I know PNG had bad experience with his Pirelli Scorpion Zero, however that tread design and style does not exist anymore.

Currently, the Pirelli has a Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico which has a different, quieter design. If rain is a problem, the Diamaris hydroplane too easily. The Pirelli has less problem with hydroplaning and actually no tramlining issue like I had with the Diamaris.

If you get light snow, then Scorpion Zero Asimetrico has one advantage of being a M+S tire and I had no problems with driving through 1.5 feet of fresh snow with these tires. As a rain tire it has been excellent. In the dry, it stick pretty well. x5Monkey has been impressed with the new Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico.

Also, you have to remember, PNG is a desert rat so his opinions are based on hot, dry weather conditions.

That in mind, I was wondering if you guys had some advice on what the best (SUMMER) tire the market has to offer these days. Something with incredible grip and solid stability and GOOD speeds.

I'm looking for 2 options:

1. Cost not an issue...best tire possible
2. Best Bang for the buck

Any comments much appreciated
