Help: Pirelli P-Zero Nero or General Exclaim UHP 245/45/18

So, I have a set of 18" AT Italia wheels with General Exclaim UHP tires with 6000 miles on them. I ran this combo all summer.
I then purchased a new set of wheels, Enkei, also 18" with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires. These have about 2000 miles on them. Should I swap the Pirellis for the Generals before selling the AT wheels/tires? Opinions/thoughts would be appreciated.
The Generals should last longer but the Pirellis probably rate higher. Thanks for all opinions.

I'm thinkin' the same. I just wanted to see if anyone had a compelling argument the other way. It would have to be very compelling since I'd have to remount 8 tires/rims.

the generals are a fantastic tire, regardless of price.

I have had P Zeros in the past, and I'll never buy them again. It is like a status tire, but not a very good perfromance tire...compared to others on the market.

Keep the Generals. Pirelli's are waaaaaaaay over rated, and much much too expensive.

Ouch! Now I have something to think about. The cost to switch the 8 tires from rim to rim and balance will be about $200. I think I'll go with the Pirellis and then get another set of Generals when they wear out.
