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.
