I work in a tyre shop and sell a few Pirelli tyres, bought some for my s max and they are phenomenal, had them on 3 month so far and can’t fault them, wet grip is almost as good as Bridgestones road noise has reduced a lot, will buy again

Bought a used Golf with Powergy's on all 4 corners. 1st impressions were they were quite grippy but roadnoise is really quite loud. Wet grip is decent but not outstanding. Overall I wouldn't buy again especially as these are a fairly high price

I can say that those tyres are my first Pirelli's ever and after aprox 23K miles it's time for a change. I still have some tread on them but Ford Mondeo and Pirelli I don't think it's the best combination, especially the 235/19 ones, the MPG is not that great, well actually there are a lot of things to consider.
Overall, compared with the previous ones Continental 6 those ones were much better and probably I would buy them again.

After two seasons and around 10k km with moderate driving rear tyres were left with 6mm.

The first thing I noticed on these tyres was the lack of tread depth when new, used as summer tyres they have been used for 2 seasons approx 18,000 miles and are now very close to the wear bars so will likely only get 20k out of them.
They have been good for grip in wet and dry although more recently have felt more unsettled in standing water as the tread has gone down, noisier than my winter tyres but perhaps this is to be expected and fuel economy not quite so good as my previous summer tyres.
If they were cheaper I would consider again, but given the low tread and the price bracket they sit in I will be looking elsewhere for replacements.

A great tyre if you want to do drifting. I never feel in control with these tyres.
The worst Pirelli tyres I have ever bought. Never again.

After 1 year and 12,000 km, I judge the wear to be average. It should be emphasized that the noise level is absolutely low, the quietest tire for 30 years. The rolling resistance should also be low, since fuel consumption fell by around 0.4 l per 100 km. The only point that could be improved is the slightly soft flanks, which give the car a comfortable touch, but the feedback to the driver leaves a lot to be desired.

Nothing special with these tyres.is in the average at all but the wear is very easygoing. Lasted only 25.000 km in a family car

Changed to pirelli powergy from conti uc6. Tried to get pirelli p7c2 but it was out of stock and the dealer recommended these. Driven 2500km so far. Grip has increased a bit though that might be due to the tyre being 10mm wider than the 215 uc6. Comfort is good, noise is low but steering feels a bit heavy. Grip in wet and dry both excellent. Low noise as well. Quiet at high speed (>130km/h) So far so good.

Didn't really live up to the hype. Loads of wheelspin in my 2.0TFSI Q3, not confidence inspiring in the wet either, and no feel. Considering the Q3 is quattro that says a lot. Highly disapointed.
Thankfully just traded in the Q3 for an A6 Avant that comes with my favourite tires, Potenza RE003 Bridgestones.
