Default Tyre reviews and comparisons

Can anyone point me in the direction of a recent test on tyres? I currently run P7000 Pirellis but have not been too impressed with the wet handling as they have worn. They were OK when new but not startling.
My current thinking is to try Yokohama AVS as a couple of mates have them and reckon they're pretty good. But I need more info as I like the general characteristics of the Pirellis (stiff side wall, no tramlining, reasonable wear). Have also thought about PZero Nero's. Are they any good? Any help appreciated.

I'd stay away from the Yoko's in the wet - I've never had a set that have been that good (although very sticky in the dry), they just don't cut it for me!

I rate the Toyo's for cheapness, the Goodyears for a little more and if you can get hold of some Bridgestone SO2's (which I'm probably going for again this time round), then I think you'll be more than satisfied with the wet performance.

Having said that - I just got advised that the Pirelli Rosso's are the best all rounders at the mo, I'm having a look around for info to support that and will post if I find some reviews

Cheers matey. Always had the Toyos then tried the Pirellis, and preferred the feel of them.

I have Pzero Nero's and they are absolutely beautiful under every condition.
