Really good tires, never had any problems not even a puncture. Went on holiday for 6 weeks once and tire pressures were the same as when I left. They were slightly noisy on the road but that depends on the road surface you're driving on as well. Overall they are good tires.

thick sides protect your rims. Quiet one

These were factory-fitted to my Jaguar XF. From the outset, they suffered from tramlining, otherwise they were unexceptional in every respect. They lasted around 12000 miles, mainly motorway driving, at which point I was glad to replace them with Dunlop SP Sport 01s. A disappointing tire.

They are black, they are rubber, they keep the rims off the road. They break traction earlier than previous Continental or Michelin types. The best feature they offer is that they seem to wear out quickly so will be gone soon. Pilot Super Sports or something more interesting I think.

Had a full set of these fitted and instantly noticed increased understeer (it even felt as if the sidewall was bending under lateral forces).The fronts lasted only 4000 miles before they were right down to the treadwear indicator! The rears however have lasted much longer ( the Golf being front wheel drive),however,after taking the car in for the 40,000 mile service , I had mentioned to my mechanic about a possible rear wheel bearing issue only to be told that the inner shoulders of both tires are ridged (think a beer bottle top)! The rears I should mention have done approx 15,000 miles , but even so for a flagship tire I found this unacceptable,not to mention cracking on the shoulder and in the grooves.Cant wait to get them off and fit Goodyear Eagle assym 2s to match the front.If you are looking for a premium brand...look elsewhere.

i had a hard time finding the Pirelli P-Zero , everyone i tried kept getting in P-zero rosso or P-zero nero , but i was adament that i want the just Pirelli P-Zero , after reading all the good test results i was expecting a good tire and boy did it deliver , the precision of this tire is mind boggling , it gives such a good feel through the steering and the grip is just immense , it rides very well for a Max performance tire and is far more comfortable and quieter than the Goodyear Eagle F-1 Asymmetrics i had previously , all in all a truely excellent tire , and belongs in a different league to the p-zero rosso and nero , which are mediocre in comparison

Overall grippy tire, but seem to be noisy (though getting near end of life)and fuel consumption not good - I'm only getting 50 mpg but with Avon ZZ3's I was getting 55 mpg.

Loads on grip in normal road conditions although in cold weather they seem to loose a fair bit of this grip (in fact they're rubbish in winter). They definitely do a good job of putting my 210BHP to the road but for the price (£230/tire) I expected perhaps a little more. I have had other tires previously that offer almost as much grip for a much smaller price tag.
Excellent tires (excluding winter) but a little too expensive

A very good tire in the dry, not so good in the wet. Hopeless on snow, so don't even try. It perfoms very good on highways, not so good on country roads. I live on the Norwegian west coast and get a lot of rain and the roads are not that good, so I would look to buy a tire with better wet performance.
