255/35 19 Tire Review Highlights
Pirelli P Zero PZ5 rated 97% while driving a BMW 2022 M240i XDrive

Driving on mostly country roads for 350 spirited miles
Purchased these tires off the back of Jonathan's YouTube review. Replaced a set of Pilot Sport 4S star marked tires.
Despite the overwhelmingly good review, I was still a little skeptical about getting some Pirelli tires. I'm glad I pushed through my prejudice and got them.
My god do they stick you to the road. Same corners, same speed with the PS4S the car would step out on me, even with traction control fully on. With the PZ5, not a hint of oversteer unless you turn off traction control and try to put down more power.
I haven't had much chance to try performance in the wet due to the dry weather we've been having in the UK, but I have no doubt it is excellent given Jonathan's review.
Steering responsiveness is a noticeable improvement from the Michelin's and they just overall feel a lot more predictable and has given me complete confidence in the car.
Only downside I have experienced is that fuel economy is about 5% worse on a long run, but that's a non-issue considering the performance.

Pirelli P Zero PZ5 rated 97% while driving a Audi B8.5 S4 Avant (modified)

Driving on a combination of roads for 2756 spirited miles
I’ve always bought Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (PS4S), on a track-spec BMW 335i and then on my Audi S4 Avant. I tried Continental SportContact7 (SC7), I was blown away by the difference vs PS4S; but only I got 6k miles out of them - the rear treads on 275/30ZR19 cracked and were at 3mm of tread, my front toe settings/suspension setup also caused inner tire balding. So I used PS4S on the S4, I managed 18k miles out of them but always felt they lacked feedback, ultimate grip and progressiveness. The PZ5 came out and after watching the review, I decided to try them.
The S4 is stage 1 tuned at 450BHP//550NM with a tastefully modified adaptive suspension (springs, bushings, roll bars and drivetrain inserts) - to test these tires, this review is based on a trip to North Wales and now recently back from the Swiss/Italian Alps, German Autobahns (including a top speed run) and finally the Nurburgring. The car was given hell in a variety of road conditions, albeit mostly hot, dry and twisty - though I was very impressed even in the cold, wet and very wet - they were still very sticky and better than PS4S without question, leagues ahead even (realistically not a even the real competition).
Now... these are better than SC7, they’re more progressive and the front and rear axles in my Sport Diff’ed Quattro really felt in synch, it was far more difficult to get the back to step out vs PS4S. These Pirellis overall offer more steering feedback, feel more responsive and also more agile when making inputs at any speed. They're slightly stickier but definitely more comfortable vs SC7. And, after a lap of the Nordschleife they were fine - the SC7 let go earlier for sure (tested in the Scottish Highlands & even more local spirited driving - at least 3000 miles of driving them at ten tenths to prove them).
After 2756 miles, the fronts are at 5.9mm and rears at 6mm - giving them a projected range of at least 11000 miles with this manner of driving and assumed higher rolling resistance due to higher temperatures abroad. I’d estimate greater longevity in the UK being daily driven with occasional spirited driving. Highly recommend this tire, definitely my go-to, Pirelli have gotten their act together and taken down the SC7 (I didn’t think this was possible) whilst also doubling the range?
Just a final thing to note - the PZ5 got better after a few hundred miles, they lost the softness and gained a sharpness when it came to the steering, I also felt they required less heat to feel like you were on rails. I am also directly comparing these most recently to PS4S which were worn down to 2mm which, at that tread depth, felt so much sharper vs when they were new.

I have waited until a new set of tires were fitted to my car before I wrote this review (Pilot Sport 5's) This gives me 15,000 miles + of experience with these tires which were fitted when I bought the car.
Good points:
The wear of these tires is actually decent, my car is heavy and powerful, I drive 50+ miles a day on a range of roads, country, town, A-roads etc, and the wear has been brilliant, albeit un-even. The sides wear very quickly with the centre 1/3 of tire being more or less untouched. I could have got another 5,000 - 10,000 miles out of these tires had I liked them.
That's where the good points end.
The dry grip is bang average, you'll begin to notice just how much grip these tires lack once you are put on a more demanding, twisty roads. These tires caused some serious understeer, and struggled to get around roundabouts without losing traction. You will find the limit of these tires very quickly even if you aren't a spirited driver. Ditch finders.
The grip falls of a cliff in the wet, these seem to shed no water at all. I have nearly aquaplaned several times in minimal standing water. Seriously shoddy.
The comfort is awful also, the road noise is terrible and the tires transmit tons of vibrations into the cabin, which isn't helped if you have large alloys.
It is difficult to mark the tire feedback as my car doesn't really give much steering feedback anyway, it's not a very dynamic car.
These tires are probably suitable for low-powered cars, or cars that aren't fussy about tire choice. Personally, you could not give these to me for free. Don't cheap out on brakes and tires.

The dry grip is bang average, you'll begin to notice just how much grip these tires lack once you are put on a more demanding, twisty roads. These tires caused some serious understeer, and struggled to get around roundabouts without losing traction. You will find the limit of these tires very quickly even if you aren't a spirited driver. Ditch finders.
The grip falls of a cliff in the wet, these seem to shed no water at all. I have nearly aquaplaned several times in minimal standing water. Seriously shoddy.
The comfort is awful also, the road noise is terrible and the tires transmit tons of vibrations into the cabin, which isn't helped if you have large alloys.
It is difficult to mark the tire feedback as my car doesn't really give much steering feedback anyway, it's not a very dynamic car.
These tires are probably suitable for low-powered cars, or cars that aren't fussy about tire choice. Personally, you could not give these to me for free. Don't cheap out on brakes and tires.

I replaced my Continental Sportcontact 7 with Pirelli P Zero PZ5s. The Continentals were very good in the dry and wet, the Pirellis are better.
I've had Goodyear Asymmetric 6, Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Falken Azenis 520.
But the Pirellis are very, very good.

They were good at first version.. now they are made very soft sidewalls and no more sporty driving or feedback it's more a tourism tire now.. spirited driving around canyons will last 3000km and sidewalls are gone even with 1.4 negative camber. 300km and 40% of sidewalls are already gone. Very disappointed they are not the same anymore they probably changed compound that's my 3rd set and only 1st set felt as the reviews said.

Previously my BMW 220i Coupe (G42) with M-Sport Pro Pack (19” upgraded alloys) was on OE Pirelli P Zero (*) from factory and were very good in all respects. Decided to go Michelin this time and very pleased with the decision as these OE PS4S are in another league. Dry grip, steering feel, cornering and overall driving experience is at another level and surpasses the P Zeros in every respect.
I cannot comment for wet handling yet as we are having some great sunshine in the UK and neither for wear, as only been on my car for x3 weeks. Overall, these tires have significantly improved the driving experience of my BMW and they are much more comfortable than the P Zeros on both motorways and local roads, especially over rougher roads. These tires are standard fitment on the M240i and they definitely provide a massive improvement on the 220i and same if you have the 230i, so would highly recommend getting these when you’re ready for replacement. 100% from me so far!

I use this on my W204 C63 and they are great. Love the thick sidewall and even though some websites say this is a summer tire, I think it handles great in the wet even on London roads. Very comfortable and in the dry they stick well. My car is pushing 520 horsepower to the rear wheels and these grip extremely well. A lot of consumers dont know that KORMORAN is a company owned my Michelin and are not some super budget company. I have been using kormoran on my C63 for the last 4 years and change rears about twice a year. For front tires I change them roughly once every 2 years.
All in all I would highly recommend these tires

Terrible tire. There is no steering feedback, anything over 60mph you're constantly correcting the steering to keep it in a straight line- i went and had a 4 wheel alignment to check it wasn't out. Tires still terrible.
The grip is also equally bad in wet and dry conditions. My car is breaking traction over taking on dual carridge ways and motorways. Pulling away isnt so bad but still not great.
Removed after 650 miles and taken a loss. Would rather fit acceleras

These tires are amazing, they combine road comfort and high performance. The sidewall is a little softer than I would like, but increasing tire pressure to 40 psi mostly negates this. The grip is incredible, so predictable and consistent, dry or wet, it just hooks onto the road and doesnt let go. The grip gets even better when the tires heat up. Car feels very stable under braking and hard acceleration. Definitely a good choice for a high performance car that doesnt really go on the race track much, great for normal roads. 10/10 would get a speeding ticket again.

Bought a TTRS with these tires on and I wasnt impressed. Not sure why would anyone put tires like these on a high performance car. Its fine in the drive and warm, but when it rains the car suddenly snaps and end up going sideways around the roundabout and traction control lights up even in 3rd gear. Taking these off and replacing them with Michelin PS this week

Bad under wet braking, had to do an emergency brake and the car veered to the side, never had that happen before. Do not feel confident in the wet with these. Dont buy, they were already fitted to my car when I got it.
