Writing about the
Pirelli P Zero Runflat given
54% (245-35-20-)
Driving on
mostly motorways for 11200
average miles
Have been driving my car for 3 years and this is the first tire change. The W213 E300 AMG line is factory fitted with 245/35/R20 in the front and 275/30/R20 at the back. These combination is probably not the best fit for a luxury sedan model as the large wheels on runflats give poor comfort. You literally can feel the grits, bumps and the ruts on the roads. It is not noisy though but just not comfortable ride. In terms of road grip in dry and wet is acceptable, except that the car tends to understeer a bit in tight corners. The car comes with adapative suspension and therefore I can feel the compensation as it happens. My biggest issue is its wear rate. Coupled by the thin side walls that tend to tear and buckle, Pirelli P Zero is just not hardy for use in this cars. More so considering that I am a reasonable drive and not one who does not drive his car to its limit. In fact, for a mere 11,000 miles, the tires have worn out its treads so quickly than any other comparable cars I have owned before. I have recently changed the tires with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmertric 3 and the feeling is very contrasting. The ride is smoother, slightly quieter but a lot more comfortable, and the grip is acceptable. The wet grip is better than the Pirelli's I had. It is slightly more expensive though but is worth the money. Not sure on the long run but will comment further when have had enough experience with them.
