I agree the PZero will be the best choice for dry weather if you need a quiet tyre. Other than that, a semislick will be miles better, but noisy from 100 - 120 kmh on.

 

I was onces given Bridgestone 540 GS (the soft ones) which only last me 2000 kms, but they were not new, but almost new. For road use, I would get the hardest compound, ie. the S compound or Yokohama A032R H compound (H=Hard). MAXI drove 5000 fast road kilometers with them, and around 7000 - 8000 km with PZeros. So it is even worth it economically to get them IMHO: you get around 30% less out of them but they grip say 30 - 50% better (that's at least what it feels like). And cost is very similar, around 200 - 250 USD a piece.

I was a little worried about how bad they could be on wet tarmac, but MAXI took my worries away when he braked very hard from 120 km/h DOWNHILL (that long"straight" between Ste Devote and the Casino, part of the Monaco GP circuit). The tyres locked for half a second between 40 and 30 kmh, just before stopping, but have the same if not more grip on wet tarmac as street tyres. However, if it pours down and there is standing water on the road, expect less grip. But that almost never happens here, so we can do perfectly with A032Rs
