires & would you have any other suggestions.

I would appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks for the feedback....Actually, I was leaning towards the P-Zero'* myself & I got a quote for them for $260.00 (includes installation & disposal).

I bought them on ebay in April and had them put on in June. They were from macstirebin. Great people to do business with. 4- P 235 55 17 PIRELLI P-ZERO NERO M+* *NEW* and I did pay 266.00 for them. I also paid 64 dollars to have them Fed X to my house. It also cost 10 dollars a piece to have them put on and balanced.

Sounds like you better go for it.

The price I am posting for the Pirelli'* is for 4. I shopped around a bit. The Pirellis I bought in April were 66.50 each plus the 16 dollars each shipping and then it was 10 dollars a piece to have them put on and balanced.

Now they would be 78.25 each plus the 16 dollars shipping and whatever a local shop would install and balance them for.

Wow! Lucky you. The best price I could find here in Ontario is $260.00 + taxes. Sounds like I may have to take a trip to the US instead.
