Had 2 sets of Pirelli P0 tires on my Audi S7. Tread wear is very high. Only managed 15,000 miles for each set with regular ("non-spirited") driving. Dry grip is impressive but they are very hard, uncomfortable tires. Also after 10,000 miles on the second set I've literally had pieces of rubber (3" x 0.5" x 0.25" thick) detaching from the tire walls on 3 out of 4 tires. Pirelli totally ignored my attempts to discuss warranty issues. I really can't recommend these Pirelli tires. Moving on, I've just ordered a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 plus as my next tires. I'll let you know what I think.
