Pirelli P Zero
255-35-20- Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon
1,000 miles June 29, 2024
Previously had Bridgestone run-flat tires. Very hard ride with the 255/35/20 tire's.
Fitted four new Pirelli P Zero and what a huge difference!
So much quieter and softer ride. psi was the same as the Bridgestone tires, but obviously the ridged walls of the run-flat tires affects both the noise and the smoothness of the ride.
I will not be buying run-flat tires again; not only that, but I had considerable difficulty in finding a place where they could repair a puncture.
P Zero from now on!
Smooth, quiet and reasonable price for a premium tire manufacturer.
I expect around 50,000miles from the P-Zero tire's, had them before the Bridgestone's , but was unaware of the outrageous hard ride and unacceptable noise before I purchased them.
Well, I've rambled on enough, Pirelli's for me, they're quiet you see. They glide around town, they deserve a crown
Bought these thinking they were just gonna be a sporty upgrade, but turned out to be SO comfortable for bumps and highway driving too
Nice tires overall, although quite expensive.
Pretty disconnected steering feel and soft sidewall.
Good rim protection because of huge sidewall.
Wet Performance decent with very high Aquaplaning resistance.
Get smeery If the Temperaturen rise.
OK wear
Nett ones will probably be Goodyear Efficentgrip Performance.
2.
All in all good tire for average drivers but expensive
I dont think there are many better tires than these in the wet! Dry performance suffers a bit though. Feedback and comfort are ok. Would buy again, not bad in the snow
Good grip and tire wear, however huge tire roar over 60mph. This coupled with a poor road surface can made long journeys a pain.

Accelera PHI

8,000 miles September 29, 2020
Had these in when bought the car.
A Cheap tire no grip esp in wet , personal dangerous.
Not the quietest tire on Road noise.
Would go for a better quality tire
I bought the tires with the car. I've always driven my cars with mid-priced tires. These were the worst experience ever. The tires were almost new, good performance in the first few hundred miles. But then the first wet roads, I almost hit a fence, just making a turn that I can even do on ice with my other car. Foggy weather, wet roads today, extremely bad performance, long braking, slipping in curves. I've decided to change the tires asap. Dry and snow was not so bad, but I had more problems starting than before.
Only had these tires 2 hours when I realised I had made the best choice of tires ever.
Comfort miles better than the Bridgestone and Dunlop tires I had on the car before.
I have now had the tires on the car for 2 weeks and can easily say that now it's a pleasure to cross a road hump without thinking the wheels are falling of the car or the suspension has seen their last days.
I can go into a curve in a roundabout with 50 miles per hour and feel absolutely safe while at the same time feeling how the tires bite into the tarmac.
Wet drive is also noticeable better with much better breaking distance.
Just the best tire ever!

Firenza ST22

Generally meant to be a performance tire, has delivered good dry and wet grip thus far, wear rate is also rather good based on current 10000km usage. Good value for money tires

Nokian Line SUV
215-65-18-V Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon
40,000 miles January 1, 2019
Volvo XC70 AWD better and quieter than Pirelli Scorpians they replaced. Car is heavy with high center of gravity but these tires make high speed driving safe and the braking distance is improved noticeably. Liked them so much bought a set of Nokian Winter tires. Hence summer tires have lasted four seasons and still have a couple of thousand miles in them. Chech pressure regularly and rotate tires front to back. These have proved quiet on good surfaces and returned great mpg and comfort. They are cheaper than many comparable makes. The winter tires are fantastic too.
