Pirelli P Zero All Season+

The P Zero AS+2 feels like a summer performance tire that happens to be prepared for sub-optimal conditions. It has a clear priority on precise steering and predictability in conditions ranging from dry to snow. The balance is remarkably consistent in dry, wet, and snow conditions providing great confidence in varied conditions. This was demonstrated for me at a Road America winter autocross where condition started with snow covered courses, but melted off to fully wet then partially dry conditions. I was able to quickly adapt to the changing conditions and find grip on all these surfaces, while enjoying the adjustability this tire allows. As a performance tire I prefer this to my previous Continental ECS summer tires and their adaptability to varied conditions is just a bonus. My only criticism of the P Zero AS+2 as a performance tire is the steering feel is not as crisp as the stock Michelin Primacy HP tires on the BRZ, but it comes closer than several higher performance summer tires.

Snow grip is manageable. I would not recommend the P0AS+2 for severe winter conditions, but it's a good choice for mild winter climates and trips where snow is a possibility.

The comfort and noise characteristics of this tire match its sporty character. It feels stiff initially but recovers well from impacts and works well with the suspension tuning of the BRZ. Noise levels are fairly high but its a broad background noise and is not annoying. Straight line tracking and stability are excellent, which helps make this a relaxing tire for long highway trips.

I have minimal wear after 8400 miles with some spirited driving included and expect to get about 35k miles from these tires.
