I was just wondering how many R owners on this forum are braving winter with their Pirelli P Zero's? I live in Kansas City and there are usually only a few heavy snows per year, but several light snow/ice/slush situations. Also, massive potholes open up during the first few months of the year. I am trying to buy snow tires and steelies, but I was curious as to how many of you will be braving mild winters with your stock Volans and Pirellis?

I'm in Oregon, so i'm leaving my Titans on with their Proxes FZ4 Tires, i know if it snows at all, i won't drive, and they don't salt the roads here, so i'm pretty much good to go.

You would have to be crazy to drive on those! And a few holes in the road will bend the rims. The replacement cost of one rim and tire would more than pay for a set of steels and snows or in your case with limited snow even steels and a good set of all season tires. It would give your ABS/TRACS system a very good workout!

Duncan,

I'm over here in St. Louis, and I've been using the P-zeros on 17" Titans for my 850, but I swap back to the 16" swept-spoke's with snow-tires for the winter. I've found that the P-zeros begin to lose grip just from the cold weather, as the rubber isn't as flexible. I wouldn't even try and drive with them in snow!
