Quick Tire Help

I brought my X3 in today, and was told that I need new tires. The car came with the Pirelli Scorpion's and I have been pleased with them. I'm also intrigued with Tirerack's PZero Nero M&S Pinna tires. However, they don't have any reviews on the tire. Does anyone have a preference for either tire? I live in Chicago, so the tire would have to put up with the seasonal changes, which the Scorpion has done quite well with. The only reason I am put off my the PZero's are the seemigly too good to be true price of 80 bucks a tire, and the lack of reviews.

Thanks for the quick help.

For my 2 cents worth, if you've had a set of tires you're happy with, I'd stick with them. My CPO 2004 X3 came with a brand new set of Bridgestone Tourenzas. Within the year, 15,000 miles or less, they were badly cupped and produced almost unbearable road noise. So I'm in search of something better. For now, I'm trying some General Altimax HP's. The reviews on Tire Rack were good. We'll see. In Chicago, you might also try tiredealsforless.com. Tire Rack was out of the Generals when I wanted them but these guys (I think they're in Elmhurst) delivered my set the next day. Good luck.

I live in Chicago and have the Scorpions on my X3 and they work good for me in the snow as well. For the price I don't see a reason to change myself unless you have experience with another tread.
