I had the Pirelli Scorpion Asym Zero previously and have to agree that they are an excellent all-seasons tire. I love the broad aggressive shoulders of those tires. The only downside is their wear...mine only lasted 20k miles I did noticed some flat spotting on occasions (feels like the tires are out of balance), but goes away after a few miles as they warm up...and I live in Southern Cal, where it hardly ever goes below 50F. My tires are definitely not under inflated - 33psi Front and Rear. I even tried running them at 35psi a few weeks to see if it would solved the problem, which it didn't. I'm currently on the Latitudes (only about 3k miles), which have a narrower contact patch...translating into lower rolling resistance. I'll just have to see how long these Michelin last. Performance and look wise, I definitely preferred the Pirelli over the Michelin (the Michelin are screaming over corners where previously the Pirelli had stayed quiet).
