Do you guys have any experience with those tires compared to the ASX?
no experience with the nero's but that's what i wanted too. i bought the ASX's because i've read & been told that the nero's aren't that good in the snow (which is what i need) & that they don't seem to last very long. so the cheaper, ASX's looked the best for me.

i DON'T believe all the ratings on tirerack. the best example i can think of is the Avon's that are #2 rated on tirerack for the snow...THEY HAVEN'T BEEN OUT LONG ENOUGH FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW...SO HOW CAN THEY BE #2 RATED IN THE SNOW!!! yes, i also realize that none of the UHPAS tires are going to be great in the snow...but some of this is just common sense...

anyway, if you don't drive in the snow, i'd buy the nero's...
