Pirelli P Zero AS+ 3
Replaces the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus
A premium UHP all-season that feels unusually quiet and polished, while still delivering sharp, confidence-inspiring dry and wet handling. Its main trade-offs are limited winter (snow/ice) ability and a typically premium price tag.

I’m replacing the tires on my 330e and am finding it challenging picking between these Pirellis and the Michelin PS4AS, especially since there’s a pretty decent price gap; the Michelins are currently ~$70/tire more. I live in Vancouver, Canada, so it’s pretty rainy from mid October to mid May, with a few snow days, but generally nice summers. I’d like something fun that can handle a mostly 5°C and wet winter and still get me around town if it happens to snow. I’d appreciate your advice; thanks! Show less
Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 6 reviews
Owners rate the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 very highly overall, most consistently praising its refinement: around two-thirds mention very low road noise and about half highlight a smooth, well-damped ride. A smaller but clear group also reports confident, stable handling, with some noting predictable behavior when pushed and good resistance to aquaplaning. The only recurring downside is isolated feedback from around one in six owners about reduced dry grip in very cold conditions.

Tires are excellent. The car drives great on them...The car came with Pirrilis and when I needed new ones I bought these. And I will replace them with another set exactly like these.

My priorities were quiet tires, that were predictable and consistent across dry and wet conditions in spring, summer, and fall. I've found the Pirellis to be stable and consistent in the dry and wet, and I've never experienced any aquaplaning at highway speeds (up to 110 kph). I drive sedately, so I can't comment on limit handling behavior.
Compared to the stock Yokohama tires that were on the Subaru Outback from factory, the Pirellis were more quiet, and provided a far more stable base for the car under braking and turning. The stability meant that I could apply throttle more smoothly through corners rather than waiting for the car to settle first. The stock tires felt "squishy" under-load where the Pirellis feels solid.
These tires are not used in snow and ice. The lowest ambient temperatures they experienced was around 3C at highway speeds, and I did not notice a substantial change in how the tires responded to acceleration, braking, or turning.
The best compliment that I can offer these tires is that ever since I've put them on my vehicle, I've rarely thought about them, and I haven't reconsidered my purchase decision.

Uniformity - On first install, two showed high roadforce over 30lbs, even with match mounting. They were replaced by the tire dealer and the replacements spun well. Highest tire had 8lbs of roadforce and none needed more than 1.5oz of total correction weight, even with smartweight turned off and performance mode enabled. Excellent excellent uniformity.
Overall Driving Experience - These have exceeded my expectations and then some. Due to the great uniformity, forcematching, and a good balance, the car feels like it isn't even moving on fresh pavement, if you take out the wind noise. The steering wheel felt eerily void of any vibration. On fresh pavement, there's zero tred noise. On older/rougher pavement, theres certainly noise but its a low, diffuse grumble that very easily becomes unnoticeable. Impacts are muffled with zero resonance, while generally smoothing them out, atleast as good as you can expect from a performance tire. Stuffing them into a corner, they do communicate what they're doing. Slip is progressive and predictable. They're not squirrely on-center and allow for a very relaxing highway cruise with minimal to no micro-corrections, but once you start to point them where you want to go, they do so eagerly and with no fuss right up to the limit. These really do give the best of both worlds. Smooth, drama-free driving around town and on the highway, but they will absolutely dance on a back country road and put a smile on your face.
Almost 15k miles on this set and they show no obvious signs of wear. Feeling the tred before rotations, they seem to exhibit a near un-noticeable amount of heel-toe wear across the sipes/tred blocks. Their ride quality, acoustics, and performance seem to have remain unchanged. At the current wear rate, they will likely meet their warranty mileage. Side note, I got near 100k miles on a set of the old P-Zero All Season Plus on a previous car. Astonishing tire line, as long as they're a replacement tire with a warranty.
