Awesome grip in wet as long the water isn´t high enough for aquaplaning. Very progressive in corners, the feedback is more than OK. Surprises don´t exist. OK, there exist better tyres if you driving in heavy rain, but if the street is only wet the P Zero is a very strong performer.

In dry the P Zero is also very fast, but the progressiveness could be better.

The week point is the temperature. Below 5° celsius the grip is noticeable poorer. The grip drops down and the tyre doesn´t give you the feedback where the limit is.

On my FWD the wear on drive axle will reach about 13000 miles, I guess. It´s not awesome but imho what you can expect from an UHP-tyre with my driveing profile.

Conclusion: The aquaplaning skills could be a bit better, the tyre should be better on lower temperatures. But overall it´s an good tyre if you want good grip in dry and wet.

I dunno how long the old version of P Zero will be available, so I don´t buy it again. The new P Zero PZ4 is available in some dimensions, I guess in near future also in 225/45R17

Needless to read comments when 99% of owners of new tires compare you feel with them new to those old barely removed from the car, obviously the new ones are just as quiet and comfortable as were the old ones many years ago but do not remember and it's normal. anything new is pleasant even more as if it cost less and expectations are balanced.

Achieved 10k miles legally. In all but the most extreme acceleration these tyres handled the power of my E63s. Handling is fantastic, wet grip hard to fault especially when car is balanced and not provoked. Not noisy enough to spoil the sound of the engine :-)

The tyres came with a brand new car I purchased 8 months ago, an Hyundai i20n. I'm sorry but they're diabolical. When coming out of my drive way or junctions if the road is even slightly damp, the don't grip at all and slip. After doing just over 7 thousand miles the front ones wore down to illegal levels. The rear wasn't as bad, but was getting near being illegal. At that amount of miles these tyres should never have worn down that much. I'm not the only one this has happened to. I don't drive like an idiot, I'm a careful lady driver with an advanced driving qualification. I have now changed them to Michelin PS5's which are a thousand times much better.

These tires have been great on my Hyundai I30N they have great feedback, did well on the odd track day, stop really well and pretty comfortable on the road, however in the wet I found them not as good and they have wore very quickly due to soft side wall. If they did not wear so fast I would probably buy them again.

I purchased 2 sets of these tires the 1st set managed to get about 16k miles and the 2nd set last about 4 months and 10k miles. I called perelli to see if they could help out with warranty and got told no. These tires is horrible and I will never buy another set of Pirellis ever!!!! If your looking for a good tire look elsewhere other than Pirelli

My 128ti was fitted with Pirelli P ZEROS as the "performance tyre" option, and I have to say, I was really hoping for Michelin. These tyres don't inspire confidence in anything other than dry conditions. I know the 128 is front-wheel drive with 265bhp, but the front wheels spin so easily, both off the line and when already rolling. Turn into a roundabout hard and there'll be some front end slide... Would I recommend these? No. I'm saving my pennies for some Michelins!

Wear on edge Greater than the rest of the tyre. Wheels are fully balanced so no offset. Generall driving not heavy footed.

Tyre performed well all round and wore very well. However I am not an aggressive driver which helps.

I had a blowout with this tyre on my new Tesla model 3 after 6000 miles. For me no Pirelli Zero ever more.

The tyre is fine, and okay, however it is pretty useless in the wet. Or...even dangerous. I have a 2016 CLS 220d, sport package. I've used it with an average 245 wide winter tyre. The grip was fine, fuel was fine. I just put these on back(the car is a fresh buy, but the rear tyres had 1 season already on them) Front tyres...i've bought hankook s1 evo3. Setup is: 255 r18 s1 evo3 fron 285 r18 Pirellies at the back. car is fine in the dry conditions. However the back is a bit wobbly...but the car is 1800kg, so i guess its fine. But in the wet. HORRIBLE. The rears are useless. For searching for the limits... In a wet normal road (far from filled with water, just wet) And the car was trying to driftin in a simple straight line hard acceleration. Like I'M having a drift car. Elcectronics were on so there was no problems, but what thell... its just a 400nm diesel with oversized huge rears...should be 0 issues, or some minor slipping. but not drifting. 1 week later i was having a hard corner to get on the highway. It was same wet, i was having some fu, so reached the corner with 55kph. (an average car with fine tíres could have it with 65-70 easily) I did not accelerate, just wanted to check the corner. The fronts were gripped like heaven, but the back. OMG. they lost their grip, exactly like on an icy road in the winter. I've managed to handle the unexpected huge drift/spin since im used to this; and the electronics helped as well. But it was a horrible experience... This tyre cannot handle wet. this tyre thinks that wet is ice. :D The loss of grip is not progressing. Its like fine-fine-okay- and once something more swift happening: instantly loses all the grip. Tyre pressure is fine in all of the tyres. The Hankook fronts are like glue in the same situations. The replaced front-back 245 snow oriented winter ones were much stable as well. 285 rears on a 1.8ton car, with underpowered engine should be fairly good weapon in the corners, no matter what is the weather... Summary: Please dont buy this crap, if you want to survive wet conditions.

I have recently bought a 2016 Golf GTi which came with these fitted and they are not far off new. In the dry and warm the grip is excellent, you can really lean on them and feedback is good. They are also acceptably quiet and comfortable. However they are lacking in the wet. Damp cold conditions reveals particularly poor traction and grip. They are ok in warmer wet conditions but don't cope particularly well with standing water. Overall an acceptably good tyre if you live in a warmer climate but it hasn't got a balanced range of abilities like a newer Michelin or Goodyear equivalent.

I had Pirelli P Zero fitted to the front axle 235/40/18 After only 4000 and 3.25 months there were scrubbed. Diabolical I could not believe it, a so called premium tyre wearing out in no time at all. Never again

On the upside lots of grip, rollover a penny and I could tell you whether it is heads or tails, it's the Jaguar specified OEM tyre for the early XKR and it does a good job. That is assuming the P Zero itself is the same as 25 years back, tech moves on and OEM tyres aren't necessarily the same as the same model aftermarket ones. On the downside road noise is loud enough to be distracting, it's about as comfortable as a hobnailed clog, seems to take some time to warm up and whilst cornering grip seems to be very good in the wet I'm less convinced about it's grip in acceleration. Wet roads result in lots of traction control under heavyish acceleration. Though no issues with braking. On the major downside... I cannot detect any advance warning that the limit of grip is approaching or reached. No squeal or feel, just grip, grip, grip, hedge. I'm currently running mine at the comfort setting of 28 psi as the XKR just doesn't feel like a GT car at normal recommended pressures. Ride is too harsh otherwise, tramlining too frequent to be an enjoyable. Though at 28psi I worry about potholes with those 20" rims on. I've just bought some 18" rims so will try something else on those, save the 20s and the Pzeros for a track day or two and put them back in when the weather warms up a bit. It is afterall a summer tyre. Note however that I live in rural Wales, so dry days come about one afternoon per year, the roads are often potholed and I probably haven't got the best out of the tyres in relatively cold conditions. However on motorway runs where you merely want an easy life the tramlining is an annoying issue. Reducing the pressure helps but doesn't eliminate this. You'd be hard pushed to reach the tyre's limits on back roads so long as they're warm, though on the sort of twisty A roads which epitomise much of Wales finding the limits results in a trip to the body shop after being assaulted by the undergrowth. So thus far it seems like a strange fit for a Grand Tourer but will add a review in the supposed summer to see whether it's merely not mong friendly.

The older they get the noisier they become. Lasted for 40.000km in 3 years. Very good dry grip, but they could have better wet grip. These tires will be my second choice.
