Excellent tires all around. I was using Bridgestone Potenza RE003’s before this and over all, these are much better, quieter and feels safer. Tread wear has been great compared to the Bridgestone’s I had.

The tires feel very good on dry asphalt, the feedback is good in corners and they are comfortable and silent. On wet roads, I never felt unsafe riding a little faster than the other drivers around me. I cannot tell exactly how much they wore, but visually there's not much difference since when I bought them. Compared to the Continental ContiSport Contact5 (DOT 2016, around 30k km and they were already gone!), these are much better at handling, comfort and noise. Overall very happy with the purchase

Passed 2000 km on the tires. Are more comfortable in comparison to Bridgestone i had. I drove in heavy rain and I have not realized any aquaplaning.

The loudest tires ever bought in 30 years... I went back to seller who recommended brand and model, he replied is road's fault... Now after just 2000km I am looking forward to wear them out, as these tires turned a very very quiet car (reason why I bough it) in a rumble of madness on the motorway where grainy asphalt is used for draining water... let me reiterate: the loudest tires ever bought in 30 years !! I am italian and was happy to buy an italian product... after this experience... no more Pirelli... EVER ! There are so many good brands out there. Pirelli if you read this review, I am available to sell back these tires to you immediately. A very unhappy customer.

Skoda (225/45 R17)

for 4,500 spirited miles
Excellent grip in both dry and wet, acceptable road feedback, predictible when taken to the limit. Given the low mileage it's a bit early to predict the wear behaviour... however, seems ok so far. They are very, very quiet and provide good comfort.

I measured the tread depth when new as I thought they looked a little shallow - 6.6mm ! Have now done just over 6000 miles on these and already down to 5mm on fronts and 5.5mm on rears ? At this wear rate I will be lucky to get to 18000 miles at min of 1.6mm tread. If I replace these at 3mm depth they will have only just over 12000 miles since new ! Highly dissapointed at the rare of wear, my previous Avon zv7s came with 8mm tread when new and still had around 3mm left when I replaced them at 23000 miles. So when the Pirellis are worn out its going to be back to the Avon's for me !

Good tires, haven't had long so have not filled in ware score. Good in wet and dry conditions, however, did notice a drop in MPG. Used to get 54mpg on my old tires and now lucky to get 47MPG and that's only with these tires fitted to the front. Don't know if it would drop further with the back two replaced as well but will see.
