I thought this car would lunch front tires. I really did. 290hp through the front axle couldn't be sensible. 24,000 miles later the P-Zeros still have 1mm of tread spare. I haven't checked the rears yet but they were at 6mm after 17,000 miles.

I've maybe done 65% motorway driving and 35% country roads in what is always a heavily loaded daily driver and for me the Pirellis have always felt secure, maybe not as responsive or sharp in feedback, but a really solid drive. They do suffer in the wet but again no more than most. The feeling of grip didn't diminish until the last 20% of driving, but I have noticed a serious drop in grip since clearing 20,000 miles, so that's something to watch out for. I have also noticed a train-track effect in the last 4,000 miles too.

Sadly the main strength of these tires seems to also be their main weakness. They are so hard and and so loud to drive on. Admittedly 19 inch rims always suffer for ride, but these tires seem exceptionally hard. Road noise is a real terror. I think this may also hurt the ability to put the power down, as they feel so stiff. Bearing in mind getting off the line is the Achilles heel of a FWD car, I would really want the tire to help the car set off smoother.

Reading other people's reviews, it looks like you can solve the noise problem by going for Goodyear E1A3s, or you can solve the off-the-line issue by going to PS4s or PSSs. However, I haven't seen any reviews that have got the kind of mileage I've had with the P-Zeros.

On balance that's also a budget argument; E1A3s are cheaper and quieter but you may get through them quicker, P-Zeros are more hard wearing but more expensive and loud, PSSs and PS4s are the ultimate for performance but you're going to pay through the nose.

Personally with the amount of motorway miles I do I'm probably going to go for the E1A3s. It's the sensible move.

Now how do I tell my wife I've spent £340 on a pair of Michelin Super Sports? XD

bought the tires as recommended for audi AO, excellent grip in the dry . good grip in the wet once tires have warmed up. when they are cold easily spin on acceleration .... bit of road noise but not too bad , most disappointing was wear..looking to replace now down to 3mm after approx 10k miles mainly motorway driving ....unsure if going with p zero

The tires have too much grip and follow every track in the road. Sometimes they suddenly pull the car left or right. Which results in a slightly nervous ride..vs the continental tires that I had before. So overall not very comfortable and the wear and tear (2 years) seems quicker as well probably because of the grip...

Fitted to Mustang from factory, absolutely awful tire unless it’s a really hot day. In the wet they just don’t grip at all, even on a moderately damp road they break traction without even trying. Couldn’t wait to get rid of them, pulled off the car at 9000 mile and they have 5mm left so wear rate is pretty good.

These P-Zero N1’s came with the car. Dry handling is excellent. Unfortunately grip in any other conditions is just terrible. I have 3mm left on the rears yet even in light rain they just don’t grip. Traction control light flashing like mad on mild acceleration, the back slides out all over the place, thankfully the Porsche run an experience day at Silverstone which teaches you all about handling the car safely, not something I had planned to use quite so frequently. Anyway replacement tires now ordered I will not be going back to Pirelli.

If you are looking for performance on an SUV that’s the right tire
Tread wear and comfort are not my priorities

Got a great deal on a full set of these tires after the factory fit Conti contact 5's had done there best. So far i'm very happy with them,not as quiet as the contact 5's but not bad enough to give them a lower score,Dry roads are a breeze but i have noticed they can get a wee twitchy on damp to wet Scottish Highland roads,but there again i'm not hanging around and giving the car some Timpson,,But ,, I'm very happy with them and they are wearing better than the Contact 5's the car came with when new.I will more than likely have these fitted again as ive had no underware changing moments with them like with the Conti's

Lasted well on Mini Paceman 28,000 miles! These were run flats and started to tram line. Replaced with non runflats, much better

Great tires in the dry, easy to break loose in the wet with moderate acceleration. They are needing to be replaced at 13,000km (8,125 miles) which in my books is about half what I expected. I usually get between 25,000 with soft compound up to 40,000km. At the price of Pirelli Zeros will not be getting them again. Disappointing

Achieved 10k miles legally. In all but the most extreme acceleration these tires handled the power of my E63s. Handling is fantastic, wet grip hard to fault especially when car is balanced and not provoked. Not noisy enough to spoil the sound of the engine :-)

The car came with Michelin Primacy 3 wich i threw away immediately. These set of Pirelli's are the new generation PZ4 and are marked as Ls which means Luxury Saloon. They also have Seal Inside technology. To be honest i have expected much more performance from these tires. I am largely dissapointed in dry weather at around 15 Celsius which we had for the last week i've had them. Didn't try them in the wet yet, the tests claim they are strong in wet cornering... As for the limit of the tire there is a good enough indication on when you are driving on the edge but saddly the limit comes so early...i regret not going for the michelin pilot sport 4! I will do a more complete review when i try them in wet and more hot weather.

Needless to read comments when 99% of owners of new tires compare you feel with them new to those old barely removed from the car, obviously the new ones are just as quiet and comfortable as were the old ones many years ago but do not remember and it's normal. anything new is pleasant even more as if it cost less and expectations are balanced.
