Quick review on the Pirelli P Zero All Season Tires. Good Lord are these way more quiet than the OEMs !!!! Ride quality is about the same, if maybe a smidge softer. Traction has been the same in dry and wet. Spirited driving does not appear to have suffered. Not sure on high level grip at the edge as I have not had a chance to do that on either the OEMs or these. At the moment, 800 miles in, these are a WINNER.

UPDATE
I bought the Pirelli P Zero All Season through America's Tires. They did not have the inventory in the website but they had to make special call to their warehouse and delivered it in two days. I also added my AAA discount, and negotiated the price for the full set at 2500~.
The unfortunate part, after installation, they damaged 3 of my rims from their shovel tool that separates the tire from the rims. I was able to put in the claim and got a $975 check after sending my quote from a dealer approved vendor. Highly recommend getting All-Season over the Winter or Summer tires. They last longer They are quieter than my old Nittos because they have a foam installed inside. Super happy about the purchase. |

Your review is accurate. I have the same experience. The BMW Service Agent told me that BMW doesn't have an All Season approved OE tire and they only have winter and summer tire. He said the All Season last longer and it's just a way for these business partners to make more money. They are all in cahoots with each other. |

And no summer tire + chain != to all season. The difference and the question is when do you put on the chains? Snow sock doesn’t last long on if road is dry, chains reduce your speed to about 35mph. You really cannot have them on unless there some good amount of snow on road. Long before they, you summer tire will have traction issue, especially at higher speed. Another thought, keep summer tires. Rent a car or your ski trip ?

For Cali, we have these R1, R2, R3 condition rating setup by Caltran. With R2, everyone is required to have chain or traction device on, regardless of xWD or winter tires. Caltran will have check point on highway to enforce this. It is not common, but I have encounter more than a few times of R2, usually on Tahoe (I-80/US50) area, Shasta (I-5) mountain. And believe it or not, Great Vine (I-5) summit, which is kind of close to you. So do bring along autosocks.

Slight correction on the Caltrans Chain Requirements: R2 is Chains on 2WD, Snow rated tires OK on 4WD, but chains must be in possession. |
