Pirelli P Zero Reviews - Page 2

Given 31% while driving a Jaguar F Type (295/30 R20) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles
Absolute rubber garbage, a safety risk even in the slightest wetness.
Only recommended in absolutely dry conditions and when outside temperatures are above 20 degrees Celsius.

Bought new Pirelli P Zero tires. During balancing, it was already apparent that there was severe radial and lateral runout. The mechanic attempted to improve the result by "matching" the tires, but unfortunately, to no avail. Strong vibrations occur when driving at speeds above 75 km/h (47 mph), which don't subside even at speeds above 200 km/h (124 mph).
The tires are absolute junk, even over two years old. Probably a defective product or a warehouse error, entirely at the customer's expense. My rims are new, as they were a new car. The old tires only had one flat, so I got new ones.
Pirelli is unwilling to accommodate. The sales representative is unable to provide clarification.
Evidence is being secured + a lawyer is being hired.

Not a patch on the cross climate

Given 80% while driving a Audi RS6 Performance (285/30 R22) on mostly motorways for 3,100 spirited miles
Got the car on 0 and now currently sits at 5k km and driving quite aggressive in and corners and would take turns at 140km/h
but for some reason people are getting better 0/100 on sports contact7 than me as I was averaging 3.4-3.6 on ideal conditions whilte others were getting as low as 3.0
and P zeros tend to slip a lot in semi rainy conditions when pushed
comfort was amazing considering the car as cruising at around 180 and with decent turning opportunity
one thing though is that they do not react nicely when they are heated up with common sliding occurring when tire temps reach 50C
(still not track tested)

Given 55% while driving a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (275/35 R21) on a combination of roads for 1,700 average miles
These come as standard on the Ioniq 5 N and I'm not that impressed with them to be honest. Had the car a couple of months and to be fair this is throughout the winter so I cant really comment on warmer temperatures but them seem pretty average especially in the wet and cold. Grip is not very inspiring in the wet and I've had better (summer) tyres on other cars in the same temperatures and time of the year..

I hope they wear down quick so I can get them changed and as the lease company are paying, I'll be trying to insist on Conti's or Michelin's as replacements. In the meantime, I'll put up with them.

Given 59% while driving a Hyundai 2011 Santa Fe CM 4x4 (235/40 R19) on for 6,000 average miles
Unacceptable wear with even gentle city driving. 10000km and down to 2mm on front and 4mm on rear. Worst I have ever se n

Given 37% while driving a BMW 330 Msport (265/30 R20) on mostly town for 20 easy going miles
Crap tyre. Shocking in the wet. Even in the dry they spin. What a waste of money. Michelin destroyed them. No comparison at all. I hate to think if I was in a hurry and it’s raining.

Given 10% while driving a Mercedes Benz SLK 350 (225/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 6,000 easy going miles
Crappy tires do not buy, experienced side wall issues on 3 out of 4, similar to Firestone, dangerous tires with huge safety concerns only 10,000 kms on tires

Given 86% while driving a Volvo 2.0 T5 Saloon (255/35 R20) on mostly motorways for 1,000 average miles
Previously had Bridgestone run-flat tyres. Very hard ride with the 255/35/20 tyre'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 tyres, but obviously the ridged walls of the run-flat tyres affects both the noise and the smoothness of the ride.
I will not be buying run-flat tyres 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 tyre manufacturer.
I expect around 50,000miles from the P-Zero tyre'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

Given 50% while driving a Hyundai Kona N (235/45 R19) on a combination of roads for 400 average miles
Unfortunately, the factory equipped tires on my 2022 Hyundai Kona N were Pirelli P-Zeros. All the Kona N's were equipped with these high-performance tires, a poor choice by Hyundai. These tires seem to be made with a very poor compound, as they mine were in this condition after the car sat a half year on the dealer's lot: Hyundai Canada won't warranty them, as they say it is a tire manufacturer issue, and the consumer needs to contact Pirelli directly, whom I have heard is very difficult to deal with. I ended up selling the car shortly after. It's disgraceful that Pirelli would put out a product like this.

As far as ride is concerned, they do grip extremely well, but only in warm (+15C and above) temperatures. Anything close to freezing temperature or below, and they basically become like hockey pucks. Don't even THINK about driving on snow with these tires! In hot weather, they are sticky. They will pick up every bit of dirt and sand and fling it against the sides and underside of your car, so consistent use on gravel is not a good idea. Also, they are fairly loud and communicate a dull roar to the passenger cabin.

In summary, I would not purchase these tires again, no way.

Given 57% while driving a BMW X1 2.0 Xdrive (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 17,000 average miles
On my BMW X1 the front set lasted 17,000 miles compared with 24,000 miles for previous Michelins and 25,000 on original Bridgestones. Not impressive. Good grip and fairly quiet but not worth the money. Now trying Goodyear Efficient Grip

Hyundai i20N (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 7,500 average miles
Front tyres only lasted 7500m before needing replacing, shocking
