The Pirelli P Zero Nero GT is a performance summer tyre whose clearest owner-rated strength is dry grip. Wet grip and steering feel attract more criticism, while comfort, noise and tread life receive mixed feedback.
The Pirelli P Zero Nero GT earns its strongest owner praise for dry grip, with 16 positive comments against three criticisms among 33 people. Comfort and noise are also more often praised than criticised, six to three in each case, although most owners do not discuss either aspect. These reports suggest some appeal for dry-road use, but the overall 61.9% average score reflects a much less consistent experience than the strongest dry-grip comments alone imply.
Wet grip is the main concern, criticised by around three in ten owners against four positive accounts. Roughly one in five criticise steering feel, and one in six report vibration. Those are minority experiences, but they recur often enough to temper the performance-tyre appeal. Tread life is closely divided, with five positive and six negative accounts, so a dependable wear expectation is difficult to set. This description rests on owner experience alone: without independent tests, the size of the wet-grip or steering compromise relative to rivals remains uncertain.

Had those for two years and almost 5000km fitted to my BMW e90 330i. I would say they fit the cars sporty character well. Dry weather handling and grip is fantastic but have not driven them in wet conditions. Not particularly comfortable so when the time comes for replacement I will try the Pirelli pz5
Excellent performance tyre, at all criteria. Dry grip progressive, wet grip, very good braking, wear, good handling, the only negative is comfort, itw average. Highly recommended!

Absolutely lethal on wet or damp roads. Mine left go exiting a roundabout. Was applying a good bit of power but not anything like the reaction I got. Almost did a full 360. Not an aggressive driver. Not 20 years old either. Years of experience in powerful cars. 50+. They are being removed from my Boxster S tomorrow. Replaced with Michelin instead. Did a road trip in November put up 4756km travelling from Roscoff to SAN Sebastian Spain on dry roads. No issues. Back in Ireland in damp or wet roads, lethal.

Impressed on the most part. The Jaguar is a heavy car and the Pirelli's have done well for the last 18 months. They grip very well in the dry, are comfortable and are not too noisy. My only complaints are that in the wet, the traction control light has flashed a few times when pulling away quickly and that even when fully pressurised, the sidewall always looks a little soft. They can feel a little numb in steering but then that's nothing new on the X-Type 2.2 diesel. They are wearing very well but this is more down to the hard-ish compound compared to Goodyear or Continental. I think when they are due for replacement, I will change for Goodyear Eagle F1 as I have used them on a previous X-Type and they suited the car well.
These tyres have been exceptionally poor value, worn to almost within legal limits after 15 months and less than 120000 miles when one had suffered a sidewall failure. Grip has been “ok” in the dry and almost dangerous in the wet, although they were relatively quite and ride quality seemed ok compared to the tyres they replaced however the lack of grip, vague feel and extremely poor wear mean I wouldn’t consider buying them again.
I am much happier with the (similarly premium prices) tyres that have replaced these.
Black, round and rubbery. Perfect! Your average man on the road can not review or score a tyre. Lewis Hamilton wannabe's can't really drive and they certainly don't have the equipment to measure "how good" a tyre is..
Very resistant to shocks from the road but if the car isnt't driven every day the tyres get a square form and need to be rebalanced. I have driven 25k km with these tyres and even from the start I had this problem.
i got the tyres on my megane RS250 cup it is tuned to nearly 300hp.The wear of the tyre has gone 60% in 5k miles time. i got a lot ow wheel spins.For me really bad tyre. I was expecting a lot more of it. It is not track driven only road use. And the braking is really bad.
By far the worst tire i ever had.Dry grip is average for a performance tire that costs so much the side wall stiffness is somehow soft and twichy when there is load on turns but the worst part is the wet behavior of these not even average really slippy and loose even on lower speeds.Bad feedback also i lost and confidence i had with previous RE 050 potenzas..Wear is ok for 25.000-30.000 miles on average and noise is also for a 40 side wall tire..
I wouldnt recommend them and avoid them if u need a sport tire go elsewhere
Changed from a set of Michelin PS2's. The Pirellis are significantly quieter, the ride is a lot less choppy plus the steering has lightened up. The PS2's had a sharper turn in and a very precise feel to them. The Pirellis are not as aggressive or harsh, much more refined. Yet to try them in the rain. So far very impressed.
