Pirelli P Zero PZ5 Reviews - Page 2
Given 100%
while driving a
Kia Motors Pro ceed
(225/40 R18)
on mostly country roads
for 300 spirited miles
This is probably the first review anywhere as these tires are brand new and just came out on the EU market. I bought the PZ5s completely blind so I wanted to provide some preliminary opinions for others.
In the dry these have loads of grip. Their overall feel is very sporty and firm. There is a nice degree of stiffness that makes turning on winding roads really fun. They feel safe and stable - there is no significant tendency to oversteer or understeer and predictability is good. I like the balance. At the limit, on the border of understeer, these bite-in nicely and tighten the trajectory. On bumps and uneven surfaces the PZ5s feel solid and impeccably comfortable.
I like their overall feel, responsiveness, comfort, sportiness and stability much more than the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires I had previously. The launching traction provided by the Pirellis is also miles better than that of the Michelin set. This is very important in a 204HP FWD car.
I can't say anything about wear or wet performance yet, as we've had a very sunny and dry early spring this year and I haven't covered enough distance on these tires thus far.
