From Pirelli. com. Pzero Nero M&S features
# Variable angle grooves ensure higher mechanical grip.
Translated - the various angled and curved shapes ensure and nice, tight fit.
# Innovation in compound improve grip on wet and dry conditions.
Translated - Wet or dry, you can be rest assured there will be no slippage.
# Longitudinal and lateral groove optimization minimize the risk of aquaplaning even when cornering.
Translated - Side to Side and Top to Bottom shape ensures that, even during the most unusual situations, overall wetness will not effect the performance.
# Optimized pitch sequence and a continuous circumferential element ensure a high driving acoustic comfort.
Translated - The roundness of each section will provide a more than satisfying sound experience.

Personal take based on autox experience:
Pirelli: Supple & firm, thought it looks like the "Village Bike" after you finish your run. Heat resistance threshold leaves a bad taste in the mouth, but it's silicone after all.
Kumho: One word, SCREAMER, if that is what flows your boat... Kum-ho-s are never known to be stiff when it comes time to perform.
